On the road once again - postings to resume September 7 - in the meantime, enjoy these news items and enjoy your Labor Day break - 1) Another cool Kickstarter project that fans of the NYC punk scene will certainly want to look into - photographer David Godlis has initiated a fund-raiser to support his effort to publish a book of his pix of CBGB-era punk rockers - stars, fans, and those who just wanted to stare at the stars and fans - and is offering supporters a number of ways to participate, with many levels including limited-edition signed photos at less-than-going-rate prices. Davids natural-light shots of the clubs and the people who frequented them are impressive, so it is no wonder that, with a goal of $30K, hes already received pledges for more than twice that (nice!!). The project is accepting pledges until September 30, so please visit https://kickstarter/projects/1745732143/cbgb-punk-photos-by-godlis-1976-1979-the-book to reserve a copy for yourselves. 2) Our friend Adrastos has published a new album cover art story about Bob Seidemanns very-hip album cover artwork produced for Jerry Garcias 1972 solo record. Magritte blood must run through Bobs veins - it is a fascinating cover for a trend-setting musician. While Seidemanns Blind Faith cover gets most of the press, his talents graced the covers of a wide variety of musical acts.
