I was a music editor at a local weekly and my job involved - or so I thought at least and one could call it research - going to see a lot of shows.
But unfortunately, we had a limited budget for freelancers and back then a photographer had to incur the cost of film & processing plus their time and energy for an assignment [uh, analog]. I felt bad only being able to pay them what I could pay them so I took to taking pictures myself (satisfying my latent desires under the guise of "job responsibility").
This is a picture of Mac McCaughan eating a fish taco. I believe this was part of a story I wrote about Merge Records turning ten.
Or maybe it was just for a new record they had released.
Back when they released new records and back when I had the time to write about people releasing new records.
Cool- my wife passed out at a Superchunk show and cracked her molars. You know, I don't think we've been to a show since...
ReplyDeletei need to party with your wife...
ReplyDelete..it was from heat exhaustion or something. She spilled the other half of the only beer she was nursing when she wiped out. I donno... I can't really see someone getting too banged up at one of Mac's band's shows.
