Gold Bond Fan Club

[Angry Ewok]

Those guys "dance" like zombies. They need Gold Bond.

I know I wouldn't appreciate it, but maybe that's just me.

yeah, I wish that someone at Filter Magazine would've heeded those words when it came to my photos.

what happened here?

Filter stole this photo of mine and published it:



it's not even that great of a photo (i'm sure there are better) but they should always ask. also, if they had just printed that photo and written "MY MORNING JACKET IS BADASS x 120,000,000," I would've been okay with it, but instead it was some lame article about musicians with beards, which is ridiculous. How refreshing, writing about the influence of Samuel Beam's beard on music.

that foto is tight. that was a fun night. la zona rosa has the lowest ceilings in the universe though.

[Dorothy_Mantooth]

yeah i remember thinking about that, but then i was distracted when i literally had to rest my forehead on the stage, then find my box of kleenex, all because it was the first time i'd ever heard At Dawn played live. kind of like the time i cried into my chips and salsa when we saw wall-e

Not to get to far off topic here, but the subject of using other peoples photos has always interested me.  What is proper protocol here?  I always thought if it was for personal, not for profit in any form, kind of way, that it was cool, but obviously not huh?

In other words, I agree that Filter magazine's use was wrong, printing it on a t-shirt and selling it, very wrong, but printing it on something for your own use, no big deal.

was that the night they did "beth"?  low ceilings?!  try emo's!

boy, emo's has more problems than just low ceilings. starting with the name. i guess you're thinking of a different night... this was in 2005 i think. whothrewthecake can back me up on that.

on copyright: every artist is different. If you're say, andy warhol, your goal would be to see people printing your work on their own shirts. it's true that if no profit is being made, it's legal to use the work. but that doesn't mean it's always ethical. me giving out free copies of Evil Urges on the street to strangers isn't illegal, but might not seem fair to the creators. i'm sure everyone has a different stance on this.

if i saw one of my photographs or prints printed up on a stranger's t-shirt, i would be flattered but also a little frustrated.

[Angry Ewok]

I've only made one MMJ t-shirt before... and I designed it from top to bottom... and I didn't make a dime off of the project (I did it for fun, and to help spread word about the band).

I'd be pissed if someone used my artwork.

[BH]

I do a lot of picture links from one website to this forum.  Is that uncool?  I'm seriously trying to get a better understanding of this because I respect the artist opinion on the subject.  Just trying to be more respectful if I can.  I sometimes will use band pics and concert posters to make CD artwork for my live shows, but I'm not sure if anyone besides me will ever even see them!

[BH]

Hey, I'm sorry if I derailed this thread.  Please continue all ball fairy dust discussion immediately.

[tomEisenbraun]

I'd say the picture links are probably fine, as long as you aren't taking credit for the work done. Personal use a beautiful thing, and you may even shoot the photographer a note and let them know that you appreciated their work so much that you featured it in a CD for yourself and you see that picture every day and it reminds you of how great the music is. Appreciation is really the biggest thing in art (besides not dying of starvation) and it's so cool to hear that something you've done has made for a cool experience for someone you've never met before. Resonance is a beautiful thing.

Then there's this...

Holy shit.

[harpua51]

Im so sorry that I missed out on the ball dust fairly like goodness that is GOLD BOND.....but I am glad to be hearing about what is good and bad about borrowing other peoples pictures....my myspace page is full of other peoples photos....maybe I should ask from now on?????

I love Gold Bond foot powder....i use it daily!!!

[Taterbug]

Bump...  I see a lot of new folks that may not know about the pleasure of the powder.  This thread is probably in my top 10. I found it after muddling thru about 10 pages of political banter.

[primushead]

I put Gold Bond on my junk directly after getting out of the shower and it made my balls feel like they were going to freeze off.  DO NOT mix this with water!

Did your balls look like they were made out of paper mache  ;) ?

[primushead]

Yes!  It looked like someone poured baking soda all over a hickory farms appetizer.

[ycartrob]

I also am a HUGE fan,  My wife has the dubious honor of walking in on me in the bathroom applying it to my lower region and made a comment that it looked like I was making fritters  :).  We had a good laugh.  It does feel refreshing.

that there is my favorite

I have tears in my eyes....

Some time ago circa 2004 (?) I was sitting at a winery with a couple of dude friends on a hot summer day and the subject of Gold Bond came up. They were trading success stories. One dude fondly says "the yellow bottle feels like a thousand little fairies tickling your balls" then he goes on to talk about another kind not so fondly stating it feels like "a thousand little gremlins tackling your balls" now it all makes sense...he must have been referring to the blue bottle.

Hahahahahhaah!!! So true...it actually does feel like gremlins come to think of it.  Damn you blue bottle!
