Lost Sound Tapes says: "Three years in the making, Blanket Truth finally has a full length album!

Exclusive artwork can be found on both formats, both designed by Stacey Hamilton (www.mystace.ca). All the best tracks from the inception of the band have been re-recorded and a bunch of brand new pop-infused baritone ukulele folk songs make up this 30 minute album. This is the 'good stuff'.

Lost Sound Tapes says: "James Rabbit. Santa Cruz, CA. If you aren't familiar, it's time to get familiar! Tyler Martin leads this rowdy pop ensemble that are way too good at their respective instruments. They recall the energy and exuberance of Queen and The Modern Lovers, while adding their own theatrical spin. This is a re-release of two albums "Continental" and "Cavalier", from 2005, that were originally released on CDR and have since sold out.

These tapes come packaged with hand-stamped, pastel-colored covers, and black and white printed labels on baby blue cassette tapes. Hop to!"

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This cassette was released between friends/former housemates/tourmates Watercolor Paintings and Clitorectomy & The Mutilators for a west coast spring '08 tour. No, the Mutes aren't a grindcore band, they're a political, old timey, female-fronted, country-ish band! They refer to it as "riot country". Even better than you are expecting, really!

You might recognize Watercolor Paintings from the compilation, Ukulele & So Can I, or you might recognize them from playing shows in Santa Barbara (or other parts of the country). Endearing songs for fans of Kimya Dawson, Mirah, etc. All the songs were recorded live and they're fantastic! Watercolor Paintings even has a drummer on this release! (don't worry, no Hoshwa's were harmed in the switchover). I was skeptical about releasing a live tape but it works."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "The Wandering Floret is an 8 part project by the prolific Mr. Super PJ Famicom. Prolific just got profilic-er. 8 full albums all released at the same time, that takes dedication. These somber folk-pop songs are the perfect companion to the coming winter. Grab a blanket and hibernate until April.

First pressing of 100 tapes, beige covers with black ink, white tapes, and stamped 'nutmeg' colored labels."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This recording was born on a cold January evening, at a park in Thousand Oaks, CA. In unusual Red Pony Clock form, they performed acoustic because there were no electrical outlets at the park. Their orchestral pop songs sounded just as good or, dare I say, even better acoustically. Listen and believe. Recorded by Hoshwa (5432Fun). Clear pink tapes, handwritten "labels", various color, stamped, construction paper covers with horse shaped hole punches."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "In the makings for over a year, the Bear Hugs "Acoustic Demos" tape has surfaced. Unfortunately the band, hailing from Grand Rapids, MI, has since broken up. Even though Bear Hugs are gone, you can break yourself off a little piece of anthropomorphic pop and add this ditty to your favorite cassette shoebox. Full color covers with a flap containing all the pertinent information, white tapes, and seafoam green, typewritten labels."

Lost Sound Tapes says: This is a re-release of sorts. Side A is the album "Sorry About the Lo-Fi" which was originally self-released by iji as a CDR on Glamour Trip Records (contains covers of The Magnetic Fields, B&S, Beat Happening, and TV Personalities - as well as awesome originals). Side B contains the "best of" Zach's old band Seashells.

Second pressing packaging has the same cover, but this time the tapes are white with black and white printed labels, and the ink on the cover is silver for better visibility. For fans of Saturday Looks Good To Me, Dear Nora, and Fishboy.

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This is my first foray into designing and screen printing shirts. I think they turned out pretty well! Available in a variety of shirt colors, ink colors, and sizes. State your preferences and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

If you would like to save a couple dollars, you may send your own t-shirt / table cloth / pillow case and we will screen it for you and send it back for $3 + shipping. If you send us a bowling ball, shipping will be a little bit extra."

Campus Circle says: "A.M. is a heavy garage punk band, young and forceful with carefree style. Drummer Karin never bothered with a full drum kit, instead making due with a pedal-free bass drum and small smattering of cymbals; words are shouted rather than sung, riffs are dissonant and brutally exerted. But A.M. is likely best known for the clip they generously received in the L.A. Times this August, about the impromptu set they managed outside of the Echo during the Fuck Yeah! Festival, to which they hadn't been invited and from whose sidewalk they were promptly kicked off."

Brainwashed says: "I'm left completely confused listening to this album, trying to keep up with Dustin Krcatovich's wily, random sense of humor and creative, scattershot imagination. Musically, Krcatovich is ubiquitous. One moment his music is the product of exposure to home recordings and pop music and at another it is the product of listening to "Revolution 9" too many times."

