Foxhole is the band of the week on the What to Wear During an Orange Alert blog. There’s also a short interview with Foxhole. Foxhole is tentatively planning a short tour at the beginning of May that should loop down through the south from their Bowling Green/Nashville base. Test pressings for Unwed Sailor’s Little Wars are good and the vinyl should be on track for their touring efforts in late March/April. The vinyl is a 2xLP with 2 additional tracks as the second LP. This will also come with a digital download certificate good for a free mp3 download of all tracks on the vinyl version. Emperor X is planning some dates in late February and throughout the spring to support The Blythe Archives Volume One and preview some material from the other Blythe Archives. Dr. Randall Stephens (of Jetenderpaul fame) has his first book out from the Harvard University Press. The book is based on his doctoral thesis and explores the history of Pentacostalism and the Holiness movement in the United States and their affect on American culture. He’s a history professor in Boston at the moment and there are still plans for recording more Jetenderpaul material. :::scott:::

I was Willi$’ assistant while he was silk-screening some more of the Starflyer 59 7″ inserts. At this point, over 2/3 have been silk-screened and are ready to be letterpressed. We’re right on track to have these finished off in time for the February shipment. Unwed Sailor are planning some significant touring from March to June, including a west coast jaunt in May/June. There are also European touring plans in the works as well. Yndi Halda are solidifying plans to tour the U.S. and Canada in August 2008. They’ve also been working on some new songs for their follow up album. I posted some images for our late Winter/Spring releases on new splashpages. We’ve scheduled Emperor X : The Blythe Archives Volume One one-sided LP, Foxhole : We the Wintering Tree cd, and Unwed Sailor : Little Wars cd and 2xLP so far. I should have some more details on the Soporus 24,110 artwork soon, as well as a more solid release date. :::scott:::

Happy New Year! The third shipment of the Starflyer 59 Ghosts of the Future 7″ box set has been sent to all subscribers. These should be arriving shortly. I’ve gotten a few e-mails so far asking, but this shipment should have 2 7″ (numbers 5 and 8) and the box. It was supposed to have 3 7″, but due to a pressing schedule error, the 3rd 7″ was bumped from the schedule and scheduled to run after the plant’s holiday shutdown. I started to ship what was available prior to the holidays. The final shipment will have the remaining 4 7″ and special inserts. It should be going out in early February in time for Valentine’s Day. Again, the first 100 subscribers will be getting autographed inserts and we haven’t forgotten the promise. Promotion is under way for Foxhole We the Wintering Tree. The cd has a retail release date of 4 March and is available in the online store. This is one of our favorite instrumental full-lengths. Unwed Sailor’s Little Wars is at the factory being pressed. The retail release date for the cd will be 18 March and the LP will follow soon after. We’re expecting vinyl test…Continue reading
