many, many more. Unmastered, untamed. So old school, the dog ate it. catalog

Communicating by the Available Means
"i got my paper and i got my crayons
i'm gonna use my own two hands..."
Part of the some velvet sidewalk spirit was always about
communicating by the available means. At first this meant
playing acoustic guitars into a walkman, or using a home
4-track and bad mics. Typewriters, photocopies, water-colors and crayons.
When indie-rock exploded, the available means came to include
some nice recording studios, offset printing, jewel cases, stages
big and small.
What makes sense now? I don't know; recording at home, writing
and releasing straight to the web? Graphics that bounce or shake or glow on the monitor
screen?
Maybe outdoor shows, bands strumming in trees? Rock-n-roll disintegrating into seagull sounds
in sensearound?
Hmmm...
This website is about continuing those original sidewalk idea(l)s - communicating,
going forth regardless, making and creating inside and outside of the dominant paradigm.
Remembering and pushing forward, both.

April 2002
Right now I am focusing on our activity from the 1980s - the years in Eugene, cassette underground, early shows and
our first K releases, and will be adding more writing as memories coalesce.
If you have any thoughts, theories, memories
or photos, stories or tall tales, show dates or corrections just drop a line to info@propertyistheft.com.
