2012?

Dear friends,

I've noticed that a lot of you are still checking in here and sadly I haven't had the time to make any updates to this blog. The amount of business and attention my shop Black Gold Records has been getting has made it really difficult for me to find the time to do anything outside of covering hours at the shop, hustling records, and having to act like a real life adult! I plan to pick up where I left off as soon as possible, but for now please follow my progress via the shop's website.

Hope to see you soon and thanks for the support!

Sincerely,

Jeff

"Alien Girl"

1981 NYC minimal synth pop

I remember when Robert Smith was all up in arms over the likeness infringement of his character when the Edward Scissorhands movie came out in 1990. Here's a cover from a 1987 Slovenly album that's a little proto-Ed Scissorhands if you ask me. Looking further, and with some help from my girlfriend, it turns out that everyone actually loves the same man from the same classic German tale known as DR. STRUWWELPETER

A little flier I made for the next dollar sale at the shop.

Come to BLACK GOLD!
