I've recently started putting together my lifelong collection of posters with the purpose of trying to sell most of them. I'm open to offers of cash or even a trade if I'm interested in what you have to offer. I don't want to put them on eBay just yet. I've sold posters on eBay before & they can be a pain in the ass. However, if it comes to that, I'll do it eventually.
Listen while browsing the amazing photographs at www.eugenemerinov.com. Nine tracks of alternative & punk and post punk, including music by Bauhaus, Bush Tetras, Lydia Lunch / 8 Eyed Spy and Pere Ubu.
I don't think the River To River shcedule for 2008 has been released yet, but original UK punk band (and arty to the core), Wire, have announced a one off North American show here in New York on May 30. Their most recent newsletter had the following to say:
"New Yorkers may be interested to note that Wire will be headlining a big free festival on May 30th as part of the River to River series. A more wider-ranging visit to North America will take place in October, but no dates are currently conformed. As always, it pays to check back with the website periodically, to see if more dates have been added."
They will have a new album out on July 7, and have plenty of activities scheduled for the year. Visit the band's online home, PinkFlag.com, for details.
The British band Wire is something of an oddity -- a highly influential band hardly known in its home country, and one that has broken up twice, only to come back each time as something totally different.
Three albums by this '70s art-rock band have been reissued and are now available: Pink Flag, Chairs Missing and 154.
