Recently, Chris Bilheimer came through and we fabricated some solid stencils of Chris’s work to be used for the New Green Day album (those next). Before the job was final, we fabricated some limited edition Damsel Jewels for Chris and the Band. Better know someone if you wanna get your hands on these folks.

Introductions are in order. Some grand changes over here at Blackbooks. Bringing an old friend of ours J. Levine into the official Blackbooks familia. He will be cooking up some fresh flavors to the Ol’ Blogsworth. Over the years JL has supplied us with some of the most solid music that graced our days. On occasions we might not agree, but for the most part JL is a tastemaker when comes to some heavy tunes and we dig his opinion. Be on the look out for homboys posts, I’m sure they will be solid.
Read this interview we did with JL here.
