Lost Sound Tapes: "Math The Band is a force to be reckoned with! Poppy, fun, dance tunes with lots and lots of analog synthesizer. Not to mention more BPM than any rational person would actually need. This duo puts on one of the most fun live shows this side of the Milky Way galaxy. This album takes a slightly more aggressive turn from their previous Atom And His Package-esque recordings and they are all the better for it. Think Andrew WK but cuter and just as much fun.

First run of 200 baby blue cassette tapes with handstamped and printed kraft paper covers."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Here we have the third full length album entitled 'White Flag' from Athens, GA native, Madeline Adams, known by most as simply 'Madeline'. Her songs are hauntingly beautiful with personal lyrics and a stunning voice. 'White Flag' is the culmination of three years of hard work from Madeline while she enlisted many of her fellow Athens-based musicians including members of the Elephant 6 Collective. The CD version of the album is available from Orange Twin Records.

First pressing of 100 copies with clear orange tapes, printed labels, and hand sewn, full color, stamped covers."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Cave Babies is the solo project of Mr Josh 'Hoshwa' Redman. One half of the brother/sister duo Watercolor Paintings, Hoshwa creates surprisingly delicate, yet fun, pop songs. These songs are about crushes and being crushed, truly honest and pure feelings. Chord organ, horns, and ukulele have never sounded as well as they do on this tape. It's been awhile in the making and Lost Sound Tapes is very glad to present this tape to you, it's a very special album.

First 25 or so copies get a free patch of Hoshwa printed by Rebecca Redman."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Remember the perfect pop of the Canadian group, The Diskettes? Well, David Barclay is back with a new group of friends and swapped his acoustic guitar for a keyboard. Add two parts tropical percussion and you've got a delicious pop stew goin'. 'Donald Fagen Mix Tape' is a follow-up to the appropriately titled 'No Beach Out of Reach' album by The Endless Bummer. Side A of the DFMT contains 4 brand new tracks and 5 hits from 'No Beach...'. Barclay writes incredibly witty & endearing lyrics and these harmonies are sweet enough to make even Brian Wilson proud. Side B contains underwater field recordings - recorded and compiled by David Barclay, himself.

First pressing of 100, solid blue tapes, with hand stamped labels, and full color collage-style covers. Engelbert Humperdinck's face makes a nice appearance."

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: "Not a single album, but a double album! Part one: Salad is a new set of tight, upbeat, fun songs. Part two: Soup is an epic side of experimental pop interspersed with stories about melon. Just the right amount of distortion and an extra helping of female backing vocals this time.

First pressing of 100 copies. Soup-and-Salad-colored labels, on solid white cassettes with full color covers designed by Zach Burba."

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 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.

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."

Indie Pages says: "As the title hints, this is a collection of home-recordings from the last few years from this Australian fellow. Some of his older songs on the first side remind me of the Marbles, except for his oldest one, "Cold Locked Cupboards", which is more in the quiet, acoustic Elliott Smith vein. His three songs from this year, however, are a lot closer to Grandaddy in their slower moments (especially the hushed vocals), with "Surely Enough" being a dead ringer (complete with cascading synth noises)."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Three years in the making, Blanket Truth finally has a full length album! Released on cassette and compact disc, the music contained on the two formats are completely different recordings, with an exclusive track on each. The CD is a full band, digital 8-track recording by Tory Fiterre of Cartoon Monster and the tape is a solo, boombox recording. 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'.

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!"

Folktale says: "Good things come to those who wait. This here is a long awaited follow up to Brother Mitya’s 2005 CDR “Melting Wax Daisies…”. It’s a collection of nine songs that were literally saved from the wreckage of a house fire that destroyed his home in Arcata, Ca. in February of 2008. The songs themselves are delicate and sound like they could break at any given moment. On this release he has a bit more direct and less raspy vocal delivery, a lot of times making the songs more catchy but at the same time not abandoning his incredibly unique vocal stylings either. Classical guitar with whispered lyrics, occasional accompaniment, and various sound collages, all soaked in a layer of warm, lo-fi hiss. Black cassettes with printed labels and color covers designed by Kristina Collantes with an insert that was saved from the flames."

