don't miss out! Joe Carducci in Chicago August 2nd
I wish I could have timed it better and been able to attend but I'm urging my Chicago friends to not miss out on this event.
Joe Carducci, author of Rock & the Pop Narcotic, and Wyoming Stories will be at Quimby's answering questions and signing copies of his latest book- Enter Naomi. Regular readers of this blog will already know that I consider this man to be one of the most important writers on Music and Culture, so in other words, don't miss it!!!

Kirkwood Artwork included in Sensational Fix Exhibit in France
If you would like to get up close and personal with Curt Kirkwood's artwork for the Lee Ranaldo Silver Wonder chapbook- Hello From the American Desert and you happen to be in France then you still have a chance.
Sensational Fix is an art exhibit focused around Sonic Youth and is running from June 18th-September 7th. It also features a live performance by the group August 9th.
There is talk of this exhibition traveling around Europe and the U.S. but I think the details have yet to be hammered out.

The other Larry=Welsh
All the Larrys in my life have been busy lately bringing the public the poetic goods...
La Alameda press in Albuquerque, New Mexico just released a stunner from Mr. Welsh entitled "Skull Highway" that's available for $12.00 at www.laalamedapress.com. This is the largest collection of his poems since 1999's "Rusted Steel and Border Town Starts". Needless to say this one comes highly recommended...
His latest chapbook- "Walking Backwards to Santa Fe" is available for $6.00 from us at www.silver-wonder.com and there is a new one on the way called "Del Rey Raga"
Also some anonymous fan has posted an alcoholics music site on myspace at www.myspace.com/alcoholicsla . Larry sang in this punk group from 1979-1982. They released a 7 inch single that recently sold on ebay for $165. You can hear 3 songs from the 5 song 7 incher on myspace.
There is also talk that artifix records (www.artifixrecords.com) which has recently reissued records from the bags among other LA punkers will be reissuing this choice chunk of vinyl for the youth of today to take a listen to.
So congrats to Larry for being so happenin'!
