Welcome to GAJOOB’s Underground Music Museum
About
GAJOOB Magazine’s Underground Music Museum was officially started by Bryan Baker (that’s me) in mid-2022. It’s a place to house all of the recordings, zines, correspondence and other things sent to GAJOOB since the mid-1980’s. The museum is organized around exhibits of material surrounding PEOPLE (artists, label distributors, publishers, and others). Each exhibit contains a growing number of artifacts (cassettes, CDs, letters, press kits, photos, videos, etc.). The museum houses collections from GAJOOB and welcomes collections from other sources. This represents a life work spanning nearly 40 years of material I think should be preserved as well as kept alive through new and evolving artist exchange.

John T. Baker
John T. Baker first arrived in GAJOOB’s PO Box with his cassette, Itchy Scalp Theater in 1995, and was an instant favorite of mine. His brand of guitar-laden, melodic pop is a joy. He has released his music under a few different label names: Ivey deMilo Recordings was early and recently it’s Baker Acres.

Dino DiMuro
#593 Dino DiMuro was one of my early favorite hometaper contacts; his quirky prog rock pop songs were full of quick changes and odd slices of life. Dino was first interviewed in GAJOOB #4.

Stephen George Smith
Stephen was the first artist to respond to GAJOOB’s call for submissions to the Discussions CD project. I’m afraid this contirbution was the extent of Smith’s work appearing in GAJOOB. See Stephen George Smith on Apple Music
