I love Disfarmer he was a strange mean photographer from Arkansas who did cheap portraits for families and he was known specifically for having long awkward completely silent photoshoots where he would be under his dark cloth silently working until he abruptly pulled out a bell and would start violently ringing then immediately take a photo. So you end up having lots of these photos of scared looking children and people caught off guard, looking at the camera confused and slightly scared. No one knew much about him and he barely talked to people he just churned out these photos and minded his business then died.

Paltsa-Kai Salama (Pink Chameleons, Black Lizard)

Barrio Colette: Filles Garçons  – Super great new french (?) garage pop song!

Captain Beefheart: Safe As Milk – Raw and gritty garage blues.

Bill Frisell: Disfarmer – Beautiful instrumental country music.

Phish: Clifford Ball 1996 live album- Funny, musical and inspiring.

Wallice: Off The Rails EP – Strokes/Weezer melodies done by young LA singer.

In Heber Springs, Arkansas, a reclusive photographer known simply as Disfarmer created an uncanny record of American rural life in the 1930s and 1940s. Portraits of farmers, soldiers, and families reveal his uniquely American vision of place. For this monograph of Disfarmer’s work, Jack Woody returned to the surviving glass-plate negatives, choosing approximately 200 for this book. A set of contact prints were made from the glass plates, and the book was printed on a sheet-fed gravure press in Kyoto, Japan. Gravure gives the images a richness and depth that evokes their time and place.
