Dead like the squishy Disney VHS container!
Dead like the cassette tape insert!
Dead like those damned CD jewel cases and their booklets!
Dead like DVD and Blu-ray box art!

STORE OF THE MONTH: POST POETICS / SEOUL

Thursday, July 12, 2012

The Hair Apparent

Sunday, July 8, 2012

Interviewer: Okay well, my last question actually comes from a special surprise guest who asked me to ask you this, so you’ll have to guess who this question came from.
Victoria Legrand: You’re asking it for them?

The original and the cover epidemics in the age of youtube.
