AP Drop Alerts - Phish, Goose, Billy Strings
Pollock, Masthay, and Your Cinema artist copies dropping this week
Hey there,
Lol, yea I know it’s been a while but it’s a new year and I’m momentarily enthused about a new thing -- turning this fizzled newsletter into one focused exclusively on art created for and by artists in the live music circles I tend to frequent.
I’m still plotting out what that might look like and odds are I’ll abandon things by the time I get there but here’s what you need to know, now -- the next 72 hours or so will give you the fairest shot at getting a few great posters from the three biggest acts in the scene right now. After that window passes, eBay and the web of Facebook groups will be your best bet, which isn’t great -- you’ll be paying quite a bit of after-market nonsense.
And this is why I’m itching to get involved here -- I’ve got a ton of friends who don’t use FB and the fact those groups are still the best source of drop info isn’t ideal, in my opinion at least. And eBay sellers are (mostly) vultures. Many artists announce these drops on their socials or email lists, but those are hard to track if you’re just tangentially interested after attending a great show and wishing you hit the line.
So that’s where JS 2.0 is hoping to come in -- let’s see how long it lasts.
This week’s three big drops:

A quick aside — Waterwheel will also be throwing some of their Pollock New Years prints initially available during the run on Bottleneck at the same time, and the gallery will combine shipping if you’re lucky enough to snag both.
They look like this:
Thanks for reading folks, and most importantly, for sticking with me. Let’s see how long this pivot lasts. I’d love to know what bands you’d like to see tracked for a future newsletter. Please let me know what you’d like to see out of a situation like this by emailing bkries@gmail.com, subject line: jam sandwich.
All the best
