Hooked On Black Hook

March 24, 2009

I've always liked that Black Hook Ale logo from the Red Hook camp. Don't really like beer too much, with exception of a cold Pacifico or Corona with "South of the Border" vittles. But that's about it.- - - -COULD SPEND THE WHOLE DAY HERE: The "Ghost Signs" group on Flickr. Phew.- - - -BEEN AWHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE: Crop Art. As their site says, "Dedicated to the beauty of seeds pasted on a board to make a picture." Hard to argue with that one. Incredible stuff.I've got one of these in my archives from my time in Minneapolis.- - - -TRUST NO ONE THAT APPROACHES YOU: Tourist scams.(Via Too Big To Fail, the blog of one of my favorite bass players of all fucking time, David Wm. Sims.)- - - -FIRST TIME ON VINYL!: The Red House Painters "Songs For A Blue Guitar." One of my favorite albums of all time. Way up there on the list. I bought three copies. One to play, one a a backup, and one to bury in the backyard. There you go.- - - - IN OUR FINE PRINT IT SAYS: "Bonus goodies included with your order!" Facts are stubborn things. Here's some proof.- - - -SOMETHING THE REFERENCE LIBRARY DIDN'T WIN ON EBAY: The Free Land MFG. Co. Sample Book.- - - -DEAD MEDIA, BROUGHT TO LIFE: Cassette Tape Art. (Sent in by the good people of Corlore.com. Thanks!)
