cih Posted June 3, 2012 Report Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) The label's two collections of post-war gospel were great - I really hope they do this well - "COMING IN AUGUST : 'He Is My Story : The Sanctified Soul of Arizona Dranes' (Book w/ CD)" also: My WebpageAimer et Perdre : To Love & To Lose Songs, 1917-1934 ""This is a treasure. With cover art by R. Crumb, I have been thoroughly enjoying it. A wonderful romp through Ukrainian, Cajun, Black Creole and a healthy sprinkling of American country artists." - Dom Flemons, Carolina Chocolate Drops" They have a sale on Edited June 3, 2012 by cih Quote
jostber Posted June 3, 2012 Report Posted June 3, 2012 This seems like some great stuff! Tompkins Square does their packages very well. Quote
AllenLowe Posted June 3, 2012 Report Posted June 3, 2012 perfect timing - I've written a piece for my next CD called "The Last Words of Arizona Dranes." Quote
cih Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Posted June 3, 2012 perfect timing - I've written a piece for my next CD called "The Last Words of Arizona Dranes." Looking forward to that too This seems like some great stuff! Tompkins Square does their packages very well. They do - Susan Archie designed the one pictured - so it'll look great even if we can't get the CDs out Quote
JSngry Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 Maybe it's just me, but I'm beyond tired of anything R. Crumb looking. Just....leave it alone and go someplace else, ok? Quote
cih Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Posted June 4, 2012 Crumb means nothing to me, though it's quite a nice drawing. Quote
jlhoots Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 Maybe it's just me, but I'm beyond tired of anything R. Crumb looking. Just....leave it alone and go someplace else, ok? It might not be just you - BUT I disagree. Quote
JSngry Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) He's an icon, to be sure, so even if it's not just me, it's still not enough of other people to make it stop...I just think his whole thing is creepy, and not in a good way. It was ok (enough) when that type of creepy was at least somehow relevant, but that time has come and gone, as I wish his work on these type projects would. That's not gonna happen, though.

paul secor Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 He does what he does. Myself, I can take it or leave it. If Crumb's art isn't your thing, it seems like it would be easy enough to just walk away from it. Quote
JSngry Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 And I do, which means that I won't be getting this set, which is kind of a drag...but that's what internets are for! Quote
paul secor Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 Man - I guess you do hate Crumb's work. If you won't buy the music because of the cover, that's a strong statement. Quote
JSngry Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 Didn't say I wouldn't buy the music. If it's available as an MP3 set, that will suffice. and yes, I really do hate Crumb's work. Back in the days when I was collecting "underground" comics, I went out of way to avoid his work. Just too damn...developmentally challenged. Too easy, a cheap style triumphing over an even cheaper substance (and giving him credit for having any substance at all might be a push...). Commies From Mars, otoh, that one was a real treat. Think I might still have a copy of this one in the closet. But Crumb? Nah, Crumb's a scourge. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) I have stopped buying Arc Rum as a result of this thread. I should also have explained the Arizona Drains are in the southern part of the state and have been really, really dry for years. I think I have a pic somewhere.
