I’d basically abandoned Polaroid photography due to the inherent unpredictability of the Impossible Project film, but Ryan Kost’s soft, lovely pictures dragged me back.
Taken today, with PX70.

Sandusky Review: RIP IT UP
faked by gorjus December 30th, 2011
The seventh volume of the Sandusky Review is about the one true royal son of Tupelo: how he lived, who he loved, and how he died. (And how he got his teeth fixed).
Five poems and four illustrations featuring the Blue Moon Boys and the Memphis Mafia. Available at Sneaky Beans in Jackson, Miss. & by mail order from yours truly. 130 copies, and when they’re gone, they’re gone.

Here’s the scratchboard cover for my new all-King zine RIP IT UP. A clutch of poems about the Hillbilly Cat & drawings of Scotty, Bill, Sonny & Red.
Coming along slowly but surely—aimed for November but kept finding things I wanted to write about—like M-16s in garbage cans and Big Boy Crudup calling him Elvin Preston.

Home of the legendary LUV TUB in scenic JXN, Mississippi. The Exile on High Street Rock’n’Roll Book Club met tonight & talked a lot about Mötley Crüe, musical authenticity when you’re from Hollywood, & just how rad the Luv Tub was.
Answer: SO RAD

Working on forthcoming zine RIP IT UP, about Mr. Presley. Currently reviewing the truly impressive list of what was in his belly that night he passed in ‘77. Spoiler alert: a whole lotta codeine & “unidentified barbiturate.”
