mooger foogers: the effect pedals of note

mooger fooger by meog
the MF-107 freqbox is different from other effects – the effected sound is not a processed version of your input signal, but the sound of the input signal modulating an internal oscillator.

danish built carl martin echotone – reissue
manual time settings, insert loop and switchable trail function at bypass

the fulltone TTE (tube tape echo)
“older tape delays had a history of being unreliable and noisy. but, the fulltone is known to be dead quiet… no pedal or rackmount, analog or digital delay can reproduce the warm, natural tones of a tape delay.” lee scratch perry would be proud. by dd

for old times sake

when we were kids we would get dressed up as kiss, and managed to organize 2 concerts for our bored neighbors and poor families. all outfits where home-made from pajamas, my sister’s tights, the guitars where cardboards glued over tennis rackets and so on. make up was a bit more advanced, with blood capsuls that never worked and silver shadows, of course back then we had no idea what a jerk gene simmons was or how ugly paul stanley really looked. but that was then before family jewels and reality TV stole our dreams. found objects courtesy of pp. by rh

debbie harry – blondie: from playboy bunny to the originator of new wave

debbie was at one point a dancer at union city and a not so great playboy bunny
in the late 60’s debbie worked as a secretary at the BBC radio’s new york office
this is how they dressed at the BBC back then.
stein and harry named the band blondie after the wolf whistle men often yelled at debbie from passing cars
dirty harry: the coolest image i have ever seen of debbie harry
image by warhol:
debbie’s stage persona of streetwise, sexy, cool became so closely associated with the group’s name that many came to believe debbie’s name was “blondie”
that of course lead to partner, chris steins aggravation an to this now-collector, pin!
so beach-ynabokov’s lolita-paper back: given/signed by debbie harry and the so “innocent” brooke shields… or actually 2 savvy charlatans since there is no proof of the signatures
debbie harry at her best… love the knee pads

ok so maybe only blondie could save jersey, but even she was originally born in miami (florida) and was adopted by her to-be family in new jersey. in any case KL got us all curious now and we had to search it out. here’s the collage, or rather the barrage, of blondies retro-pix and a quote from debbie in the no exit tour book, hope you enjoy:

“hi, it’s deb. you know, when i woke up this morning i had a realization about myself. i was always blondie. people always called me blondie, ever since i was a little kid. what i realized is that at some point i became ‘dirty harry’. i couldn’t be blondie anymore, so i became dirty harry.” by xy
