Record Store Day 2009

This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances.

Klosterman on Crue

Motley Crue occupies a peculiar space in the media landscape: Despite selling over fifty million albums, at least three members of the band are more famous on their own than all of the songs theyâ€™ve recorded as a group. Itâ€™s hard to imagine another band who could publish three bestselling books about themselves without really mentioning their music at all.

I guess it’s been abondoned since 1972. Here’s a link to recent article from TheNewsTribune.com detailing some problems in the area, and here are some photos of the ruins.

I saw your pics on Flickr the other day — nice work! I might have to find a bright day to head over there with someone to snap some shots myself.

Cheers!
