Mr. BrainAsBigAsAPlanet, Eno, Artifact

Mrs. Lex10 suggests: Vinyl 45RPM The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh) b/w I'll Come Running (To Tie Your Shoe)

Interesting ephemera-y thingie for fans of the inventor of ambient music: The producers of the vinyl items back in the days of Punk & New Wave (*cough* *cough* Where's my walker?) used to get their hands on the masters and engrave messages into the dead space at the end of the cut.
This side, the Lion Sleeps Tonight side, had this engraved:


apologies for the 47 step enhancement - I shoulda just got a tripod out..
also on the Tie Your shoe side it said: "Dedicated to R. Saarikko's Shoes and I. MacDonalds's Polish"
Ritva Saarikko was a photographer who worked with Eno. Apparently not a loafer wearer. Possibly one of the Seven Deadly Finns, a song Eno did around the same time.

Thank God fans can't make action figures, t-shirts, jackets, life size mounted heads, their own theatre showings of Detroit Rock City, pool sticks, dart boards, pinball machines, pint glasses, autographed gear, jigsaw puzzles, more action figures, demon ducks, dinner tables, impersonations of key performers on reality shows, comic books, drinking containers, framed gold records, silver coins, gold coins, bronze coins, and oh yeah, suck music - that they steal!! We'll just have to scrape by, somehow. Loyalty means nothing to these kids.

I can remember being not so sure about LA, at the time, but now, I'd go tomorrow.

La plus ça change, la plus c’est la même chose

Except the gap between rich and poor everywhere has grown wider, ready to suck you into the poor side next.

Also, there's a little "WTF?!?! moment at the bottom.
