Sam Pocker's Greatest Hits album and new t-shirts

I've been working on getting the t-shirts of my album covers available online.. They've been in the ETSY store for a while, but they haven't been the easiest for people to find. Here are the first two:

Sam Pocker "Lavatory" album cover t-shirt

You can purchase the "Lavatory" shirt here

Sam Pocker Greatest Hits Pocker's Rockers" album cover t-shirt

You can purchase the "Pocker's Rockers" shirt here

Speaking of which, you'll notice the second shirt is for an album that hasn't been released yet. It's called "Pocker's Rockers" and it's a Greatest Hits compilation. Not bad for someone who couldn't play an instrument five years ago.

I'm hoping for a release date in mid-April. The songs were produced by people such as Paul Kostabi (White Zombie), Geza X (Black Flag), Mark Nevers (Silver Jews), Michael Eisenstein (Letters to Cleo), and a bunch of others. Some of the talented people playing and singing on the record include Austin Riva, Justin Field, Tom Polce, and Kay Hanley.

Sam Pocker at the WFMU Record Fair 2019

I'll be setting up shop at the WFMU Record Fair in Greenpoint at the Brooklyn Expo Center on April 26th to 28th.

I'll be selling these amazing one-of-a-kind handmade, numbered, limited edition (10 of each title) 7" records:



Along with some record fair exclusive t-shirts:




There will also be handmade copies of my book "How I Made Seven Albums in Eleven Months" with never-before-seen photographs and I will have some digital box sets housed in framed photos by Brooklyn based photographer Adalena Kavanagh.

I hope you'll stop by, take some selfies, and buy some stuff. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Making the Show - The Process of Creating a Show for the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2019

I'd been trying for some time to put together an opera called "The Holy Trinity" which took place the night Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears went joyriding together about ten years ago. I had written a treatment, sketched out some ideas, and even had a poster made. Then I kept looking at how to produce it and there was simply no way it wasn't going to lose money.



During the discovery process for that project I learned about the Hollywood Fringe Festival which seemed to be the least expensive way to present the work. I looked at some theaters and when I called the one that seemed to be the best fit I was asked what my show was about. "Oh, we had a show just like that last year," was the immediate reply.

After doing some research I saw there was a show with a similar theme that was nothing at all like what I was working on. Regardless, I knew that popular opinion would simply be that my show was a copy of that show and it would cause the show t…

310-CUT-FOOT

A few weeks ago I took over the responsibilities of running (310) CUT-FOOT, a local hotline which has been running since at least the 1980's. (You can read some more about it here). I've been calling it regularly for about two years at the insistence of my friend Paul who is one of it's most vocal supporters.

The format basically revolves around a character who pretends to be so entrenched in a certain milieu of cultural events that they assume you understand all of the shorthanded codewords which they are presenting in under two minutes. It's the sort of scene that exists in all major cities, it revolves around cultural inbreeding and nothing from any of these scenes ever goes anywhere.

Some examples might be the punk band that sucks performing at the restaurant that's terrible, down the street from the University where the clientele will change every four years, or the art show in the gallery that's nothing more than a stockroom in the back of a shoe store.
