7" - December 2009 - 500 pressed, all black vinyl - each cover monochromatic but 3 different colors used - roklok records, magister ludi records, too cool to dance records
all tracks recorded by stephen egerton at Armstrong Recording Studios in december 2008.
the title comes from a description of the opening to the plot of steinbeck's 'the grapes of wrath' - they have no idea whether the phrase appears in the actual book. it's meant to apply both to my own decision to move out west to california, from oklahoma, (the same journey of countless okies in the book's historical era) and to the genre of the zine, the individual instances of which can be both incredibly meaningful and entirely generic and cliche, usually at the same time. it's hard not to get cynical because of the overload of so many people writing in what is supposed to be a deeply personal and intimate form.
