Unwed Sailor's Little Wars debuted on the CMJ top 200 in position #115, their first week on the chart. Hopefully your local college radio station is playing this record. Thanks to all of the stations and DJs who are giving the album a listen. We're planning to unveil a little beta btv radio player. There are a group of friends who trade records and we want to make some of our finds more public. You should be able to stream audio from a few select releases. I'll post a link once it's ready. :::scott::: Posted by Scott @ 07:31 PM CST Wednesday, March 19, 2008 Unwed Sailor's Little Wars is the instrumental record of the week on nowlikephotographs.com. It's available on their weekly podcast that is available through iTunes and is also streaming on their myspace page, if you'd like to take a listen. Also, Little Wars was the #12 most added release on the CMJ radio charts this week. Listen for it to be played on your local college radio station. :::scott::: Posted by Scott @ 02:27 PM CST Tuesday, March 18, 2008 Unwed Sailor Little Wars cds are in stores today!

I wish I was in Copenhagen to celebrate and play some records. There's a review of Unwed Sailor's Little Wars up on What to Wear During an Orange Alert. The 2xLPs arrived yesterday and we'll start to ship pre-orders very soon, hopefully as early as tomorrow. They look and sound awesome, we're pretty excited about the vinyl version which contains a bonus LP with 2 exclusive tracks, as well as a free digital download. I upgraded my turntable a couple weeks ago and am really excited about playing records again. The cd version hits stores on Tuesday, 18 March, and the band will be hitting the road starting on 27 March for about 3 weeks. I'm off to Chicago and will be seeing The Magnetic Fields at the Old Town School of Folk Music on Friday. :::scott::: Posted by Scott @ 09:27 AM CST Friday, March 7, 2008 There's a review for Foxhole's We the Wintering Tree up on the CMJ website today, as well as a free mp3 download. Just added one more date for the Unwed Sailor tour and the schedule is now complete. Go see them bring the rock. They'll have copies of both Little Wars cd and 2xLPs with them on tour. :::scott::: Posted by Scott @ 03:48 PM CST Tuesday, March 4, 2008 Unwed Sailor Little Wars cds are now for sale in the online store. Unwed Sailor Little Wars 2xLPs are also for sale, but these are pre-orders. I expect the LPs to arrive in about a week and will be sent out to those who pre-order. The 2xLP version is in a thick, deluxe gatefold jacket. It features a bonus LP with 2 additional tacks and a download coupon to get all tracks, including the bonus tracks, as mp3 files. The cd version will be officially released in stores on 18 March and the LP version will be officially released in stores on 29 April. Unwed Sailor tour dates have been updated. Several dates are with Owen (ex-Joan of Arc, Cap 'n Jazz, American Football) and several are with Ryan Lindsey. Ryan will be playing his solo material, but is also a member of the Starlight Mints. In one-sided LP news, Steven R. Smith has submitted the audio for his release and we'll be working on the artwork and release plans soon. By the way, Steven has out an album under his own name called Owl and an album out under the name Ulaan Kohl called I which is the first in a trilogy of releases for Soft Abuse. I've added a few of his releases to the online store. He's also the mastermind behind Hala Strana. Tracks are slowly being completed for Bosque Brown's Baby. More information about that release when it's ready. Artwork is done for Soporus' 24,110 and the audio has been mastered. We're working on the final release date. We're also moving closer to a vinyl version of Foxhole's We the Wintering Tree 2xLP which will feature alternate artwork in a silk-screened gatefold jacket with an etching and a bonus track. Foxhole's We the Wintering Tree cds are officially available in stores today. Starflyer 59 Ghosts of the Future inserts have been printed and vinyl for the last three 7" is expected momentarily. There was some sort of order confusion at the pressing plant and these were somehow postponed. The remaining 4th 7" was delivered in January. The final shipment will happen this month and contain two inserts and the last 4 7". It's super busy around btv headquarters, if you haven't noticed, sorry for the delay in updates. :::scott::: Posted by Scott @ 03:36 PM CST [ Archives ]