Stankhouse says: "Stankhouse Records' 5th release-the 7"s for the now defunct Athens pop-punkers Carrie Nations are out now! One side features previously unreleased material, the other, a remastered edition of songs released on a split with This Bike is a Pipe Bomb. Real stoked."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Black vinyl, hand numbered out of 500 copies."

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."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This is one of the most appropriate album titles I've heard in quite some time. The Endless Bummer goes electronic, adds some funky beats, yet still conveys the same fun, positive, and quasi-educational vibe. It contains some re-recorded tracks from their previous two releases as well as some brand new tracks. 7 songs in all. A brilliant EP."

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."

Rigor Mortis Shuffle says:
"songs from the coasts:
- Boston's Matthew Czerwinski
- Alaska-era fire island, AK
results are heart-breaking in 46 minutes.
full-color photographic insert with green cassette."

The Bat And The Bird says: "for the agenda makes music for inquisitive spirits, those who have spent enough nights staring at the bottom of a bottle to know sometimes 'there just needs to be a human voice. it doesn't matter what you say.' the kind of person that might dedicate their free time to imagining up oddities like the 'vampire octopus' (or better yet, seeking them out) or laugh at the thought of an apocalyptic war against the animal kingdom..."

For The Agenda says: "The second For the Agenda full length! This time its bigger, krautier, and more distorted with songs about crashing bikes, cave painters, and wooden puppets just to name a few. (100 made)"

Lost Sound Tapes says: "For The Agenda is on the (upcoming) Ukulele, Mekulele, Wekulele compilation! Their track is from this tape, you should probably buy it."

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)"

Fox Pop says: "Hey friends! Come on in, take a seat, make your self at home! Let me get you guys some hot coco, we've got some big news to share! There's a new e6 related tape out on foxpop! The High Water Marks where kind enough to let us release their Arivar Sullimer ep. A three song tape featuring a 16 min, noise, fuzz, track."

Bridgetown Records says: "This local group of 4 girls and 3 guys return with 8 brilliantly catchy indie pop songs using a wide array of instruments and sweet female vocal harmonies. Beautiful, complex and immediately familiar. Limited to 50 high bias cassettes with full-color labels and art designed by Megan Mock of Megamoog."

Land Of Ill Earthquakes says: "New stuff? For the most part. 'Run and Hide' appears on the 7 inch that Sandbox Tree put out and 'Bomb, Drop on Me' appears on the tape that Pop Monster put out. But I'm sure most of you don't even have those two releases, right? So it's all basically new. New pop for the new millenium!"

Indie Pages says: "Lil' Hospital go from a nice bedroom pop project to a good pop band to a veritable indiepop powerhouse, only to have them break up right at their prime. And we only get a measly 5-song EP on the way out! Lil' Hospital have improved in every way: Kevin's songs and playing are both better, and the band (now a trio, rounded out by Mat Specific Heats and Frank Besties) are tighter and punchier than ever."

Indie Pages says: "Wow, Mike sure has come a long way from the Mathlete records from a couple years ago. Heck, I'd even say this sounds better than the cd he just put out! This five song ep has a more natural sound, with acoustic based songs, augmented with clean electric guitar, organ (and I don't mean a Casio), and tambourines and other assorted percussion."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "This is one of the best bedroom folk pop EPs of all time! Buy this, it's a classic. Mike Downey also used to be in the band WOLFIE. 'The Light, The Heat' has a chorus about the movie 'Say Anything'. What are you waiting for??"

Obeast Tapes says: "Nicole Kidman is Jon Barba of Ports o Call fame. The dude has been a huge boon to the burgeoning West Covina underground music scene booking many shows at his home, and releasing music zines and mixtapes to a pretty broad audience. Nicole Kidman is his venture into the world of weirdo-folk, 90s emo rock, and partly demented but wholly compelling song writing. Those who know Jon will understand what I mean when i say this tape is Miley-Centric, those who don’t will surely figure it out with one listen. But dont stop at one listen, his songs are catchy and inspiring. He lifts you up by dragging himself down. Like jesus, we all owe him some serious playthroughs. Comes with full color art on a double-sided jcard with full lyric inserts and free album downloads. Ltd to 50."

