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

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.

  1. Weekends With You

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.

You might get a Wikipedia page live for a day or two but when it goes through the sight of 'Wikipedia reviewers', they'll take it down." This was the email I received from a wikipedia editor who had offered to help me get a page. Why did I want a Wikipedia entry? I felt like it would be the easiest way for someone who had just discovered my work to see the multifaceted overarching body of work. Nobody really cares, but I had put in the effort into writing one anyway.

The editor didn't want to see the article or know anything about me, he just asked for some of the footnote links. I sent the first few that came to mind : The Wall Street Journal, NPR, Daily News, Washington Post, etc.. There are so many more that I didn't even bother to dig up after he shot down the idea.

I don't question his knowledge of the system, but it still feels bad. Like m…
