Lemme guess: Target corporate on Nicollet Mall? Right now, dirty navy cords, a Hanes v-neck t-shirt (white) with a few holes in it, and scuffed brown leather oxfords. I like my wardrobe. Target requires suits, so no, but you're close. Care to try again? Man, it's been years since I've been within ten feet of any scene on Nicollet. US Bank? Wells Fargo? Honeywell? (the company, not the punk band) General Mills? I give up. Best Buy. Probably the least formal (thank heaven) of all your guesses, and all major companies in the Twin Cities, for that matter. Oh right. I had a couple of acquaintances who did graphic design for them. I worked at Wells Fargo in their home mortgage division for a little while and hated it. I did wear what I wanted to, however, and put clients on hold because Bill Dixon was calling my cell phone!

Yeah, I'm no fan of Meyer either (nor was I when he wrote for Magnet and maybe AP [that's "Alternative Press"] back in the 90s), but the other guys you mention, Bill, are dandy. Warburton's always a kick and I wish he were still editing Paris Transatlantic!

I know I'm all pinko for saying this, but I hope most of the sales aren't to people who will resell it at a higher "OOP" price... that just bugs me.

I'd really like to get that one, but always get outbid on the 'puter. Got my copy at a reasonable price just two weeks ago. I hope it wasn't you a couple of dollars behind me... Yeah, that sounds about right! Oh well, now you're out of the picture and I can continue hunting!

Will think on more, gotta get to work.

Now THAT I'd like to read...

Birthday wishes from the other side of the pond, and one surefire home of greazze!

I agree. Yes, "Volume 1" is the first 2 discs in the set, which is LP-sized like a Mosaic.

Yeah, that was a good one.

The fuzz just wanted the press.

I'll be putting together an article on Alan Sondheim for their winter issue. This'll be my first STN experience, so we'll see how it goes. I'm looking forward to it, in any event.

I was at a Sonic Youth gig tonight and noticed one of their stacks painted to look like Jasper Johns' "target" works from the late 50s/early 60s. Of course, they also had cover art by Gerhard Richter and Raymond Pettibon (to name two VERY diverse sources), so the connection is there even without an obvious one-to-one relationship. I tend to see music and hear painting, for what it's worth, and am always interested in the connections that can be drawn, however oblique.

Yeah, I ordered one too - figured that, even as I have some of these on LP, it'd be idiotic not to buy this set for this price!

I'd really like to get that one, but always get outbid on the 'puter.

There's also chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez, the short-lived expanded variant of "chewy."

No offence to aloc, but that is still my all-time favorite.

Charles Brackeen - Rhythm X - (Strata East orig) w/ Cherry, Haden and Blackwell.

Yeah, that Hartman skit was great. I can't say the same about these insurance commercial fuckwads.

Obviously if they keep posting like that, WE will be ignoring THEM...
