Today, 16 December, at midnight is the cutoff for new orders to be shipped by media mail for 2005. If you add priority mail to your order, these orders will be shipped on or before 21 December to arrive by the 24th. Otherwise, regular orders will not be processed and sent until the beginning of 2006. There have been a lot of orders this month and some of the titles in the catalog that are normally readily available are not in stock. Holiday shipments are only 100% guaranteed for btv titles, though many other titles are in stock. Also keep in mind that the Saxon Shore The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore LPs are not yet ready. But!! we have good test pressings finally and the gatefold covers are arriving next week provided the airline doesn’t lose them again. Thanks to everyone who came out to the Mesh Print magazine launch party at Mo Pitkins in NYC last night to see Saxon Shore rock out. It was great to see everyone. See you at sunnO))) tonight. :::scott:::

Did you download the first part of the btv holiday podcast yet? Part two should be up later tonight or tomorrow morning. There are two versions, a high quality AAC for the iTunes savvy, and a low quality mp3 version for the quickdownload crowd. Isn’t podcast a weird term to use in conversation? I’ll see you for the rock in NYC tomorrow when Saxon Shore brings it home at Mo Pitkins. Who’s going to see sunn0))) in the Unitarian Sanctuary on Friday night? Ethan and I will see you there (Adam, Mike, Willi$, Matthew,…????). :::scott:::

It’s about an hour long and there is a larger, higher quality format and a smaller, lower quality format. It’s a little experiment to see if we’ll keep it up for the long haul. There is a part 2 ready to go and it will be put up later in the week. I had a link to this video from Norwegian rockers Hurra Torpedo up yesterday and took it down. I’m sorry Ben. Matt Neff (and Allison), it’s now here for you. Unwed Sailor have finished their big autumn tour. Thanks to everyone who came out for the rock. In the interest of capitalism in the holiday season, I am reducing the price of The Marionette and the Music Box hardbound book with cd because it is fitting for the season and makes a fine present. Production for their forthcoming full-length and ep will begin this week. They’re planning a March 2006 tour (with Matt Putman and Matt Depper back in full effect) and will hit Europe in the summer. Saxon Shore will be playing a…Continue reading