Folktale says: "This record will simply blow yor mind. On this record we combined the manic, smog infested folk rambles of Whitman with the spaced-out, naturally grown carols of the mystic princess Alas, Alak, Alaska! Northern and southern California meet on this record in the most beautiful way possible. On this record Whitman turns over a new leaf, producing a clattering whispered folk ballad as well as a skuzzed out pop song. Alas, Alak, Alaska! produces some of her most beautiful work yet, with two songs that drift into one another with a catchy flow as magnificent as a warm, California summer night. Comes on black vinyl with pink labels, with letterpressed covers, and a large fold-out, hand numbered insert. Limited to 300 copies."

Be Happy Records says: "Constantly being compared to Chicago's music style, like bands Cap n' jazz and American Football, Algernon Cadwallader step it up a notch from their incredible 4 song demo with 10 new tracks of catchy, poppy, sing-a-long, punk rock indie jams! Listen closely for lots of new and fun instruments! They have evolved and created their own amazing sound of beauty... "Some kind of Cadwallader" is the perfect soundtrack to a beautiful spring day! Pack your car, roll down the windows, pop in the CD, and have a scream/sing-a-long session with your friends!"

Folktale says: "It is through a series of miracles that this cassette has finally been released.. These are some of Anni Rossi's earliest recordings, done in the practice rooms at the California Institute of the Arts in 2004. This record differs a great deal from her normal work, and even uses very minimal viola. This is basically a lo-fi pop record, done with piano's, guitar, and beats. Anything from keyboard hand-claps, to looped vocals, warm and wonderful, and only after some of the danciest numbers, does this tape mellow out and end with a beautiful recording of the hymn "Day By Day". Comes on transparent yellow cassettes (c-30), packaged in a hard plastic case with a large, full-color, fold out insert, with artwork done by Anni herself. Limited to 99, hand-numbered copies."

Lawrence.com says: "Kelly Waldrop and Marisa Bergquist met each other in the second grade, and have been best friends ever since. Having added new "Besties" on drums and guitar as adults, this Brooklyn foursome has been creating short, saccharine pop tunes that one listener describes as "a polka-dot dress coming to life and playing the keyboards." The band is touring to support its second 7" of twee, girl-fronted organ & guitar rock."

BONUS: Bone-colored vinyl!

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Three years in the making, Blanket Truth finally has a full length album!

First pressing of 500 CDs with full color artwork and 8 page, stapled booklet. Album mastered by Stereophonic, this is truly legit."

Darla says: "8 tracks. Boyracer, unstoppable as ever, and champions of the indie-underworld spew forth a new EP packed with fizzy pop. This 7" single, (their 17th 7" release if you were counting), is a DOUBLE GROOVED single, (the song you get is depends on where the needle drops). The EP contains 4 fast noisy songs and 4 acoustic 4-track home recordings, including Boyracer’s take on The Softies “Its Love”. Limited to 500 copies worldwide."

555 Recs says: "It had to happen at some point, a split with our much respected lofi transatlantic cousins. 3 tracks each, all exclusive, and very cheeky label artwork that may just get us into trouble at some point. Racer songs are brisk and bright, Beatniks lead song "Exs and Zeros" is sincerly one of their best in a back catalogue of impressive calibre. 250 copies."

Darla says: "Both Beatnik Filmstars and Boyracer have a prolific and respected back catalogue, as this soon-to-be-much-sought-after EP testifies. Cheeky label art and hand screened sleeve. All tracks exclusive. Limited 250 copies USA. BEATNIK FLIMSTARS exes and zeros / wheres yr horse gone / pig sick / BOYRACER a rockabilly ruse / goals / sentiment."

Brittle Records says: "Boyracer. Mytty Archer. !!!!!!!!!! Split 7in. Boyracer's 19th offering on small vinyl. Mytty Archer's 1st offering ever. Co-release from Brittle and 555 Records and available there as well as here. The Boyracer songs are awesome and.... yeah, the search for something new to say about Boyracer. He's a cowboy. A Cowpunk. Mytty Archer is Jen Turrell's band and it's awesome old styled pop. Fast, fun, and seriously sing-a-long-able. 4 songs in less than 5 minutes. Two new ones from the Racer. Silk screened covers, hand numbered. Only 300 made."

