DIY Album Art: Paper Bags and Office Supplies
Just ordered myself a post-Christmas present: a book that “celebrates the hand-made record packaging that came out of the 90’s hardcore and punk scenes”. There’s an 80-page preview via Issuu at the link above - the cover has the tree from the Indian Summer 7”, and the introduction starts off with the Struggle and Heroin 7”s. The whole thing looks amazing, can’t wait to have it in my hands.
Holy shit, I had no idea this existed. I’m kinda bummed I’ll have to pay $35 to get myself a copy, but considering how devoted I am to that era, that scene, and scholarship of both things, I don’t really feel like I even have a choice.
EDIT: Looking through the preview PDF, I’m finding that I own the majority of these records—and yet almost none of the copies I own look like the ones in the book.
EDIT 2: It appears that I can get brand new copies through third-party sellers on Amazon for as little as $7. My apologies to the original publishers, but I’m probably gonna have to take advantage of that particular bargain.
Looks pretty neat, but like you said, I own most of those as well. I found Touchable Sound to be a bit more interesting, but this is still really cool.
Not my favorite John Leguizamo film, but worth watching. Babysitting/call-girl service at the heart of the film with some “life lessons” thrown in.
The Room has to be one of the most brilliant or most horrible things ever committed to film. Probably the most horrible.

Do you think Obama is moving more to the right just so they can get some policies past/his approval rating will stop plummeting? At some point, I feel like you have to make sacrifices just to move forward. Idk, I’m…
Why is it that so many British shows start off as a comedy, but then quickly turn into a drama. I’m looking at you Gavin & Stacey.
Watched Howards End. Merchant-Ivory films are not my cup of tea. Too convoluted and too many British accents.
Lame trouser. Took me a full 2 minutes to realize this said LA Metro User and not lame trouser.
There is absolutely no reason for this.
Baader-Meinhof: The Inside Story of the R.A.F. I’ve been looking forward to reading this book for quite some time now.
Another great find from Dangerous Minds.
