Somebody told me you could make a killing analyzing music most people feel is sonic nonsense/noise/bad/garbage.
OK, OK, just joking…
But wait; hey, who determines badness anyway? I mean, I’ve never thought of Jandek as bad despite the sometimes lobotomizing effect produced by repeatedly listenings of the same eight second snippet for the purpose of transcription.
Some scratch notes for you…

Recently I acquired a near-complete run of Op Magazines (1978-1984). I hadn’t intended on purchasing them, just browse through them for a couple of days and photocopy anything useful for present/future research projects. But I got sucked in. And they were for sale.
The ads themselves were just as fascinating as the articles/interviews, perhaps even more so.
Here are a couple of ad images.
More on Op later.
