Band Vans: whitey, gray ghost, and maybe one other that I forgot about. Three, possibly four. I wish Jim Wilbur was here to answer this question. We maintained them very carefully, so they tended to go pretty far.

The thing that struck me the most throughout was how loyal you guys are to your bands, and how willing you are to make new albums happen for them regardless of prior success. While there are the examples of acts that moved on of their own volition, has there ever been a Merge act that you had to "let go" or at least were unable to give support to for whatever reason?

I did take a costume design class and a pattern drafting class. You would never guess that from the cut off shorts I wear as my "performing costume."

it's good that you don't feel that level of competition with your label-peers, because you're right, you're all in this business with similar objectives and values and ethics and want to see each other succeed!!

Tell us which you have enjoyed, been inspired by, or maybe even taken as a model.
