the up on easy action
got an email from michigan and a phone call from london the other day and wound up writing liner notes for a cd by the '67-'73 michigan band the up that's gonna be released on easy action records in september. easy action had previously used my history of sonic's rendezvous band as the basis for the notes to the srb boxset they released back in 2006, and label honcho carlton sandercock is a true gent.
i was afraid i'd lost the april 2000 interview i did with up/srb bassist gary rasmussen in one of the several computer crashes i've experienced since then, but i found a printed copy in my files and was able to put together an edit of the relevant portions in a coupla hours. i also sent easy action a brief essay that germinated in my head while i was working one of those overnight shifts at the market earlier this week. nice to know we can still respond under those circumstances.
it also got me thinking about the ephemeral nature of this here intarweb, as the rasmussen int had disappeared from the i-94 bar, where it originally appeared, and the barman said it was unrecoverable, even in a very thorough cache search. maybe after i finish work on the haltom city-riverside crew history this summer, i'll have to start thinking about pubbing a compendium of my old scrawl from the web -- not so much because i think it's for the ages, but because i'd like my grandkids to be able to read it someday if they're so inclined.
