Big, Dark, Black Ocean

March 12, 2009

Down in Santa Cruz, Calif. for a couple days. Right by that big ocean. Leviathans, etc.Fell asleep but a block from the ocean, thinking about things like "surfer localism" and "teenage vampires" and "Jim Phillips studios."- - - -WHERE IT ALL BEGAN: A Folkways record cover designer exhibition from a couple years back.- - - -HERE'S ANOTHER OLD FOLKWAYS RECORD FROM OUR PAL BEAU OUT IN BOSTON: "Vinyl find: History of the Soviet Union in Ballad & Son."- - - -OUR/MY/THIS HEART SWELLS WITH PRIDE: Reilly Brennan talks up the DDC Merch experience like no other, and I wanted to share it, as, it's unsolicited proof that "hard work" and "believing in something" and "simple products at fair prices" is a good combination, and works for all kinds of people, and is kinda fun when you boil it right down, and, most importantly, is something to be proud of. And I am. Thank you.Now go buy some goddamn DDC Merch and get the same human feeling. You need this stuff.