Folktale says: "This cassette is probably one of the finest things we’ve released to date. Picture this, a young man standing behind his Casio keyboard, his face covered with an elephant mask constructed out of cardboard and duck tape. His hands are shaking as he starts to play a simply melody, you start to nod your head a little and then a beat drops accompanied by a shaky voice and you’re whole body becomes covered in goose bumps. His songs are nostalgic, sad, and brutally straight from the heart. It’s like being 16 again and sitting in your room listening to cassettes after you got sent away from the dinner tape. The songs cover the age old topics of life, love, and depression in a way that hits incredibly close to home. This is a collection of 9 brilliantly constructed pop songs that will stay stuck in your head for days. Come on blue foil cassette packaged in a three color, neon fur, silkscreened cassette box and a full color insert."

Premise Beach says: "We got our cassette album back from IN THE POCKET TAPES who did fantastic work. It was a long night, but NICK and I managed to inspect, fold and stamp every single insert so you can be assured of its quality! It's got twelve songs we recorded in our apartment and comes with a download code. Pretty cool, man. If you like you can buy the HARD copy." Lost Sound Tapes says: "For fans of Tiger Trap, Beat Happening, and 90's punk".

Fox Pop Recording Co. says: "The long awaited Robert Church & the Holy Community - Los Tres De Canarias is finnaalllllyyyy out! I'm super excited to be able to release such a charming, fuzzy, lo-fi Swedish pop tape, I hope you guys like it toooooo!"

Last.fm says: "Robert Church and The Holy Community are a Stockholm based band and plays an indie pop lo-fi sound with perfect pop melodies, great harmony and gentle vocals. If you like Belle and Sebastian, Sebadoh or Radio Dept. you will like them, i can even tell that they seems a bit of Rogue Wave specially on their earlier works."

Obeast Tapes says: "The Sea Lions / Handglops split showcases two groups that reside on opposite ends of the country, as well as opposite ends of the pop spectrum. Sea Lions will inevitably remind you of the feelings of exuberance that came along with those early adolescent experiences such as kissing girls, getting high, acting dumb and acting cool all while wearing an ear to ear smile. Handglops reflects the opposite in that it will remind you of those bummed out, confused moments when your identity and morality become blurred, basically the bad times. All of the songs on this tape are as contagious as H1N1, but way more fun to dance to. Each tape comes hand numbered with full color, fold out, reversible j-cards and color labels on translucent blue tapes. Limited to 100. Comes with download card for free MP3s of the entire album."

Pure Groove says: "Mighty new cassette single from the Lark! Their lovely brand of shimmery summer pop sounds mighty fine to us, and these mighty instore heroes just go from strength to strength. We just used mighty three times in one paragraph. Mighty bad English that is..."

Lost Sound Tapes says: "Very limited import cassette EP, containing the single 'Antibodies' from the album 'The Golden Spike'.

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.

Lost Sound Tapes says: "10 tracks of ukulele & harp sibling sweetness, their first proper full length album! It's exactly what you've been waiting for."

Indiepages says: "This debut cd of theirs is their best work to date. A few of the songs on here have been previously released in various forms, but these recordings capture the band at their best. Clocking in at just over 17 minutes, these ten brief songs are both super-sweet and heartbreaking, with a fragile instrumentation of harp and ukulele backing Rebecca's dulcet voice (as well as her brother Josh's occasional backing vocals)."

The People's Republic Of Rock And Roll says: "Holy Shit! This wicked magnetic strip is now totally ROCK-ABLE! The Winslows are Three righteous dudes….w/ faces that match up with the ones who brought you SUPER FAMICOM, NICE AND FRIENDLY, and ALLIGATOR. POP-PUNK shredders to say the least. TEN songs about Love, Hate, Beer, Pleasure, and Secrets! For fans of Screeching Weasel, Jaw Breaker, Weston, and the Life itself."
