byturns:

Bookman’s Alley in Evanston. I found it way too late and now it’s closing this Spring. It’s in an alley behind a flower shop. You can get lost in here. Literally. It goes on and on and on. And on. Interspersed among the books and memorabilia are artifacts from the time period of the books in that section - WWII, English countryside, saddles. The owner doesn’t seem to do anything besides sit behind a huge pile of books waiting to be processed and read, occasionally chatting with customers. I could think of worse ways to spend my latter days.

About

Not quite a record label. Not based in Alaska.

Alaska Tapes started as a fictitious record label for the band/artist We/Or/Me. It took its obscure and misleading name from some audiotapes that documented a series of talks given by the artist's father in Alaska in 1984.

It is now less a fictitious record label, and more an actual artist collective of sorts. It hopes to put out some records, put on some shows, and bring some people together. It will strive to create a supportive environment for creative expression and meaningful conversations. It will favor the word community over the word scene.

So far it involves the following people/artists:

Husayn Allmart, Minister of Communications
Andrew Malo, musical artist Angela Malo, visual artist We/Or/Me, musical artist

Liza Mitchell, photographer

Soon it will involve others.
