Museum Friday: Auctions, Events, +Updates
Museum Friday Updates:
Another round of rare items are up for auction to keep supporting the Museum and some great progress here! My barista skills are increasing, but it’s still difficult if more than one or two people ask for a latte. It takes a little bit, and I want to be talking to people – not drowning out conversations with the milk steamer. But it’s all getting better and more exciting and impactful as we improve at guiding the tours and experiences – especially down in the studio.
A quick word about the drum track auctions – these will be the last for a bit as we shift concentration to the archival side of the Museum. We just received Steve Albini’s 1/4″ tape machine back from servicing, so we will experiment with that – but no promises! Also, these tracks can sell for quite a bit (not really in terms of one of my drum tracks but $750ish is a lot when you’re struggling and all you have is your music). So, we have been doing this already, but lets make it a formal announcement – each time we have assembled the team to record drums, we’ve spent some time to create one or two additional tracks which we have sent out at no cost – trying to spread some positivity into the world. If you need something like this to recharge your song, or someone else’s brain (mine) to re imagine a beat, or you would just be made a little bit more happy and less stressed by the idea that, in a few weeks, you could have me playing drums on one of your songs – then send me a note on the Museum Facebook Messenger, and we will pick a couple of tracks to play on for free. Please dont take the piss, I have four kids and a fucking Museum, and this is after all my trade? but let us know and as much as we can – we gotcha!
Lots of great events that I’m excited about too are listed below – me and Steve Silver are going to do another Mouthside on the Southside, (stories about Cynthia, Albini and Burroughs to start), PIG and lots of (mis)Guided Tours with listening sessions!
Come visit!
