Visiting Mr. Kanchev
TOO MUCH GOING ON TODAY: Short post.- - - -YOU SHOULD BE VISITING THIS ONE OFTEN: The trademarks and symbols of Stefan Kanchev. Much respect.This is the best part of his site: Seeing those logos out in the world. Incredible.- - - -LAST NIGHT'S " LATE SHIFT VIEWING" WAS THIS: Towncraft. I remember when it came out, but missed the boat on it. Ingenuity, persistance and spirit. Very, very recommended.Made me think about the bands we'd go see in our little Traverse City scene like Bucket, Dicked, Hobart, Short Bus, Zulu Groove and of course when they came through town: Powertool, Smatch, Ninja High School, Goober and the Peas and those Laughing Hyenas. Seeing shows at Papa J's in the back room, or across the street sitting on the trash dumpsters—watching through the windows of Union Street—too young to get in. Good stuff.- - - -KING OF THE BREEDS: Chuck Pearce found this one and made our day some time back, and we've been sitting on it for some time, just waiting to strike with it: King of the bumpers!- - - -ON THE PLAYER:01.
