Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:09pm
Parq:

In fairness to Ian A (who I've no doubt is a world-class, multiple-award-winning A-hole), one-shot payments for visual piecework was the order of the day in the 20th Century. What happened to the Aqualung guy is nothing compared to what happened to the creators of touchstone super-hero imagery. And $1500 is still better than the "think of the exposure you'll get" that many visual artists (and writers, for that matter) are offered for similar work nowadays.

They used to be regulars on this show called "Boss City" back in the day.

Absolutely always an extra nostalgia hit from this Spanky one — a real piece of period meringue pie and atmosphere.

Spanky and Our Gang's albums are exceptional. A really interesting, underrated group

As soon as Tesstify! is over I am going out into the street to look for something with a lot of sugar on top of it. The needle on my "Syrup Meter" is in the black...and it need to be in the red.

F16C - will have to listen to a Spanky album, may have heard one long ago but not in recent ages.

@TDK60 - They are fairly cheap and easy to find. Well worth picking up

Larry my info comes from someone i knew who really liked them and i thought she said these 2 songs were the cake's 2 hits (baby that's me & "i know") but maybe i misunderstood and these were just her favorites.

Franco i'd say try an archive of Jeff Mullen's "noise and syrup" show, but...it's a different kind of syrup!

@C - It's possible they were regional hits on the West Coast. I will investigate.
