GRAPEFRUIT RECORD CLUB

Is  a new, subscription-only record label from Simon Joyner and Ben Goldberg (Ba Da Bing! records). The first year subscription is on sale now (with staggered-payment options, half subscriptions and gift subscriptions available) until Valentines Day 2011. As you'd expect from Simon Joyner it's a considered and sincere project done with utmost care and integrity. Quite simply, they just tried to figure out the best (and most sustainable) way to release records by bands and artists they truly care about. All of this is better put on their website which you should visit immediately and thus solve any Christmas present dilemmas you may have been experiencing.

A first year subscribtion entitles you to four exclusive LP's and a handsome box to house them in which only leaves you to decide where to file the records in your collection (if you're operating an alphabetical system). The participating artists are LAMBCHOP (the Grapefruit disc compiles recordings from Kurt Wagner's first two home-recorded cassettes), Richard Youngs (one of the most prolific, compelling and genuinely experimental musicians/songwriters for the last 20 years), L. Eugene Methe (Legendary Omaha songwriter/experimentalist) and 200 Years (the new collaboration between Ben Chasny of Six Organs Of Admittance and Elisa Ambrogio of Magik Markers). The amount of records pressed will be equal to the number of subscribers which means the only way to get ahold of these amazing records will be to SUBSCRIBE.

TY SEGALL


















has released about 10 of our favourite records of this millennium on some of the best record labels around----John Dwyer's CASTLE FACE, Nodzzz' MAKE-A-MESS, Kill Shaman, Wizard Mountain, Trouble In Mind and GONER.
He also had a brief stint playing the drums in SIC ALPS who along with John Dwyer of the Oh Sees contributed to his most-recent and best lp 'MELTED'. He also used to play in the Traditional Fools and Epsilons with Mikal Cronin. Somehow he found time to record/engineer the last brilliant colors record too. And he's only 23 years old.



Check out this video, directed by Mike Donovan of SIC ALPS :


or this live clip form RVCA San Francisco:



And then come to the Deaf Institute tonight to see him play. Former Bullies, Milk Maid and Waiters are also playing, it's going to be a party.

winebox09 - Tom Settle 'Dried Plumes' C38

 The winebox press have been making limited editions of no-limits music on cassette tape for a while now. The run of each tape is dictated by the object its 'packaging' is comprised of. Winebox09 is made from a door and each of the 26 copies are hand-painted by Lucy Jones. Tom Settle has played/plays in some of our very favourite bands: Serfs, Former Bullies, Dinner Party, Beach Fuzz and every last drop of his  musical sensitivity and sensibilities is captured on this tape. We seriously cannot recommend this enough.

"The fifth artist whom

 a beautiful woman record recommends it to with confidence from what and U.K., Manchester!If think it to be ... smelling of JESUSANDMERYCHAIN; after all!でした. But the problem that don't lie down that it doesn't model comes, and it isn't 思 うほどですので, a mere follower and imitator to start it from a label of oneself. Feel of a material that is low-fidelity, melody that are loss of strength / dreamy and ノコギ"
