A Pretty Great Day, Actually

Will was by today to drop off a lovely pile of LOST IN THE WASH art for lettering. We discussed the art for the postcard exclusive for Megacon 2010 and watched an old MADBALLS VHS I had recently ripped onto disc. It was a nice afternoon. Add to that the fact that Jeremy is right now putting finishing touches on a 20-page Prairie Dawg solo comic for con season, my own new project is steaming ahead full and Carter is getting copies of NIKKI HARRIS 3 any day now, and I find it’s been a pretty sweet week.

So of course I went back to FYE. This time they swear tomorrow is it, and the impending SnowayinhellI’mgoingouttoday-alypse should seal the deal.

THE DERAILERS – Under The Influence of Buck

VARIOUS – Double Dragon OST

VARIOUS – Across 110th Street OST

XAVIER CUGAT AND HIS ORCHESTRA – Mambo!

VAN HALEN _ For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge

GRAHAM PARKER – The Extended Versions

JOHNNY GUITAR WATSON – Funk Beyond The Call of Duty

SOUPA VILLAINZ – s/t

CLARA WARD & THE CLARA WARD SINGERS – Somebody Bigger Than You & I

WINGER – Pull (The case actually had two copies of this in it. By 1993 Atlantic Records would do anything to inflate sales figures of hair metal)

SERVOTRON – Entertainment Program For Humans (Second Variety)

LOUIS PRIMA & KEELY SMITH – Greatest Hits

VARIOUS – The Mars Daybreak Original Sound Log II

EDIE ADAMS – There’s So Much More

RODNEY CROWELL – Jewel of The South

VARIOUS – Poltergeist The Legacy OST

VARIOUS – LJT’s Texas Music Festival

Also took my first look at the DVDs, an act I have studiously avoided in order to avoid bankruptcy. Worked pretty well. Only found three in the cheapo bin (further reduced 50%):

The Wings Hauser epic LIVING TO DIE

Mexica wrestling epics MISTERIO en las BERMUDAS and BLUE DEMONCONTRA EL PODER SATANICO.

BRUCE WACKER BAND – It Can Happen (Cheapest of the lot)
JOHNNY “GUITAR” WATSON – Johnny “Guitar” Watson and the Family Clone (Curiosity, plus it’s SHOUT Factory)
RON WOOD – Slide On This (Curiosity again)
THE WAITRESSES – On The King Biscuit Flower Hour (There are a lot of KBFH releases floating around, no?)

THE SLITS – Trapped Animal (REUNION! Hopping Jesus Diaz, can it be?)
