Rocka Rolla Regrets

Posted by on May 12 at 16:18 PM

In my column this week, I implied that I purchased the new issue of Bitch, a CD by underrated Bay Area punks Crime, and a pin emblazoned with the logo of equally underrated Bronx-based band ESG at Rainy Day Records in Olympia. I subsequently received an email from local Jive Time Records employee RJ, who kindly informed me that while I may have bought Crime at Rainy Day, I couldn’t have bought the pin there because they are made by Jive Time and sold exclusively to Easy Street Records in Seattle and Phantom City Records in Olympia. RJ is right, and in fact BOTH the CD and the pin were purchased at Phantom City Records. The only thing I bought at Rainy Day was a R. Crumb postcard and that issue of Bitch. Apologies to Phantom City Records, who I’m guessing often live in the shadow of Rainy Day. I regret the error. Here is the fabulous pin on my purse (click the photo for a closer view), along with flair depicting George Harrison, Dios Malos, the Cops, Randy Rhoads, Mclusky, Dusty Springfield, a bunny, Black Eyes and Neckties, Girlschool, and of course, Dan Savage’s “Impeach the Motherfucker Already” pin. Incidentally, the bag is made from the grill fabric from an old Fender guitar amp and was designed by local style queen Victoria Simons, who makes all sorts of lovely handbags.
