X marks the date

Here's a unique rock & roll gift suggestion for yourself, or that special someone in your life who happens to be an X fan. It's a revived collaboration between photographer Michael Hyatt, and X vocalist, Exene Cervenka. Here's the blurb:

"In 1982 we created the first Gallery 1331 Xerography Calendar featuring Michael's photographs and Exene's graphics illustrating dates of musical and historical importance. Because 2010's calendar matches 1982 accurately, except for moon phases, we have created the 2010 Gallery 1331 "X" Calendar that reprises Exene's 1982 graphics and features 19 of Michael's best photographs of X shot 1980-1983.

Some of these photographs are part of the Lucky 13 X Box Set of Postcards. That limited edition of 1300 sets is nearly sold out. Only 51 sets are still available at $13 each, plus $2 postage. The 2010 calendar is priced at $20, postage paid. Order both by December 31st and pay no postage. Enjoy all of 2010 with X the band photographs and Exene's graphics, plus bonus information about Leslie Caldera's 30th Anniversary Commemorative "X" Stamps featuring Michael's photographs."

I can personally speak to the high quality of the merchandise as I purchased a set of Michael's X postcards a while back, and was really happy with what I received. Visit his website or email him here to order.

And while we're at it, X has a new digital single out for Christmas, I mean Xmas, called Merry Xmas from X (Jingle Bells b/w Santa Claus Is Coming To Town). You can sample and buy it from iTunes, eMusic, or Amazon.
