Bicycle Day by Brian Blomerth (@pupsintrouble) published by @anthology is back in stock at Gosh! “Illustrator, musician and self-described “comic stripper” Brian Blomerth has spent years combining classic underground art styles with his bitingly irreverent visual wit in zines, comics, and album covers. With Brian Blomerth’s Bicycle Day, the artist has produced his most ambitious work to date: a historical account of the events of April 19, 1943, when Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann ingested an experimental dose of a new compound known as lysergic acid diethylamide and embarked on the world’s first acid trip. Combining an extraordinary true story told in journalistic detail with the artist’s gritty, timelessly Technicolor comix style, Brian Blomerth’s Bicycle Day is a testament to mind expansion and a stunningly original visual history.” #comics #anthologyeditions #illustration #bicycleday #lsd #cartooning #brianblomerth #alberthoffman #terrancemckenna #goshcomics (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B47XjSxBmwU/?igshid=prujqrkg2zb6

SPIRIT OF 76

On what would have been Lou Reed's 76th birthday, Anthology Editions is proud to announce DO ANGELS NEED HAIRCUTS? – a window to a little-known chapter in the life of one of the most uncompromising voices in American popular culture. In 1970, 28-year-old Reed quit the Velvet Underground and moved home to Long Island to embark on a fascinating alternate creative path: poetry. Coming in April, this book, the first to be produced by the Lou Reed Archive, gathers poems, rare poetry, zine images, and photographs from the era by Mick Rock, Moe Tucker, and more. Included with the book is a 7” record of previously unreleased audio of the 1971 St. Mark’s Church reading, a foreword by Anne Waldman, archival notes by Don Fleming, and an afterword by Laurie Anderson. 📸: Jeff Albertson

Back cover action 🍄

Included in Julio Santo Domingo’s expansive library and featured in ALTERED STATES is “12 hours of reel-to-reel assembled by Jack Kerouac’s shrink with amazing, unpublished, unheard material ending with the last 10 minutes of his memorial mass in Lowell, Massachusetts.” Kerouac was known to use tape to record extracts from his books, and would also record his stoned conversations with Neal Cassady.

Jonas & Agnès 💞

When Max Fish closed in late 2010 Tino Razo began looking for some needed change and found himself in Los Angeles the following spring. This move lead to a rejuvenated energy and desire to skate, which LA satisfied with its abundance of empty swimming pools.
