when i worked for this record label in austin texas (www.newwestrecords.com), i guess someone high up in the company owed someone else a favor, so we ended up doing the marketing and promotion for the band jackyl. yes, jackyl, with the guy who plays a chainsaw. but because we didn't want any of our peeps--namely, delbert mcclinton and the flatlanders--to be associated with jackyl, we had to create a new logo for everything jackyl-oriented that we sent out. and the label "humidity" records was born. i made many a laminated jackyl "vip" badge for the masses gathering at best buys and circuit city parking lots all over the country. but what would i expect the jackyl demographic to be....
anyhoo, i had to search long and hard for this, but i think it was worth it. and keep in mind, when i saw jackyl in austin, the drummer took his pants off in the middle of the show and played in his speedos. they're a classy bunch.

also, jesse james dupree--champion of the chainsaw guitar--was on tom green's show once and cut up his desk. new west had to buy tom green a new desk. that's funny shit. i tried to find footage of it, but no dice.
