PRESSINGS & SENDINGS
There's really nothing like the visual and tactile sensation of letterpress printing, a hopelessly outdated but wonderfully analogue alternative to digital foragings. Bruce Licher of the band Savage Republic sent me this postcard years ago, and it's a fine example of his expertise in this medium. If you care to check out victorian technology filtered through a contemporary mindset, Bruce is your man.

Barney Rosset of the Grove Press also published the Evergreen Review as an analogue adventure between 1957-73, presenting a host of post-war artists and writers to the reading public in an easily digestible form. Authors as diverse as William Burroughs, Allen Ginsburg, Albert Camus, LeRoi Jones, Marguerite Duras, and Alain Robbe-Grillet were given forums to express newly wrought political, social, racial, erotic, existential, and artistic views. The magazine was not a kind of "gated community" of radicalism, but a challenging immersion into First Amendment rights.

New THIS SECOND SLEEP CDr
A FLEA IN HER EAR is a collection of shivering awning flaps flip-flopped into sound and it's uppity neighbor, music... maybe. It is available through this site in nearly non-existent numbers. Enjoy.
