Kristen and I took some quick photos at the space today, just to give a general impression. You've got to come down to 100 Records to see more!

If you were wondering what this show is all about, this one's for you.
Well, we've pretty much hit the halfway point of 100 Records' stay in Eugene, and it occurred to me some people might still be wondering what it's all about. Maybe missed it in the papers or whatever. So I've posted the full, updated press release after the jump. Read on and be illuminated:

This just in! We've got some 100 Records related merch!
Very excited about this! I got a box full of jams in the mail today from Sonny. We now have a very limited quantity of CDs and 45's for sale, all of which contain some tracks from the show. First come first serve! Here's what we have for you to buy:
100 Records Volume II--I Miss The Jams (Turn Up Record Co.) Ten tracks from the show spread over five 45's. Awesome packaging! Super limited! We have two copies. 45 bones and worth every penny.
Sonny & the Sandwitches 7" (Empty Cellar) Four more tracks from 100 Records featuring Heidi & Grace of the Sandwitches. Comes with four full-color reproductions of work in the show--one for each track--and an intensely personal mini-comic by Hank Champion and Teppei Ando. Beautiful! We have four copies. 7 clams.
The Hypnotist 7" (Future Stress) Four tracks from Sonny & the Sunsets. These ones will blow minds! Two-color, blue/yellow vinyl! Limited to 500 copies. We have two. 7 bucks.
Broom & Dustpan 7" (Home Skillet) "Broom & Dustpan" is a classic! It is backed with "E.S.P." on peach-colored vinyl. Sweet! We have two copies. 7 bills.
Tomorrow Is Alright CD (Fat Possum) The 2010 re-release of Sonny & the Sunsets' 2009 monster. So so good. We have three copies. 10 smackers.

R.I.P. Trish Keenan
One of my heroes passed away yesterday morning. Trish Keenan of Broadcast died at 9 AM on Friday from complications related to pneumonia. Broadcast are/were one of my very, very favorite groups. To say that their body of work (including album covers) had a profound influence on my art practice during my mid-twenties would be an understatement. I only got to see them live once, and it was a revelatory show... and then we were too broke or busy or tired to see them in Portland when they played last fall. Missed opportunities. So sad--she was only 42. It is impossible to overstate just how much I cherish the music she left behind. The extent to which experimental pop is indebted to Broadcast is mind-boggling (Beach House or Atlas Sound anyone?). So, Peace and Respect, Trish. Thank you for everything.

For Real! Sonny Smith's 100 Records
During the past couple of months I practically killed myself to bring Sonny Smith's 100 Records to Eugene, but then Kristen joined up, "Freelance" "Curator" was born, and we pulled it off. The show is presented in conjunction with the University of Oregon Arts Administration and Art Programs, the Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts, and Bradford's Hi-Fi. It is so good. It is my favorite thing. If you are anywhere in the Willamette Valley during January, you must come to the old "Musique Gourmet" space at 942 Olive and check it out! Open 12 - 5 PM. Th - Sat.
Sonny is a hero. Go to his website right now. Maybe you could order some stuff or something?
