Giving me the latest reason to wipe the cobwebs from the portfolio…

All four of my readers are required to purchase Queen: The Ultimate Illustrated History of the Crown Kings of Rock  for a go-to/in-a-pinch X-mas present. Why? Well, my 1,000-word essay on Queen 2 appears in these pages, and David Dunlap Jr gives similar treatment to Flash Gordon. N0, we don’t get any royalties for our respective 2% of content, nor does our journo-reunion make any part of this book seem like an issue of The Cimarron Weekend, but I for one can always use a thin-to-thick representation of my name across the writing world. Great things happen in strange ways! (ex: to other people)

The Minneapolis/St. Paul Star Tribune recently ran THIS  article on Grant Hart and I get a mention towards the end.

Also, did you miss the post re: my liner notes accompanying the reissue of the Strapping Fieldhands’ Discus? It’s two or three posts back, or maybe just one, which means I made it a month ago. What is wrong with me? Time to step it up, Earles.

Last and certainly least, I’m selling a lot of records. Check out that page to your right…the one about selling records. The list has been updated! My last customer was none other than Karl Hendricks of the stupidly-overlooked Karl Hendricks Trio. He purchased an “orig” of R.E.M.’s Murmur and Gaunt’s Sob Story. The latter I’m sort of kicking myself over, but there will be no guilt trips over any item on the new list. All of it must vacate the premises!
