Ended Tuesday and welcomed Wednesday after a walk in thew wonderful fresh winter morning with Cosmic Overlap by Derek Rogers, released on They Live We Sleep in 2009.

A beautiful c60 release by a man who is no stranger to cassettes. I don’t know how, but this cassette IS Austin, Texas. When SXSW is over and done with, everybody crams into their vans and taxis and leaves the city behind, mountains of concert posters pile up on the street, the city doesn’t know what to do, there’s still some guy trying to give out his demo to anybody who will listen. Derek Rogers isn’t that guy, but I think he understands.

Originall released by with an incredible full color U-card by Jenny Brunet. Packaged in indestructible plastic case. Blue and pink spray-painted nebulas on the cassettes.

**They Live (1988): The Story Behind the Cult Classic**
John Carpenter’s *They Live* (1988) is a sci-fi thriller that has grown into a cult classic. Based on Ray Nelson’s 1963 short story *Eight O’Clock in the Morning*, the film follows a drifter who discovers that the ruling elite are actually aliens manipulating humanity through subliminal messages.
Carpenter infused the film with strong anti-consumerist and anti-authoritarian themes, reflecting concerns about media control and corporate influence. Starring professional wrestler Roddy Piper, *They Live* became famous for its striking visuals, memorable one-liners, and the now-iconic “OBEY” propaganda aesthetic.
