The Goods: Issue 07
John Hull
I first saw one of John Hull’s paintings in Chicago. His depictions of rural America felt familiar, even though they were of places I’d never been.
There’s a voyeuristic nature to them, like you’re seeing something you shouldn’t.

This 1978 documentary explores our notions about the afterlife through the death of our pets.
I found this beautiful description of Duster’s retrospective “Capsule Losing Contact” and had to share it:
"San Jose’s sonic cure-all for the Y2K hangover that never materialized, Duster emerged from a cloud of lonely bong rips to take indie rock to the moon, and beyond. Scotch-taped guitars toggle between a chorus of brittle winter trees and a blanket of distorted fuzz. The low rumble of a cardboard box being kicked in a dead mall keeps pace in the background, as muffled, sung-spoken vocals ponder the great mysteries of modern mundanity. Three years of home recording accidents and blown-out 2AM studio experiments are spread across four LPs or three CDs, gathering the short-lived trio’s Stratosphere and Contemporary Movement albums, 1975 EP, singles, demos, and other miscellaneous debris into one escape pod, now free to drift in the endless void of space.”
