UPDATES::
- ..just got home from finishing up a new Scout Niblett record for Drag City,, 'tis killer..
- ..Grails' Black Tar Vol. 5 mixes are being cleaned up for mastering in the coming week..
- ..Holy Sons' Warm Coals Expanded ('94 to '04) is being mastered currently...
- ..The new Om record comes out 8 days from now on Drag City,, east coast tour dates have been announced..
- ..Lilacs & Champagne now has 2 different bodies of work we're trying to suss out for Mexi Summer..
- ..The original Decline of the West Vinyl repress will be available in a couple months,, 200 copies... as you can see by the image above its the original tracklist that includes the Sebadoh cover & not the expanded edition..
- ..Decline Vol.II in a nutshell::: ...as we've got a lot of Om touring in front of us and Grails is now going to Australia in October,,, HolySons touring has been delayed for a bit which temporarily grounds Decline Vol.II ... as we roll towards 2013, I'm putting aside all the old 4-track stuff that wasn't included on the Expanded Warm Coals for a vinyl release next year... my instincts are telling me to break off some of the oldest Decline Vol.II stuff for this vinyl release & separate all the newest material into a 'new' record... that potentially renders the title "Decline Vol.II" meaningless... but because most of this stuff ends up being ruled by the politics of money and deadlines, we'll just have to wait and see what concrete options appear to house all of this material... as of right now//high on whiskeys,, it makes more sense to compartmentalize older stuff to the vinyl comp. for next year & then permutate a 'new' holysons record by grouping all the newest high-fi songs together (boil it down is a good example,,, see: http://youtu.be/KYP2CpwOj70 ).... meanwhile it looks like both L&C releases and the Scout record will all be hitting then too >>> that makes 2012 = 5 releases,, 2013 = 4 so far ... excellent 10-4!
