Chris Phinney was active within the realm of experimental music from 1982 until his recent passing last month. Whether it has been his main recording project, Mental Anguish, or his label, Harsh Reality, Chris' involvement with the development of 1980s cassette culture and beyond, is immeasurable.

In late 2019, Chris was hit by an uninsured driver. The collision compounded previous injuries, and found him in a wheelchair unable to work. Phinney was the father of four children, three of which were still dependents at the time of the incident.

Any proceeds will go to his family.

Elisha Shapiro, Nihilist (Interview)

Elisha Shapiro’s “Nihilist Olympics” was a performance art conspiracy where participants and contestants engaged in competition which included an “Art Destruction” contest. There was also a matter of making u-turns into oncoming traffic, in which the winner allegedly paid a cab driver to carefully do it for them. Similar prankish bits of media performance art include a run for Nihilist Sherriff, Nihilist Governor, and “Nihilism Expo ‘99”, a “World’s Fair for Nihilists”. Shapiro has hosted an annual “Nihilist Film Festival”, performed as a “Nihilist comedian”, and for several years, hosted a public access TV show called “Nihilist’s Corner”.

Danielle Chelosky has a new book coming.

Her collection of short stories (Female Loneliness Epidemic) on this same imprint is now among my favorite pieces of literature, just for its easiness, attentiveness and un-self conscious reflectiveness. I've read the novellas, too, and Baby Bruise was a fun affair that flirted with the possibility of an older man, in ways that were effective but also subtle. I found it charming.
