Yup, Even MORE Distro 0

Just to get your ding-a-ling shuffling, here’s a sample track video made by our pals at Compost Modern Art Recordings for the upcoming STUFFS! compilation that we’ll be getting in. Lots of KS bands are on there, so it’s super cool. This one, however, is really important because it was done by THE DICTAPHONE!!! And this song is actually an alternate version of a song from the upcoming LP THE DICTAPHONE “THE DICTAPHONE” that will be available for purchase THURSDAY, AUGUST 5th in our store. Fuck yeah. Check it out:

Even more stuff made its way into the distro store. Check out these tittles from Enfant Terrible, Rococo, and AVANT!. Lots of imported and super limited shit:

Oh No! Distro SPAM TIME!!!!!! 0

So yeah, the title says we got a lot of new distro in. That’s because we did. We got tons of stuff from Red Lounge Records in Germany and few things from Goodbye Boozy Records in Italy. Still waiting on a large order from Enfant Terrible in the Netherlands and some new stuff from Rococo in Chicago. I’ll update the list here when them bad boys come in.

I also had fucked up our store for a loooonnnngggg time, so lots of items (around 30 of ‘em) weren’t showing up in the giant list. So I had to break stuff into categories, and now you can access a bunch of badass records that no one could by on our site before. I though they just weren’t selling and was really confused by it because some are really badass. It’s mostly stuff at the end of the alphabet, like “t” and beyond. So that includes lots of comps that start with “V/A”. I think a good amount of them are sold out elsewhere… shit, this stupid site was broken for too long. Anyhow, fixed. Prepare to purchase.

Hmm, what else is going on? Oh yeah! THE DICTAPHONE LP WILL BE DONE VERY SHORTLY!!! That’s right. I’ll post a proper date this week, but it’s coming fast. Onto the distro:

  1. The Turn It Offs “Too Much Static” LP – If I told you they sound like a mix between the Boston Chinks, Lover! and the Oblivians, would that get your mouth watering?
  2. Cococoma “Spectrum of Sounds” LP – Brilliant LP of sold out 7″s, unreleased stuff and liver performances. Awesome gatefold packaging too.
  3. Occult Detective Club “Tortures” LP – Members of Maaster Gaiden take on a 1/3 Marked Men, 2/3 Hex Dispensers sound.
  4. Red Mass “S/T” 10″ – Awesome gatefold 10″ from former CPC Gangbangs psych pop band
  5. Wooden Tit “Sechs Lieder” 10″ – Sweet 10″ from Bassholes blues-punk master, Don Howland
  6. Snake Flower 2 “Biker Psych” 7″ – Awesome psych 7″ from SF’s Snake Flower 2
  7. Black Bug “Television Screen” 7″ – Amazing Swedish synth-punk. Really good.
  8. Lover! “Lets Play a Game B/W Salt Water Surprise” 7″ – Great 7″ from former Lost Sounds and Reatards member.
  9. Monks “Pretty Suzanne (Fuzz Version) B/W Monk Time” 7″ – That’s right. The MONKS! Perfect and unreleased 7″ of pure fuzz.
  10. Primitive Hands “Burn your Dreams” 7″ – Great psych rock pop from a member of Demon’s Claws. From Italy and super limited.
  11. Broke Down Engine “Walk of Shame” 7″ – Demon’s Claws side project featuring Pat Meteor!
  12. Mikal Cronin “Gone B/W Give it to Me” 7″- New 7″ by  Mikal Cronin (Ty and Mkal LP, Okie Dokie, Moonhearts, etc). Troggs cover on the b-side!

Plus, we added a “Stuff” section in the store where you can pick up some T’s we had left over, some posters, and some pins. Found a bunch of this stuff from various old yours and what not, so it’s all pretty cool.

Thanks,

Crabby Levine
