SEASICK MAMA ASKS WHAT THE FUCK IS DOOTH METAL?

SO THE LOVELY, LOVELY MARIAL WHO IS SEASICK MAMA MADE THIS AWESOME SHIRT THAT I CAN'T STOP WEARING LET ALONE CARE TO EVER WASH BECAUSE IT'S SO SICK. I LOVE HER DEARLY FOR GIVING ME ONE. SHE ALSO RULES SO HARD FOR PRINTING UP OUR IMPOSE T-SHIRTS. STAY TUNED FOR HER UPCOMING EVENT "DON'T BECOME THE THINGS YOU HATE" IN WHICH IMPOSE'S OWN SIX WORDS "SMOKE WEED EVERY FUCKING DAY" IS BEING FEATURED.

IF YOU DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW IT'S ACTUALLY "DEATH METAL."

BUT HAVE YOU HEARD OF INDOROCK?

STARTS GETTING REAAAL GOOD AT 4:10.

OH YEAH STUDIO BASED IN NORWAY

THIS DESIGN STUDIO IS TOTALLY MAKING ME WANT TO RELOCATE TO NORWAY IN THE HOPES THAT THERE CREATIVE GENIUS WILL RUB OFF ON ME. BASED OUT OF OSLO, THIS DUO DESIGN TEAM LIKE TO GET SHIT DONE ONLY AFTER DINNER MAKING ME STRONGLY THINK WE WOULD GET ALONG JUST FINE. I'M A TOTAL SUCKER FOR HIGHLY RENDERED PORTRAIT ILLUSTRATIONS AND THE MIXING WITH MESSY DESIGN ELEMENTS IS REALLY BLOWING MY MIND. NOW WHERE'S MY BROWN CHEESE?

GIRLS AND TIMES NEW VIKING LISTENING PARTY HOSTED BY IMPOSE AND INSOUND ON SEPTEMBER 16 AT BRUAR FALLS

I LOVE THIS DRAWING AND I LOVE THIS FONT. TODAY'S A GOOD DAY. IF YOU LIKE THESE BANDS THEN YOU SHOULD COME TO OUR LISTENING PARTY WHERE YOU COULD DRINK AND BE WITH FRIENDS AND LISTEN TO THE ALBUM WHILE YOU DECIDE WHETHER TO BUY THE ALBUMS OR NOT.

ALLISON SHULNICK'S WORK MAKES ME WANT TO PAINT ALL OVER MY WALLS.

ALLISON SHULNICK HAS A GREAT INTERVIEW OVER AT FECAL FACE . IF YOU FOLLOW THE WEBSITE YOU MAY NOTICE A DEPARTURE FROM THE CURATORIAL AESTHETIC THEY NORMALLY FEATURE, BUT HER WORK IS BORDERLINE WEIRD AND REFRESHING AND IS GOING REALLY WELL WITH THIS CAFE BUSTELLO COFFEE I'M SIPPING AND SCHOPENHAUER'S ESSAY "ON THE VANITY OF EXISTENCE" I JUST READ EARLIER. I'D REALLY LIKE TO HAVE HER COME OVER SOMETIME, MAYBE WE COULD TRY AND PLAY WITH THIS SHY AND FRANTIC CAT I'M BABYSITTING OR COLLABORATE ON SOME MAKE BELIEVE FANTASY WORLD MADE OUT OF CLAY AND MELTY THINGS.

"I don't really know the answer to that. I know that I seem to be drawn to sad characters, the forlorn reject. Something about being on the outside. The outcast. But I also am intrigued by the super confident fool. He too is a reject. I'm not really interested in what's accepted by people. I like the things, places and characters that have been forsaken. On both sides of the field. The happy genius fool and the pathetic misfit. I guess I like drama."

SERIPOP RETROSPECTIVE AT SPACE1026

I'VE BEEN A HUGE FAN OF SPACE1026 DATING BACK TO MY COLLEGE DAYS IN WHICH I COMMISSIONED SPACE1026ER'S TIM GOUGH AND TOM LESSNER TO DO SHOW POSTERS FOR BANDS LIKE THE MOUNTAIN GOATS, RAINER MARIA, I AM SPOONBENDER, ENON, DEAD MEADOW, BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE TO NAME A FEW. SO I'M DELIGHTED TO KNOW THEY'RE HOSTING A RETROSPECTIVE OF MY LONGTERM CRUSH, SERIPOP, WHO DO FANTASTIC DESIGN WORK BASED IN MONTREAL. FOR THOSE OF YOU MORE INFLUENCED WITH THE MUSIC WORLD YOU MAY KNOW THEM AS MEMBERS OF AIDSWOLF. NOW IF I ONLY HAD WHEELS TO TAKE ME THERE.

NOVELLER AND BURNING STAR CORE

WHEN I MET SARAH LIPSTATE WHO IS NOVELLER I WAS HIDING UNDER THE IMPOSE MERCH TABLE CONCENTRATING ON A FINELY DETAILED HEAD DRAWING. SHE PEEKED UNDER AND ASKED IF SHE COULD BUY MY TAPES, IN WHICH I REDREW DIFFERENT COVERS. I BELIEVE SHE GOT THE SIOUXEE TAPE AND MAYBE SOME CLASSICAL ONES TOO, CAN'T REMEMBER. ANYWAYS, I WISH ALL THE SUCCESS FOR HER, SEEMS LIKE SHE'S DOING FINE THOUGH, POST PARTS AND LABOR. APPARENTLY BURNING STAR CORE IS REALLY INTO MAKING.. FART NOISES?

DUCKTAILS

I ONCE SOLD MATT WHO IS DUCKTAILS A "SPECIAL" BROWNIE AT THE FIRST NY EYE & EAR FEST. THEY WERE $3 A PIECE, BUT HE CAME UP TO THE IMPOSE TABLE PULLED OUT A CRUMPLED DOLLAR BILL AND SHYLY SAID IT WAS ALL HE HAD. I COULDN'T SAY NO. NOW HE'S FUCKING BLOWING UP ALL OVER THE BLOGOSPHERE.

Kinda how i'm feelin' today

Listening to CHLL PLL.

GRIZZLY BEAR TODAY? HAHA YEAH RIGHT.

WALKED IN THROUGH THE BACK ENTRANCE AFTER SEEING A RIDICULOUS THREE BLOCK LINE WRAP AROUND TO SCORE SOME CAFE BUSTELO ICECREAM. I KNOW IT WAS THE LAST JELLY SHOW, BUT WE JUST DIDN'T CARE ENOUGH WITH THAT WHOLE THING ABOUT LIGHTNING BOLT BEING BACK. SO WE WALKED OUT ICECREAM IN HAND, SPOTTED A FAMILY WITH TWO KIDS NEAR THE END OF THE LINE DEBATING WHETHER IT WAS WORTH WAITING AND GAVE OUR ALL ACCESS PASSES AWAY. HOPE THEY ENJOYED THAT VIP SECTION, ... PROBABLY NOT. UNTIL NEXT YEAR...

LIGHTNING BOLT + TEETH MOUNTAIN + TALK NORMAL + HOT BOX @ 979 BROADWAY BACKYARD STARTS AT 3PM

ITS FUCKING SUNNY TODAY AND I NEED TO EAT SOMETHING THEN I'M HEADING OVER THERE. I REALLY WISH I COULD WATCH FROM THE TRAIN TRACKS OVERHEAD. DRAWINGS TO COME.
