Today’s Featured Book: Concrete Inspection by Crispin Hellion Glover

Subtitle of Concrete Inspection by Crispin Hellion Glover: “A Manual of Information And Instructions For Inspectors With Standard And Typical Specifications.” Actually it’s a collage telling the story about the narrator’s mother (among other things). Even though it’s a black hardcover with copper engraving (I think maybe engraving is the right word), it feels very zine-ish ’cause of its cut-and-paste approach. Funny that the story would be about the narrator’s mother (and we realize you should never assume the narrator is the author), since when we call the publisher (Volcanic Eruptions) to place reorders, we’re pretty sure that we talk to Crisin’s mom. We’re not 100% sure on this one, but well, pretty sure. Maybe. Anyway, we have some of his other books too, here.

Bend Matrix Live at Quimby’s

stopped by the store today and gave a short demonstration on the . It is some kind of crazy sequencer that sends audio signals out to different speakers. So armed with an array of eight little speakers, a circuit bent drum machine and hand built tonal generator Dan proceeded to rock out the back of the store with crazy tones and cycling beats! Excellent!

Its the time of year coked out art vampires don sunblock to go out of their bat caves once again and the kids return to the streets to fight the man and their boredom with a mix of dance moves and wheat pasted stickiness. In a dark void somewhere in between these two groups Version >08 is taking place. So check out the website for full schedule and to make sure you don’t miss any of the fun!
