Gig Posters volume 1
Yesterday I received the long anticipated Gig Poster volume 1 which I pre-ordered a few months ago. My anticipation was not undeserved! This 11×14 inch book boasts over 200 pages of beautifully re-produced full page prints each perforated if you want to tear them out for display. This collection is both a ready to hang exhibit in itself or an amazing inspirational resource to have on file.
If you are not already aware of this centralized online poster community, check it out at: gigposters.com.

Scimitar Cooperative
Anyone who A: has spent much time in the Santa Barbara area and B: fosters a healthy creative appetite, has undoubtedly noticed lack of anything resembling an authentic music or visual arts scene in the vicinity. Those with there heads above (or below) the crowd have been required to travel a few hours to the south or many hours to the north to get their dose of current happenings.
Lately however, there have been few artist collectives and sole movers and shakers who have been working hard to jolt some life and organization into the area. Among these are The Scimitar Cooperative and sbdiy. Anyone in the Santa Barbara, Goleta, Isla Vista, or surrounding areas looking for some original thoughts will have better luck at events connected to these groups rather than those posted by the boorish Santa Barbara Independent.

Bon Iver
Andy White over at silent film records recently turned me on to the latest Bon Iver record which was released almost a year ago now.
It’s a beautiful listen from beagining to end. The dry acoustic guitars and harmony ladden vocal layers dominate its sonic real estate.
