I have lots of dial-in meetings for my job. Some of us are on mobile phones, some on office phones, some in a room together with a speakerphone. More than one person is on a speakerphone at any given time. Many of my coworkers are quick, verbal people who talk over each other.
For months my frustration has risen. I can’t talk or hear most of the time. Small noises near speakerphones are tremendously magnified: huge clacking keyboards, rumbling mice, ghastly gurgling mucus, and rustling paper like thunder.
Duelling cheap switches on speakerphones result in unintentional arguments, and questions that can’t be answered because everyone is talking over everyone else. Frequently the system overloads and only a buzz or shriek can be heard.
Today I had a breakthrough. This is a wonderful industrial/cutup anarcho-postmodern noise piece. Cabaret Voltaire and Adrian Sherwood are in the house. We are smashing the already smashed mirror! We’re going beyond! WE ARE ART DAMAGE!
But enough rejoicing. It’s time for me to get back to tuning feedback into the mix of bug report discussions and the hellacious crash of plastic water bottles. My JUICES are FLOWING!!
Everyone talks about P.T. Barnum. Barnum Barnum Barnum.
What about Bailey? Doesn’t he get any love? Are his contributions just forgotten?

I scanned in some of my parents’ 1950s jazz record covers. My favorite so far is the back page of a flexi-disc magazine called Sonorama from 1959. It’s an ad for a perfume called “Rock ‘n’ Roll” and the artist is Salvador Dali!
Others are under the cut
I can’t decide which I want more, the “give me a penny” coin bank, or the Black Lady Mechanical bank. The whole collection of Black Americana is OUTSTANDING. Kudos!
P.S. It’s 2007.
There are many reasons to order Bruce Licher’s stuff: good music, he’s a nice guy, honest seller. But my favorite reason is his letterpress art. The album covers are always amazing, he includes bits and pieces of letterpress from years past, and even the packaging is very him: Lots of labels, cool printing on things, and his own stamps along with the Postal Service ones. Edit: Go buy lots of stuff from him: http://stores.ebay.com/THE-INDEPENDENT-PROJECT-SHOP
