I’m working my way through the NAP archives, having just been steered in its direction in recent days.

For the last couple days I’ve been playing LPs on my shelves that haven’t gotten much attention in the past few years. Kilian’s post jolted possible memories of buying a couple records by the C*nts at SoundEx at some point (I would guess) in the late 1990s. In fact, I had, and so about 10 minutes ago I put “A Decade of Fun: 1978-1988″ on the turntable. My evening is better for having done so.

… and Pere Ubu had this song called Non Alignment Pact. La boucle est bouclee, as we said.

Mike (lead singer of the C*nts) is great to talk to about music. He’s been around forever and remembers everything. He’s had correspondence with all kinds of luminaries including Jandek. He and Jandek have been penpals since 1981. Mike has all his stuff too. Mike’s entire basement is consumed by records all stored in special containers that look like converted U.S. Postal mail bins. He’s also a fantastic photographer with work dating back to the Dem Convention Riot of 1968. He writes for Lumpen and I hope to get him onboard here to write about this site’s muse and one of Mike’s favorite artists, David Thomas (Pere Ubu). Mike’s an inspiration.

Kilian, it was awaesome to talk to Mike Pocious on that memorial day bbq in chicago. His stories about exchanging 45s and cassettes by mail with other bands reminded me how easy we got it now a days with our podcasts and downloads and mp3s. And the one about GG Allin’s 45 (or was it a cassette?) splattered with blood was freaking hilarious.

Its very cool how Ed’s 8-track was the catalist for all these people getting together and recording and learning about recording. On the other hand, we just got a mac laptop with garageband and that program is so simple that even a technological moron like myself can crank out a half decent sounding song in appx 3 hours on the first sitting by myself at home. I’m thinking I will never need another human being to record my music, very creepy. John, and all others self-admitted recluses, you might do well to stay away from it, if any of you ever want to see the outside of your house again.

Hi Kilian

I didn't have time today to check out all of the music, but really liked Kathleen Judge's artwork. The scratchboard works are awesome.

I posted a test podcast on NAPS podcast blog, which seems to work just fine, and will work on a more inclusive one tomorrow.
