Description
So I, John Jughead, had a flood while I was in DC. I had recently been showing the Screeching Weasel Documentarians my complete collection of all SW and Lookout Records and whatnot lps and eps. I have been perhaps the only Weasel that has kept all his memorabilia, and the only things I had parted with, I parted with for free to friends like The Manges, The Popsters, and The Lillingtons. After the interview I stupidly left all the records on my floor in the basement, and while I was gone in DC my basement flooded. Most of the material has been destroyed. The few records here are miraculously barely untouched. I had promised myself I would never sell these records, but now that my collection is incomplete I no longer feel an attachment to them... But my memories have a price, and that price may be unreasonable. So be it. If no one wants to pay the price I will just give them to Massimo Zannoni
Added enjoyment: So I was at Ben's house, I can't remember why, but we had not been playing for awhile, he said that someone wanted to start releasing covers of Ramone's records. I thought it was a stupid idea, but then we decided it was TOO stupid to pass up. But the decision was to cover it as close to the original with only a few purposeful changes. The picture was taken in my back yard in Logan Square, Chicago. I remember staying up late in Mass Giorgini's studio playing with knobs on the studio reel to reel board and trying to get precise levels, because this was before computers. There were trains passing by outside in Lafayette Indiana. I think the Ramones ruined our band, or inspired our band, or ruined our band, or started our band, or ruined our band.............
PS. If you want anything personally signed, I have no real problem with that.
