Things from a box vol. XXVIVX
Going through my phone archives, found a few clips from Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. Before things got strange with covid. It was awesome time seeing these guys, especially this close. RIP Dallas Good
Dirty Duff Denizens (DDD): a go fund me for the mall cobbler who's $10K patching machine needs to be replaced. This guy is down the long hall, behind the scenes. You can see some original terrazo nearby, from the days before the mall expanded & sent semi-bougie.

Congratulations! Once in a while they get it right. Well deserved.
I always find it interesting that this is her most loved album, because it’s also the one that obscures her greatest gift - her voice.

The new Long Branch album is out now! Listen on our bandcamp, buy deluxe vinyl there too. On all the usual streamers. longbranchmusic.bandcamp.com/album/arc-of...
The great and mind-bogglingly prolific author Edmund White. I shot this during 1989 International Festival of Authors in Toronto, the first time I heard him read. From thereon I read all of his books in his voice, colouring them with more depth and a conspiratorial salaciousness. RIP #edmundwhite
Black and white poster for the third anniversary party of publisher Drawn and Quarterly. The evening featured performances by Jonathan Richman, Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet, Girl Trouble, and the clown duo Mump and Smoot
What a party this must have been...
Thank you @thedonpyle.bsky.social

Dallas’s absence feels so profound some days. Missing him every day but particularly having him in mind and heart on this rainy, blustery 52nd anniversary of his birth. #dallasgood #dallasgoodforever

It was nice knowing you when you when there were many things about you that were great, USA. I’m so sorry for how they’re desecrating your corpse.
Mogwai! Brainiac! Intense volume hangover! @mogwai.scot #brainiacfromdayton
Clem Burke during and after. I shot these at the El Mocambo, in 1978, for Blondie’s Plastic Letters tour. Thank you, Clem ❤️ @officialblondiefan.bsky.social #clemburke
The debut of Non-Op! Spectacular first outing. Congrats Stevie and Dex! #nonop
