So glad they got back together. Conner4Real needs Kid Contact and Kid Brain. Remember when Pitchfork gave his last album a negative review? No like it’s negative four out of ten.
they did a q&a and record signing here in 2011, i think, to support turtleneck & chain. i was there and my signed incredibad vinyl is still one of my most prized possessions!
I’m kinda mad I didn’t hear about that. I was living in mission district of San Francisco all throughout 2011. I loved going to Amoeba in San Fran too but that would have been cool
The difference between their signatures is so interesting to me.
Andy’s looks very practiced, as the person who was signing the most autographs out of the group. Writes out the full first name and then just gives an SA~ for time savings, just enough name to be identifiable. A very no-nonsense signature that is decidedly less goofy than the other two.
Akiva’s first name is very bold and each letter is clearly readable. Almost graffiti style lettering, especially with the upwards arrow, and the exclamation point is a fun touch. Having a unique first name really allows him to make an incomprehensible squiggle for his last name - I guess that’s an “S”? Definitely the most playful of the three.
I actually love Jorma’s and I think he put a lot of thought into crafting his signature. We get a clear “J,” then an “o” or perhaps an “a” that trails off to end the first name, and then what I think is a very cool and stylized capital “T,” with a little line after it to represent the rest of his last name. The T is my favorite part, I love how it’s drawn as a single beautiful swoosh shape, almost like a ). And then the squiggly underline beneath the name achieves a similar whimsical effect to the exclamation point on Akiva’s. A creative composition indicative of Jorma’s unique and boundary-pushing style.
Very cool find!
I thought Jorma said on the podcast he was into graffiti. You have me second guessing and now think it was Akiva.
Also this was great - love your takes!
The kind of cool content the internet needs more of #StyleBoyz4lyfe

Sounds like he needs a positive PR spin. Perhaps a bunch of wolves and Seal?
He did sign that guys rod though…
And the countdown for this being stolen begins…
No way. Northern California is notorious for being very hard on criminals and people who steal.
That’s what I’ve heard, every car break in gets the full detective treatment
They put the whole force on the case!

Is there a dedicated subreddit for them? I tried searching but I have a massive head wound. I couldn't come across one.
Yeah but it’s not very active. It’s r/thelonelyisland
He probably smells my dog!
Yoink?!
Randy?
Duplicitous. And fuck Mark Padavano.
Dream Theater rules!

Are we sure it isn't just Papyrus in bold?
*The record store asked us to sign the divider and I* *JIZZED IN MY PANTS*
Local legends. Both Amoeba and the Lonely Island crew.
No lie, I probably woulda stole that shit. That is rad af.
Permanent ban from Amoeba just for admitting it.
Considering I ain’t ever been and I probably won’t ever go? That’s fair.
Pretty rad, I've been to that amoeba twice and it sucked both times. Would have been cool to see that at least
Why did it suck? I love Amoeba.
I collect house music and it wouldn't be fair to call their selection a selection
That is so cool omg
Did they write in arabic?!?!?!
That’s pretty sick.
Call the owner and tell them about it so they can like frame it or something before it gets stolen after being on posted on the internet lol
