KSV Bandcamp Is GO!

Droogz!

Karl Schmidt Verlag's official Bandcamp page goes active NOW!

http://tomsmithksv.bandcamp.com/

The first 24 albums (from 2008-2009) have been uploaded, and through Sunday evening several of the releases will be offered at the "pay your own price" rate, with others at the sickeningly lax rate of either €1 or €2 (for double disc releases). Come Monday, prices revert to nosebleed levels. I have 200 free downloads to piss away, so do your worst!


Have fun,

TS

RIP Edward de Grazia...

Sad day... Edward De Grazia's landmark 1991 tome, Girls Lean Back Everywhere: The Law of Obscenity and the Assault on Genius, has been on my bedside, in one continent or another, since its publication. Remarkable book, equally remarkable human. 



NY Times obit here.