555 Recs says: "Split release with Jellyfant records of Germany. 300 pressed. All exclusive tracks, fantastic songs and stunning sleeve design by David Nichols. (European orders can contact jellyfant.de)"

555 Recs says: "3 of my favourite ever Boyracer tracks, and 2 breathtaking Que Possum tracks. With a frigging glow-in-the-dark record sleeve too. C'mon people! For those who have yet to experience QP they are sort of like an upbeat lo-fi Unrest. Theres an mp3 at myspace.com/555recordingsofflagstaffaz CHECK!"

CD Baby says: "In 2005, after moving to Portland,OR, he set out to make his fullest, most elaborate album to date, The Dying Sea. In his first official release, he layers quavering vocals, subtle lyrics, soft beats and rumbling keyboards to create an atmosphere utterly unique yet approachable. Between the clean, simple riffs and lilting melody of "towne breathe" to the distorted guitar groans of "what you say", the album is an excellent display of Fiterre's recording fluency.

Cartoon Monster's "The Dying Sea" embodies the experimental spirit of today's independent music while embracing the wholesomeness of early folk music."

Folktale says: "Charlie Mcalister offers up a fresh batch of manic folk songs dredged up from the marsh lands of South Carolina, while Rollin Hunt on the other hand entices you to enter his dream world, but as enchanting as that is, it will probably come much more like some kind of nightmare. This cassette is catchy and fun, at the same time that it's bizarre and terrifying. But this match couldn't be more perfect, and may just leave you staring at your stereo wondering what hit you. Did that asteroid scheduled to hit earth in 2012 arrive early and cause the magnetic fields to reverse all too soon? Are we ready for this? Comes on pink cassettes, in standard cases with full color J-cards and two inserts."

Chocolate Bobka says: "I don't know much about Dirt Dress except the following: they rock. They probably know it too, as their slo-mo blend of blues and garage rock is a self-conscious reinvention of what all the psych-garage revivalists have been trying to sound like for years, except instead of getting all snide and hipster'd out, Dirt Dress just sound like a band playing shitty blues in a garage. Their singer could be the millenial love child of Eric Burden and Eddie Argos. Loose, jangly and untouched by work nor duty, Dirt Dress seems to exist solely to kick out the jams (and yes, they sort of remind me of the MC5). They aren't afraid of tackling a meandering fuzz jam ("Peter and The Wolf" clocks in at 11: 40) or talking about bleach blonde girls in cut off jeans ("Iguana"), both of which conjure visions of ramshackle teenage rock and roll, like if Buddy Holly were hanging with Lou Reed while he was waiting for his man"

Myspace says: "Over the years, Michelle has become increasingly outraged by women’s role in music, especially in the rock community. Hence, she set out to try and change the perception that they cannot deliver anything other than a transparent love song with one guitar and her voice. Though Michelle’s background is rooted in Central New Jersey’s punk rock community, everyone except me’s music is almost entirely acoustic and very anarcho-folk oriented. EEM plays shows and open mics, but plays most often on Philadelphia street corners. Everyone except me is willing to play anywhere at anytime for little or no pay (I will play your living room, basement, attic, backyard, that little room you've got underneath the stairs, under a bridge, behind a dumpster, in your car, on your favorite steet corner, or wherever), just for the love of music."

Razorcake says: "Imagine the broke-down, fun-time, intense-stare pop of the Bananas mixed with the conviction and drive of Crass. Blend it without pretense, have the fun mix with serious until it’s a solid sound, and you get the idea behind God Equals Genocide. It’s not charred remains on barbed wire life suckage. It’s not a pre-teen pajama party. It’s DIY punk music for folks who dig Allergic to Bullshit, Ambition Mission, and aren’t scared to face a bad world right in the eyes while dancing a little dance. November's 7" of the month. (Razorcake Records #4/Griznar)"

NOTE: Members of Pangea and Harvest Moon Society

Razorcake says: "Life of Doubt is God Equals Genocide’s second release and it’s a natural progression from their This World Is Wearin’ Me Down 7”EP (also released by Razorcake). Think of the cheerful intensity of the Bananas mixed with the good-natured troublemaking and restlessness of Allergic To Bullshit and This Bike Is A Pipebomb, and you’re in the right spot. Other comparisons thrown around are Bikini Kill, Crass, Dead Milkmen, and Blatz. Razorcake is stoked to be co-releasing this record with Dirt Cult Records out of Las Cruces, New Mexico. (Razorcake Records #07)"

Pop Monster says: "An aural kaleidoscope. The EP is over and replaying before you even realized you've pressed that eastbound isoceles. And meanwhile you've just experienced something like a hot bath with a cold shower running: like fried ice cream, but better. If you're a fan of music, you'll love this album."

