Our seasonal rhyme is: "We are the vandals who took the handles. Eventually we will get all our illusive hip ducks in a row. Retro memoirs to be sorted and/or distorted and hopefully polished to a suitably hip but discreet new swagger."
We are excited, honored and proud to announce our inclusion in the museum exhibition SONIC YOUTH ETC.: SENSATIONAL FIX. The exhibition focuses on the multidisciplinary activities of Sonic Youth since the band's formation in 1981. It features the band's collaborations with visual artists, filmmakers, designers and musicians, as well as a choice of other works selected by the band. On display will be our past issues of BB GUN magazine #1- #7 from 1994-2004 and various BB GUN memorabilia (postcards). Through the multidisciplinary output of Sonic Youth and related works by other artists in the exhibition, an alternative history of contemporary culture is being uncovered in which the division between 'high art' and 'low art' is being called into question, while issues are explored such as teenage rebellion, adolescent wanderlust, gender, fame, fashion, sexuality, and religion.
The exhibition is initiated and curated by freelance curator Roland Groenenboom in collaboration with the band and will be presented at LiFE, St. Nazaire, France (from 17 June to 7 September 2008), MUSEION , Bolzano, Italy (from 10 October 2008 to 4 January 2009), and Kunsthalle Dusseldorf, Germany (31 January to 26 April 2009). Further venues are currently in discussion, in Europe, the US and Asia. A complete description of the show can be found at www.sonicyouth.com
Us? Paper. Ink. Histories. Stories. And other updated collages at: www.bbgun.org
Future projects include The BBOOK and a mandatory candlemaking class every Tuesday night.
*Please note to those who have queried: Issues #1-#6 are sold out; #7 available via our website. We stopped printing the magazine a few years ago. Thanks for your support.

Cognac and Christmas carols, Ahh, that sounds lovely. It would be an honor to sit by your fireplace and enjoy a Bert/Wolfe/Teel evening.
No Zeppelin? That's alright, we can bring over Booker T & the MG's Xmas CD and have a soulful gathering.
Until then sweet Linda.....
May the Birds of Winter sing you beautiful songs.
