Career

From 2009 to 2014, Daley was employed at Boo-Hooray as an archivist and ops manager solely engaged in counterculture and political movements. During his time at Boo-Hooray, he facilitated the sale of culture collections to institutions such as Yale's Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Cornell's Rare & Manuscript Collections, Columbia's Rare Book & Manuscript Library, University of Miami's Special Collections, and Georgetown's Lauinger Library.[2]

One of Daley's first works was That's Life: The O.L. Jaggers Story (Boo-Hooray, 2011) a short biographical pamphlet which talked about the legal struggles of a cult L.A. preacher once famed for his UFO-themed sermons. Daley has also worked as an editor for books like The Flying Saucers Are Real! (Anthology Editions, 2016)[3] The Situationist Times facsimile edition (Boo-Hooray, 2012),[4] and Houston Rap Tapes (Sinecure Books, 2013).[5] Other than that, he has also curated exhibitions on William S. Burroughs,[6] Ed Wood,[7] private press vinyl,[8] science-fiction zines,[9] and Civil War photography in cities like New York City, Paris, London, and Montreal.[10]

Bobby BlueJacket: The Tribe, The Joint, The Tulsa Underworld

In 2018, Daley's book Bobby BlueJacket: The Tribe, The Joint, The Tulsa Underworld was published. The book is a biography of a Native American safecracker. Daley researched and wrote BlueJacket over a period of six years.[11] Ron Padgett, an award-winning author and poet regarded the book as a "fascinating and richly detailed biography and an intimate portrait of complex emotional and intellectual life." Jack Womack, a Philip K. Dick awardee described BlueJacket as: "Insightful, angry, straightforward, reminiscent of the subterranean classic You Can't Win by Jack Black." Daley's BlueJacket has been featured in Los Angeles Review of Books,[12] Tulsa World,[13] Weird History,[14] Bustle,[15] This Land Press,[16] and Public Radio Tulsa/NPR.[17] The book was nominated for best non-fiction work for the 30th annual Oklahoma Book Awards.[18]

Daley also co-authored and edited Enjoy The Experience: Homemade Records 1958–1992 (Sinecure Books, 2013),[19] which was featured in BBC,[20] Vice,[1] and was called "the greatest music book of the year" by Los Angeles Magazine.[21]
