RIP Greg Shaw
LOS ANGELES -- Independent record producer Greg Shaw, who helped pioneer the "garage rock" sound by recording such edgy bands as the Stooges, the Germs, Sky Saxon and the Flamin' Groovies, died Tuesday of heart failure, his record label announced. He was 55.
Shaw founded Bomp! Records in 1974 to release a single by the Flamin' Groovies and later managed the group,
Shaw, who spent his career championing the works of artists considered too unruly for mainstream labels, represented groups whose musical styles ranged from rockabilly to surf to psychedelia to power pop.
The San Francisco native's interest in music was piqued when he began collecting records in the 1950s, eventually accumulating more than 1 million.
After moving to Los Angeles, Shaw wrote for several rock music publications and worked for a time for United Artists Records.

Suddenly, before me, new objects appeared, bizarre figures cut out, notched, a set of articulations has become suddenly visible and these observed objects were no longer banal, whatever, insignificant; they were on the contrary, diversified in the extreme. They were everywhere, all space, all the world was filled with new forms. They were nested in the hollows of the least forms. It was like an unknown vegetation that grew around me. Industrial objects without value provoked the appearance of objects temporarily given a great complexity. The position of things triggered new exotic forms, forms that escaped us despite their evidence. Accustomed as we are to trivial geometries, we perceive perfectly the circle, the sphere, the cube or the square, we perceive infinitely less well intervals, the interstices between things, between people.[31]
The above passage highlights another of the central aspects of Virilio's perceptual schema. The geometry that intrigues him is not that of the completed forms, as he notes, but rather of the 'intervals, the interstices' that spawned a plethora of new forms. It is the relationship of objects, and especially objects in movement that, as we have seen with the references to Epicurus, are the fundamentals of this physics or physical geometry. By seeing the articulations of objects each object becomes unique forcing the 'viewer' to see and not just re-see. By seeing the intervals or the spaces we create the commonplace where the objects may appear. That is, the 'intervals' are the duration that 'creates' time for dwelling.
