Museum Monday: New Items This Week

Events, PPIM Newsletter Best of Chicago, Pigface, Skinny Puppy, Thrill Kill Kult

It’s so difficult to try and stay on top of all of the wonderful things that are happening: great visits from people traveling specifically to visit the Museum. I KEEP asking, “what are you doing in Chicago?” To get the answer ‘THIS!” Soon we will need an official hotel of the Museum!

Just this last week:

a framed smashed key and other pieces of plastic from a NIN keyboard
a metal poster from The Moore Theater in Seattle 1994:
screen printed with, what looks like, an 11” nail welded across it
some Jello Biafra spoken word bootlegs cassettes
a PIL Bad Life magazine ad
a MLWTTKK frisbee
Margot Olavaria’s (founder of The Go-Go’s) handmade penny dress

Anyway, come visit is what I am trying to say! Tickets to events are going fast and plz vote for us if you have a couple of minutes in the Chicago reader poll!

Thanks,

Martin

New Pigface Shirt

New Pigface Shirt:

Twelve plus years before System Of A Down came up with the brilliant title of ‘Steal this Album’ (November 2002), Pigface had inserted that phrase subtly onto a promotional sticker for the first album GUB in 1991. Throughout the list of people on the album, the shopper is encouraged to “steal this album, steal it now … (no ones looking!)”

I thought it was fucking hilarious! However, a few record store owners didn’t agree and sent some pretty fiery letters to the office threatening to never stock Invisible records again! Anyway, we thought it deserved to be memorialized on a new Pigface shirt – go gettem! (no stealing!).
