Where Are They Now

So I remember saving a clipping that mentioned that Jim Martin (the former Village People meets Hell's Angel reject flying V wielding guitar player with Faith No More during their commerical apex), had largely given up music (now partially refuted at this site) and was mostly hanging out in Hayward, CA (a vertitable music mecca I tell you) and growing mutant Pumpkins, at one point being one of the top 4 giant pumpkin growers (there is a competitive index?) in the state.

There was an inset photo with the article thatfeatures Martin with a Pumpkin larger than his FNM royalties and looking like a Kentucky Fried White Trash vegetable fetishist.

What is it indeed.

And in not so music related news (but art related and maybe tangential to this blogs general substance):

Slate has an article on digital editions as opposed to the tangible "originals" in the art world. This is some of the issues I struggle with in my own work, which has largely become a complete hybrid of analog and digital techniques.
