Chapter One

Canal St and the D. H. Holmes Department Store “Music for parties” from “The Sound of Super8” by Kodak. During the “Moorish revolt” at Levy Pants, Toole has Ignatius filming the results to send to Myrna to prove his superiority in organizing the proletariat. This recording was issued on vinyl in the early 1960’s to provide a soundtrack to the silent Super8 home movies. The music has an odd cinematic quality that I believe helps foreshadow the coming events in Ignatius life. Also this is possibly something that may have been bundled with the camera purchased by Ignatius. Ignatius’ consumerism brings us back to his waiting in front of the Holmes department store with his purchases from Werleins Music.
