Digitial Music Revolution

Greg Kot is the music critic for the Chicago Tribune and co-host of everyone’s favorite rock’n'roll talk radio show, Sound Opinions on NPR.  His new book, Ripped, debuts this week and explores how the digital revolution impacts music consumption. As a custom button company for so many bands and record labels, this is definitely a topic of interest.  Go meet Greg and get an autograph at Borders at 2817 N. Clark in Chicago on May 20th, and tell him Busy Beaver sent you.

Pin out the Jams

MC5 proves buttons and t-shirts are not mutually exclusive.

Pin out the jams, brothers and sisters.  Record covers feature special appearances by buttons.  A personal favorite is the insert for Kick Out Jams by the MC5.

How did they button their bare chests?  And more importantly, where can an authentic White Panther button from Detroit circa 1969 be obtained?

Post-edit:  Original MC5 White Panthers button revealed  here.
