Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!

Knock it out of the park and get to home base on Wednesday, December 7th as Rob Faucette presents new work which features vintage baseball images as well as new Girl Friend Beer artwork in a show titled “Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: Forgotten History of the Famous Unknown,” held at Alexander’s for Hair and on view through February.

Using Google Image Search, as well as combing through old auctions and sports memorabilia sites on the internet, Faucette spent hours collecting old photos and illustrations of men playing baseball. Divorced from their original context and transformed into power-hitting images, yesterday's heroes stand at the plate as nameless icons: men in action playing a truly American sport.

Also featured in this new body of work are 10 hand drawn baseball cards featuring players from the Baltimore Peckertracks, sponsored by Girl Friend Beer. This wily cast of characters will be seen together for the first time and you won't want to miss your chance to pick up a new Girl Friend Beer coozie or the chance to score an original piece of artwork!

Alexander's For Hair will be sponsoring a raffle, beer will be provided as well as wine.

Score One for the Home Team!

Who: Rob Faucette
What: New Artwork: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: Forgotten History of the Famous Unknown sponsored by Girl Friend Beer
When: Wednesday (Pearl Harbor Day), December 7th, 2011 from 7-10 pm
Where: Alexander’s for Hair on 11515 W. Pico (next to the SF Saloon) in Los Angeles, CA, 90064

CAn by Amy Radio released on iTunes!

Click here to see it in iTunes!

I just released an album on iTunes under the Amy Radio name featuring 10 songs. The songs range from the heartfelt "Permanent Kisses" and "Outfaded and Dated" to irreverent love songs such as "She Farts Shasta Daisies" and "Neuter My Heart" to an under-known George Jones song, "The King is Gone (and so are you)" about a guy talking about women while getting drunk with a Jim Beam bottle of Elvis and a Fred Flintstone jam jar.

This was recorded in an empty warehouse in El Segundo, California and is straight-up and Lo-Fi, just me and a guitar and a big empty room. On some of the tracks you can hear the fuzz of rain in the background.

I heard the phrase "Amy Radio" from a guy I knew in northern Vermont and he used it as slang for A.M. radio and it stuck with me to describe that feel and sound and wonderment when driving late at night and coming across obscure songs and sounds on the radio. In 2006-2008, I wrote, produced, and recorded a series of radio shows for a radio station in Vienna, Austria under the title "The Amy Radio Show" which dealt with such American themes as the Highway, the Wild West, Space Travel, and Trains. These Amy Radio recordings are an extension of that. Enjoy and stay tuned!!