Casey's House says: "One time pressing of 300 green marble vinyl records. All come with a full color, hand numbered cover."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "6 brand new tracks from the iji 'dudes' that sound just the way they should. While listening to this EP you would never guess that the tropical (at very least, coastal) pop vibes were emanating from the landlocked state of Arizona. This is iji's first release on vinyl and let's all hope it's not the last! Don't snooze on this one."

Pop Monster says: "Pretty sounds from two beardos. Great for small rooms with carpet or hardwood floors. Feels like a misty light blue with swirls of green and grey. Wear socks and headphones and sing along the first listen, and make sure you have an audience. They'll herald you as the most amazing person they know."

Stress Domain says: "Straight from the heart of the Griznar Music Collective, Pangea and Harvest Moon Society each bring you two songs of pure unadulterated grizness. From soft and sweet love songs to man-eating cats, you will be dancing the moment your needle hits this piece of curiously unholy vinyl."

BONUS: Clear orange vinyl! Limited to 300 copies.

Sanitary Records says: "Cassingle Series #4. Tracks: Ghostlight/We Were
The Quiet Bears are all action and no-talk. Johnnie and Bambi live in Iowa and record in a spare room, combining understated guitar and texture with ethereal lyrics. Both songs are slow and deliberate. red cassettes with blue block printing. sleeves are hand-drawn by quiet bears."

NOTE - We have all sorts of cover designs, from guitars to brown bears. Killer!

Oh! Map says: "Shelby is an amazingly spirited and talented young woman who records folk-pop songs on a four track recorder in her bedroom with her guitar, keyboards, banjo, and melodica. Her songs reflect her overall upbeat nature with subject matter such as how much beautiful the world is, imaginary prostitutes, cups of coffee, and planting trees."

Now Hereness says: "Four songs about Spring on a white cd-r inside an arigato pak with pasted on artwork. Mini-poster insert inside. Pictures of cute kittens from local newspaper not included."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This is part of the seasonal splits series that I curated. You can buy the whole 4 season/8 band boxset, above for $10. Click here. used to be able to buy these, but now they're gone. Hopefully we will make more in the future."

Folktale says: "Kelly is one hell of a song writer, and has been kind enough to let us release this fine collection of audios. This a fantastic collection of catchy, punk/pop songs, and you will probably find yourself driving fast with the windows down, and singing along at the top of your lungs to. It's sort of nestalgic really, plus it's a cassette, so that joyride might just take you by your old high school and leave you feeling pretty bad-ass. Comes on white tapes (C-17) housed in white cardboard boxes, screened in gold ink with artwork done by Jad Fair (of Half Japanese), with an insert. First edition of 50 copies."

Workaholics on Holiday says: "The first american (well, the first non-danish) band to grace the w-o-h! catalog is the Up Set - usually a solo outfit for K.B. Blankson, but here, he's accompanied by a backing band. Compared to previous stellar lo-fi/twee releases from K.B., this pro-printed cd-r is a pleasantly surprising upgrade - to charming, amped up indie pop/rock. Let's make a connection with the dancefloor! (comes with a 1" button.)

Songs: 1. a melody for melanie / 2. i'll be seeing you / 3. my present absence / 4. hurry up and wait / 5. i'm not pulling your leg / 6. couldn't lose our youth"

NOTE: CDR limited to 100 copies.

I Rock Cleveland says: "While the touchstones for the music of Vivian Girls may be common in indie rock these days: a little bit of shoegaze, some Sixties girl group sounds, lo-fi garage rock, and a pinch of punk, it's done with such honesty, and such playfulness, that much like Crumsho, I find myself smitten with this band.

This sense of playfulness carries over to the first video from their self titled debut, "Tell the World." Part Scooby-Doo creature caper, and part bonfire drug party, set to the irresistible sounds of those trebly guitars, rickety drums and three part harmonies, it's campy, catchy and sweet. Again, what's not to like?"

Note: First pressing on black vinyl

Sanitary Records says: "Cassingle Series #2. Tracks: A Commander in a Battlefield / Being a Child is Part of the Earth.
Two beautiful bedroom hymns, full of texture and so much love. Yellow block-printed cassettes. The first 50 were packaged in hand-sewn felt sleeves. The last 50 are packaged in red printed cloth bags."

NOTE - We have the red printed cloth bag version for sale.
