LARD BACK COVER 1989
Back of LARD 12”. 1989. In Bottom right corner: Label logo: Jason Traeger. Biafra did the lettering. All you handwriting analysts out there should get to work.
Anyone who knows me knows I've never been one to revel in the past. I'm the last one to cast a misty-eyed glance back at the "good old days". In my experience the people who take this angle are usually the ones who weren't there. Whatever mistakes, false starts and missed opportunities I've had the pleasure of having, I was wherever I was for better or worse.
This blog is not meant to romanticize any choices I made or any particular era. It's simply a place where I share stories and take stock of where I've been as a way to figure out where I might want to go next. I'll celebrate some people along the way, some of them you'll know or know of, others will be new to you. I'm glad to have known every one of them.
The posts are in no thematic or chronological order. The date at the end of the post's title refers to how the content of the post relates to me personally. I make no claim about the accuracy of my recollections I only promise that I'll be as honest and accurate as I can be. If you were there and you remember things differently than I do, or you find evidence that contradicts my memory (I wouldn't be surprised or upset) feel free to let me know.
Rather than editing the posts for historical accuracy, I'll put ( * ) next to any parts that have been challenged or updated for that reason.

LARD RECORD ILLUSTRATION 1989
LARD Illustration 1989. I was into Robert Crumb during this period, I think his influence shows a little in this drawing I did for the inner label of the Lard 12” released by Alternative Tentacles Records. I worked for AT from 87-90 I believe. I did mailorder and all Biafra’s record trades and a bunch of other stuff. That was a cool job to get after high school.
