Like many things involving Nut Music, the interest for Nut News’ inaugural issue seemed slim. We decided to do it again anyway.
Latest release!!! #30 is the new Nut Music sampler called Mixed Nuts Another Sampler?!? With I don’t know how many songs, a color cover, and all the Nut All-Stars in their glory including guys with names like Bro Jack, Ball Cheese, Mr. Fondle, Frank’s Organ Jam, and Infant Mort. It’s promotionally priced to sell at $2. This is one cheap chance to brave our cryptisms and see what we’re up to.
The Nut supergroup that couldn’t decide on a name, made up of Nut solo artists Sal Amoniac, Finn McCool, George Willard, and Tony R. Boies on moog, has broken up due to creative differences. The nursing home tour has been canceled as well. Each band member will continue their solo work.
A catalog request was sent in that included no address. Now someone’s going to think we’re non-responsive, but please, and I do mean to sound like a postmaster, use a return address, use a ZIP code, use bug repellent, use all that stuff, but for those who do choose to write make it easy for all of us to get back in touch.
Slumping sales are being blamed on the fact that many Nut customers are on fixed incomes. College students save their prime pennies for real indie rock while the entertainment dollars of our elderly customers are usually spent on Tommy Dorsey or Benny Goodman CD’s.
Thanks to Mark Robinson of Unrest for his mention of the George Willard Uptight ep in his CMJ singles list for 1992.
Also thanks to Tom Baxter for this multiple product purchases and the Skronk gang, esp. “B-MONeY”, for inviting George Willard to Blacksburg, VA for the Skronk benefit.
Catalogs are now free to anyone who wants one, just write or let us know if you’d rather read something else in the can and we’ll take your name off the mailing list.
The Nut Music slogan retrospective has been postponed to the next issue due to lack of space. This issue’s slogan is from Mole magazine’s Jeff Bagato and it is…NO SALES NO SELL OUT. Send if a slogan we’d be happy to try it out.
Terry Reed volunteered some time recently to work on George Willard’s guitars that were broken at the Alzo Boszormenyi gig. We think he’d be happy to help out as a technical adviser should we ever need any technical advice. Look for the Terry Reed Solo Project, a production he knows nothing about, out sometime soon.
