New York, 1993. “Signal and Its Merch.” Promised to die on stage for years and finally missed his own show. The gap between the signal and the merch, in one ink. Stick it: on the back of a road case, next to the ones that mean something. Machine-washable; the existential dread is not. —spz
That is the whole sum. $2.81 for the item, $4.49 to ship it, and nothing left over — the shop is wired so a sale can never bill the studio and can never pay it either. The book spends twenty-four doors on the line between a signal and its merch, and the only honest way to sell a shirt off the back of that argument is to show you the arithmetic and take none of it.
