The Newport self-published author was left high and dry recently when officials with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife increased advertising rates and changed the format in taking over production of the "2007 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations." A three-line advertisement for Lackner's magnum opus, a thin-but-meaty pamphlet titled "Digging Razor Clams in Oregon," is tucked below the "Clam and Crab Identification" illustration on Page 97 of the current "2006 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations." It cost him $180. "I sold somewhere between 100 and 120 at $6.95 a book, so you can see I'm not making a lot," Lackner said. "But I was happy to do it because what it bought me was exposure. "And it's something that I can point to in my marketing scheme when I go talk to potential retailers." So he called Dick Meyers, the person who had shoehorned his thin ad into the 2006 regs.
Remember that kick-ass a capella rendition of "God Only Knows" that we posted as part of the first installment of our Infinite Mixtape series? Well, Petra Haden-- former Decemberist, Jack Black's sister-in-law, violinist extraordinaire, buddy to Mike Watt, and daughter of one of the most bad-ass/coked-up- looking bass players of all time-- is the woman behind it, and now she's taking her a capella show on the road for five East Coast dates. According to a press release, Haden and the Sell-Outs-- her "10-piece (nine backing vocalists + Petra), all-female choir that the former That Dog vocalist/violinist assembled to recreate her a capella tour de forces"-- begin the de force-ing tonight in Pittsburgh and end before Halloween at Buffalo's Soundlab. Expect live versions of tunes from 2005's Petra Haden Sings: The Who Sell Out, which is, yes, Haden giving the entire classic Who album the a capella treatment.
