Denison Sale, Mount Eerie Vinyl

hatchy

Congratulations to Denison and Jennie who are going to be married tomorrow. In honor of this event, all of Denison’s burnt toast vinyl releases will be on sale, 20% off. Consider it a little honeymoon celebration for yourself in their honor. I’ve been spending a lot of time assembling Mount Eerie : Live in Copenhagen triple LPs this week. Pre-orders will be shipping momentarily. This is one of my personal favorite releases because it is a co-release with my good friend Mikael and his Washington Inc. label in Copenhagen and the artwork is something special. It was originally scanned at a very high resolution and the film we printed from matched that high resolution for a finer print quality. It comes in a triple gatefold jacket with two sprawling 12″ x 36″ images that Phil drew for the cover and inside. All lyrics are written in Danish and English and presented in an LP sized booklet. This time around, the 3xLP includes a coupon for a digital download. :::scott:::

Damien Jurado, mewithoutyou, Unwed Sailor

hatchy

Congratulations to Al and Amy who are engaged to be married later in the fall. We celebrated after catching Damien Jurado play an intimate set in Philadelphia’s Unitarian church chapel. The spot holds somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 people. The first show sold out and a second was added and actually had more people than the first. It’s quite a special event to see a quiet singer/songwriter and actually be able to hear the songs without folks talking loudly over their beers in the middle of the set. Laura Gibson opened and it was an impressive set. Was quite a fan of the singing saw, especially. Damien played solo for a rather long set. Always great to see him play. Unwed Sailor wrapped up their spring tour last night in Tulsa after about 4 weeks of touring. Many thanks to all who came out to see them. Johnathon has started a new band with Bryce from Ester Drang and some other Tulsa friends called Native Lights. Their debut show (at least I think their debut) is on 23 May in Tulsa. I’m wrapping up plans for the mewithoutyou vinyl release of It’s All Crazy! It’s All False! It’s All A…Continue readingDamien Jurado, mewithoutyou, Unwed Sailor

Store and Starflyer 59 Silver Vinyl

hatchy

Apologies to those attempting to order mewithoutyou’s LP last night, there were a couple of kinks in the server configuration that are now ironed out. Our store hadn’t been stress tested quite like that, but we’re set. The btv news feed has also been improved today, so we’re excited about that, too. Our friends in Bloomington, Crossroads of America, have been hard at work to get Starflyer 59’s Silver out on vinyl. We’ve been talking to a lot of folks about getting this out over the last couple of years and they’ve finally pulled the trigger. We’re excited about that. It’s the first appearance on vinyl ever (after 15+ years) and we’re pretty sure it ended up as 180g vinyl,though we’re waiting for final confirmation. It’s been up for order on their site for about a month and is now shipping/has shipped. You can now order from the btv online store and we’ll get them out shortly. :::scott:::
