Superlaphonic Hi-Fi


This is a recent piece of mine and as you can see it is a collection of blank record sleeves. Now I haven't owned a record player in a long time, but now (thanks to this project) I own a bunch of records!

Having purchased them all at Goodwill and Salvation Army, I have come to the conclusion that old people must have enormous collections of Christmas music. I have managed to secure a few interesting records, though. . . like "Fife and Drum Music of the Revolutionary Period". Really?! They made an album of this? There was also a recording of some French crooner from the 1960's. I was incredibly excited to find "Music of my People" (the 'people' being those of the Jewish faith) but after purchasing it, I discovered that some scoundrel had swapped the actual record for Dvorak. Crap. I didn't need any more Dvorak.

For the Birds


For whatever reason, there is this one parking lot in town that seems to attract more fine feathered friends than any other. It must have the best garbage or some such attraction, for you can barrel towards them and they do their darndest to stand their ground. At the last possible second they will relinquish their territory only to reclaim it seconds later. . . even if that territory is now located beneath your freshly parked car.

I think this calls for a great big helping of "Whatever"!
