Sam Amidon’s self-titled album, released on October 23, 2020, is a fascinating exploration of folk music that bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary sounds.

The album is a testament to Amidon’s talent for reinterpreting classic folk songs in a way that feels both fresh and nostalgic. His vocals, reminiscent of traditional folk, evoke a sense of longing for melodies that seem ingrained in our collective musical DNA. https://gajoobzine.com/albums/sam-amidon-sam-amidon-digital-2020/

I've posted a video from a 1999 VHS release from Captive Audience called 6 Short Films. GAJOOB received a number of homemade videos around this time. This one is from the Ken Clinger LIbrary which I'm slowly curating inside GAJOOB. https://gajoobzine.com/library/video/captive-audience-6-short-films/

The cover art for the GAJOOBilation One compilation cassette released in 1990 was by Duncan who also illustrated the cover for GAJOOB #6 zine and other graphics found in the magazine around that time.

I've managed to locate the old cassette master of GAJOOB's first compilation tape from 1990 as well as a few of the original sleeves. I may post a track here and there over the next little bit.

Track 1 is "Love Gramps" by Michael J. Bowman. Mike has gone by MJB90, CLOUD, Velveeta Heartbreak and other names. This song is from his Fuzzy Logic cassette released in 1989. Bowman illustrated the cover for GAJOOB 7 and we collaborated on a song after he paid me a visit and we jammed a bit in the basement studio I shared with Joe Maki at the time. Recently, he was the cover designer on The Lord Of the Rings paperback trilogy published by Del Rey.
