New Record! We recently got a receiver and speakers here at Slowmobile HQ.  200 watts of sound for only $40 at the thrift store.  Hooked up the old record player after way too long in storage. One of the first new records I bought was Sonny And The Sunsets’ “Hit After Hit” - and been playing it nonstop.  It’s a bit reminiscent of old Jonathan Richman, Buddy Holly, The Ventures, all kind of fuzzy and crackling, warm and jangly.  The songs are short and simple.  Its a great summer record; wish I’d gotten it earlier when it was so hot.   You might be familiar with Sonny from his multi-media art exhibition 100 Records, for which Sonny wrote 100 songs and their B-Sides while in residency at Marin Headlands.  He then recorded all tracks and built a custom jukebox to play them all on demand, which was exhibited along with a 7” record cover for each single, designed by different visual artists.  The whole thing toured (and is still touring the world I believe.)  I was lucky to have been invited to design one of the record covers, and we showed the whole thing at Okay Mountain gallery in Austin, Texas.
