In 1991, a friend of mine got an advance copy of #Nirvana's upcoming album, #Nevermind. He brought it over for me to hear because he knew I loved the #Beatles and he thought these new songs were as catchy as Beatles songs.
It's going to blow up, he said.
Nah man, that's a stretch, I said. It's catchy, but so are the Pixies.
Imagine my surprise a couple of months later.
Here's our prized Nirvana related possession, just a few months before the end.

#BandcampFriday Originally released in 1990 with cover art by #FrankKozik, “Born in Blood” has now been remastered for your listening pleasure. There’s a fantastic cover of #TheKinks’ song, “The Way Love Used to Be” on here. Hailing from in Houston, #PainTeens was a chaotic hybrid of punk, noise, tape manipulation, digital delays, sampling, and exotic instrumentation. https://painteens.bandcamp.com/album/born-in-blood-2023-remaster

Bender's Bar And Grill is currently featuring a collection of posters and original art by #FrankKozik. Frank's work is so iconic. It's cool to see it in person.

Another one, I freed from the paywall for you.

An extensive but also sadly upsetting read about #FrankKozik, who died in May, in the NYT today -- gift link here. Sadly, it's been announced it was self-inflicted. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/27/style/the-life-and-death-of-a-punk-rock-warhol.html?unlocked_article_code=HVT2y5D-XDJtwbvWJ9NOh6NUod0cuMJA1CZe4t8xuU65QElTJNnwQQCIb-FH9XeX4sRibQsj1h47xfMZ_ci-pnh9y-Zbz5yqIhQ4Dtf9dAGjnvtsLZM6YjDx7vJTiJ5PdTWOQ-lAtxswRqFq04OEeea8CU8lYv7R1bU61qgioSPPmTU_7aGPMeZeAg4j7PFdTpitDgK6_7qcMtNdFgYmbCoz7Msa8_vOQkBKm8DuyBci9QQPmdH27V3pfLowfPtCFjXq38tmd4ByNQ-0S16RSx9Sz_jiDmWmLljHqz4zqog1XpDiWTA9ta0kkrRjU22H8WBffr5y9U90xrQ18mBig641xrmD3mqY3lStJHhZsWE&smid=url-share

Sad to hear about his passing. Think I've still got a few of his posters from the 90's in storage somewhere.

RIP Kozik.
Besides his prolific artistic output, his short lived indy label Man's Ruin was excellent and legendary. I used to order directly from them from the record store I was at around that time. Still have some of their promo cds.

Real damn shame to learn about #FrankKozik's unexpected passing. Beyond his famed artwork, it's worth seeking out releases on his label #MansRuin, which more than any other label I can think of made the earliest and best argument for stoner rock being an actual genre with great bands exploring a form in multiple ways, and like all good labels further just released whatever the hell it wanted to along the way. #music https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man%27s_Ruin_Records_discography
