I’ve finally re-ordered Burnt Toast Vinyl t-shirts in both black and red in sizes small through extra large. They should be ready next week or so. The new website that is being designed has red as one of the main colors, so I thought new shirts should mimic that scheme. I am also sending the master and artwork for Ester Drang’s Goldenwest cd to Gentlemen Records in Switzerland who will be issuing the album for release in Europe. So, the release should be more easily available in Europe once the cds are pressed by Gentlemen. By the way, Unwed Sailor is touring in Europe with a band from Gentlemen Records, Toboggan. I keep following the Dodgers’ race for the wild-card bid in the National League. There is still hope, but time is slowly running out. :::scott:::
Year: 2002
Lots of new distributed titles added to the on-line store. Be sure to visit. The new Low album ships out next week, so be sure to order and get yours as soon as you can. Dates for The Trouble with Sweeney and Denison Witmer have also been updated. A few shows have been added, a couple of venues have changed, and at least one date shifted for a show with the Sweeneys. Make sure you see them both this autumn. The post office is being kind to me this week. The 4 songs for Ester Drang’s one-sided LP arrived today. This will definitely be out by year’s end if we can get the artwork complete. The band has been working hard. Also, I received Lost Joy by Camden Joy from TNI Books. It will be added to the on-line store shortly and is apparently a collection of short stories, many music related. If his Little Engines contributions have been a good sign of what is in this book, then it should make for a solid read. Under peer pressure, I gave in and pre-ordered David Eggers’ next book. It’s being sold exclusively on-line and through select independent booksellers to raise…
The site has been updated to have information on all of our newest releases. Denison Witmer’s Philadelphia Songs cd version has been added to the on-line store. I knew it was a glorious afternoon, in spite of the overcast sky, when I arrived home and found the long-awaited package from Norway filled with vinyl treats. I carefully placed the new White Trash Inc. (Orchestra) 7″ Pet Cats Get 2000 Credits on the turntable. The A side consists of a live show from late summer 2001 in two segments “If You’re Not on my Called ID I Don’t Want to Talk To You” and “Corporate Conglomerates are the Root of All Evil” (featuring Orlando Greenhill on screamy “spray-opera” vocals), the reverse side being “The Dynamic of Film (Silver Screen Remix)” which was remixed by Matthew Chinn of Frolic (Projekt Records). Also in the package was Soul Junk’s 1939 7″, another special treat from Norway. Oh glorious noise! The on-line store will be the only place to get these in the US for a while… Denison and The Trouble with Sweeney have two more shows together this week before parting ways to continue on their on separate tours. Denison now has the…
