New print>>> Silkworm US West 2026 tour poster commissioned by DIY legends Silkworm! These persnickety 9-color silkscreen prints are currently on the road with the band, bound for Missoula, SLC and Denver (Ghost Canyon Fest) and the idea is that you go to the show and buy one.

The thing people should know about ZZ Top is that those early records, like Tres Hombres for example, are the gold standard for how rock records should sound. Immaculately recorded records, true auteur stuff, albums that set out to be exactly what they are

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

Prompted by an overdue re-listen to Paul Simon’s “Graceland,” I’m finally tackling this 900 page monster. I loved White Bicycles and bought this upon release but have been intimidated by its bulk. Joe Boyd writes about music with the rarest sensitivity and insight. @ze-books.bsky.social

Hey Chicago I love you. HMU if you want to grab one of these…I’ll have a stack at the studio, a stack at home, and will bring the rest downtown tomorrow. And remember, a masked thug is not an agent of law. A masked thug is a masked thug, full stop.

Chicago Railroad Bridges (2E) Set of 4 letter-size, 7-layer silkscreen prints explores these iconic structures. I printed a new improved edition of these pieces (first made 2017) for Flatstock in March, then got sidetracked and forgot to put them up in the shop. Now remedied!

Just finished (Petty & Heartbreakers guitarist) Mike Campbell’s new memoir. I read a lot of these things and readily enjoy them without expecting great literary merit: give me some dumb rock stories and I’m happy. This one was particularly good and not dumb. Best rocker memoir since Geddy’s.

I can’t get enough of this new Anika single. Anika is best known for sounding like Nico doing karaoke to a thrift store rhythm box. This is much more organic but still wonderfully icy, like an uptempo Galaxie 500 fronted by…Anika. Yay for Doom Pop. youtu.be/0CrMwEcbp9Y?...
