I had this local punk guy named Jon LeVine that lived in my town. Jon did a fanzine called Faith sometime around 85/86. Jon also briefly did a record label and worked at a local punk record shop called Grot. When he was first starting his record label he was corresponding with Ian MacKaye over at Dischord and getting tips and suggestions on how to start up a label. Ian sent Jon this unused, uncut Minor Threat 7” for reference on how to hand cut, fold and glue his own 7” covers. Jon gave me the cover sometime around 87/88 when I was buying his Crippled Youth and Underdog 7” off of him. He threw the Minor Threat cover into the deal, along with a cool Underdog New Beginning Records poster that was used to promote the release of the 7”. (via Double Cross)

I like this web site but I am still curious about his work.
Santogold - “Lights Out”. Good friend and Louisvillian Terry Campbell plays drums for Santogold. Song is pretty catchy.
Oh hai … I’m just here hangin’ out while Thommy sweats his ass off while unloading a uhaul.

junesix posted about his favorite poster makers. I commissioned this from The Heads of State a few years ago. That I convinced my superiors to trust my taste in great poster making was in itself a great accomplishment. I also like the end result.*

Buchino gave me this poster for free! I have it hung up in my office - it is one of my favorites. Heads of State also designed the logo for local coffee shop Quills.
This is the first video I ever “liked” on Vimeo. What was yours?
