This is the "else" page of the Recursive Delete website, which is a collection of other items of interest that don't live on our web server. We've divided it up into a few different categories:
design & packaging | labels | musicians & performers | other | software | venues | zines
Here are the ten most recently added items, with descriptions by Jack:
The Clutters - link - Sunday, June 11, 2006 - comments (0)
I haven't seen Doug, the guitarist/vocalist in the Clutters, in at least eight years -- we went to high school together and played together in Thee Autobots just after I had graduated. When our band met its demise and I moved to California, I remember questioning Doug's decision to pursue his ska band side project more seriously. But it was the mid-nineties; it can be forgiven! These days, in the mid-00s, Doug is living in Nashville and playing in the Clutters and, if reports would be believed, taking fans of garage music by storm. On bass is Jake Rosswog, also a high school classmate, who played with me in my first ever band(!), formed when I'd gained my first crappy drumset on my sixteenth birthday. (8x10 Nude Glossy was the name -- ask me for that story sometime.) I hope I get to see these guys live one day!
Miracle Theatre Group - link - Sunday, June 11, 2006 - comments (0)
Teatro Milagro is a theater in SE Portland that hosts Hispanic-themed productions. I used to have a housemate, Christian, who built sets there, and now I have discovered that Tim is their new marketing director.
Never Twice - link - Sunday, June 11, 2006 - comments (0)
Some of Portland's most winsome crafters, printers and tote-makers have a home for their wares on this shopping-cart-powered website. (Full disclosure: I help maintain their website.)
Handmade Bazaar - link - Sunday, June 11, 2006 - comments (0)
A twice-yearly craft fair organized by Meredith Butner and Katie Greenhoot in Portland, Oregon. What began as an event held in their backyard grew to become the large event that it has become, with ballroom-sized venues full of tables of neat handmade goods.
Tugboat Press - link - Sunday, June 11, 2006 - comments (0)
Publishing books and comics for a few years now, Tugboat Press puts care and tasteful design into each item released under its banner.
Amanda Boekelheide - link - Thursday, June 02, 2005 - comments (0)
I look at most of the projects I work on and see that they have a very surface-level appeal to them. Amanda, on the other hand, has studied this thing that we call "art" and is obviously very high-minded about it. Consider me jealous -- and flattered that she saw something in WAGNC!7 (which she proofread and co-edited), which seems to me almost like art brut by comparison.
Type Foundry - link - Wednesday, May 04, 2005 - comments (0)
Type Foundry is a 5,000 square foot studio located in inner North Portland and run by Adam Selzer, Jason Powers and Jeremy Romagna. Lots of excellent Portland bands have recorded or produced music here, including Recursive Delete's own The Online Romance.
The SnuggleUps - link - Tuesday, May 03, 2005 - comments (1)
This is a Portland electropop duo that really has to be seen to be believed. I've known these guys since "before they were stars," and I think that is what makes me appreciate the music they make all the more. They are best friends and champion this continously in their lyrics, which sit atop their catchy jams like so many cherries on a row of sundaes. Eat it up, I beg you. One of these days -- at least in my dreams -- Recursive Delete is going to put out a 12" of 15-minute SnuggleUps extended dance mixes.
Imprint - link - Wednesday, April 27, 2005 - comments (0)
The folks who run this business are invested in what they're doing, so far as I can tell; it's a real "by the punks, for the punks" kind of establishment. They're based in Florida and they printed the covers of the first 7" by The Online Romance. I can't say I'm disappointed with their work, nor their timeliness.
Perpetual Motion Roadshow - link - Monday, January 12, 2004 - comments (0)
The Perpetual Motion Roadshow is a monthly tour assembled by Toronto author Jim Munroe. He did a few tours promoting his books on the east and west coasts, and used the contacts he made to help out other folks. Every month he collects three individuals and sends them out on the road together to perform their work. I was one of the three folks who participated in the eighth edition of the tour, a west coast jaunt in January 2004.

All the junk on this site (graphics, audio, text) is (cc)1999-2009 Recursive Delete. Not because we believe that we invented the wheel and want credit for it, but just because it's not cool to take other people's art and use it for your own without at least asking first.
