Also, Doug Burr orders are shipping now!

Hi Folks,

Bad news first...thanks a million to everyone who has preordered the new Doug Burr album O Ye Devastator so far. Unfortunately, there has actually been more than one printing error made during the production of the album. None of it is our fault, but we still have to suffer the consequences. So, just to let you know, everything should be here no later than next week and all of the orders will be shipping ASAP once all the parts arrive. Thanks for being so patient.

On to the good news! We're really pleased to (finally) officially announce that we will be releasing the world's first and only vinyl edition of Starflyer 59's classic album Old in August! August 10 to be exact. As many of you know, that's also the same day as the release of the brand new SF59 album the Changing of the Guard...stayed tuned for more info on how to get both of these new releases as one sweet package deal. The preorder for Old should be up on the catalog page in a couple of days. And on a related note, we have a VERY SMALL number of Old test pressings that are for sale right now until they are gone. If you're interested in such things, feel free to send $40.59 to michaeldwayneadams@gmail.com via paypal and we'll get one out to you right away.  

More good news! husband&wife recently turned in to us the final mixes for their new album Proud Flesh and it is a real rocker! The mastering date is this Sunday. we'll try to give you a preview sometime after that, but until then, you can just dream about how great it's going to be to finally hear this album! Look for an October release date for this one.

Rodeo Ruby Love and Metavari are still on tour, and on opposite ends of the country! try to catch the one that's closest to you if you can, before it's too late!

And one last thing...planning has gotten into full-swing for this year's XRAfest. More info soon, but be prepared to party in September!

Dudes, you gotta check out the catalog page! Starting right now you can preorder both of our brand new summer releases! 

First, Rodeo Ruby Love's new album, This is Why We Don't Have Nice Things (6/29/10) is available for a mere $10! If you didn't catch the album stream at the end of last month, let me tell you what you're missing. This is without a doubt RRL's finest work yet. Recorded in Indianapolis by Wes Deboy (Arrah and the Ferns) and mixed in Kansas by Ed Rose (the Get Up Kids, Appleseed Cast, Kill Creek) "...Nice Things" is the most focussed, punchy, polished, high energy, sing-a-long record that Zack and Co. have made yet. And that's really saying something considering their other records are like the best things ever. Take a listen to "America's Funniest Home Videos" in the player next door if you don't believe me. You have two weeks to preorder and receive a special little gift made just for you by the band!

Second, we're stoked off our nuggets to tell you that you can also now preorder the new LP O Ye Devastator by our friend and Texan Doug Burr, right over there at the "catalog" page. If you don't know Doug's music yet (and you will soon!) a lot of names like Tweedy, Kozelek, Jim James, and Bon Iver get tossed around when people are being introduced to him. All fine comparisons, but believe me, especially on this new record, Doug's definitely got a beautiful brooding melodiousness all his own. If you'd like to see what Doug has to offer before you commit to buying the LP (which also comes with a digital copy of the album) check out this jam packed info page at Spune.com. There's all kinds of music and great looking video over there that i'm confident will make you want to order this thing album as soon as you can!  

That's all the preorder news we have to offer for now, but the summer is just getting started. We'll try to be free with as much info as we can regarding the other new stuff coming down the tube....another Starflyer 59 LP, new husband&wife material, an Alexander the Great 7", AND a Bro. Stephen 7"...we'll see how much of that we can squeeze out before this year is over. I'll bet we can do it all! Help us....buy something!
