Mixtape #1: Jesus Swept

"Jesus Swept" ©Guy Mondo, collage on card c.1987


About the title/cover:
Legend has it that, before he got famous, Jesus was a carpenter in his step-dad's shop. I guess, like any employee, he had to do a lot of different things around the shop so i'm pretty sure he had to sweep up all the time. I bet Joseph probably had to give his "Son-O-God" stepson a reality check every now and then, too, along the lines of "I don't care who your daddy is, you work or you don't eat! Now, get t'sweeping before I put my sandal up your ass!"

here we go...!

I used to make a lot of little collages as covers to mixtapes I'd made for friends and for my own personal enjoyment. Every now and then a recipient got the wrong idea as to the "meaning" of the content of the tape. Sometimes I hoped for something that wasn't what I'd hoped for. So, now, I've started this blog of my playlists and, maybe, I'll tell some related stories, too.
