Lost Sound Tapes says: "Hello! After 4 years of existing as a label, this is our very first vinyl release! It is a short EP shared by two different bands (6 min. on each side) on a small, black vinyl disc. Sound is made of waves, these waves are cut into records as grooves. A needle runs in this groove and transfers the vibrations to your stereo amplifier.

3 new songs of indie pop exuberance from iji. 4 new ukulele & harp folk songs in pop format by Watercolor Paintings. This release is meant to commemorate the iji & Watercolor Paintings 2009 summer tour! There's really no reason not to buy it.

First pressing of 300 copies, on black vinyl, with handprinted covers by Rebecca Redman."

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: "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."

We have for you an eclectic hip hop beat tape for your aural pleasure. This is the inaugural tape from Faux Jerome packaged in part of a part of a red/black flannel shirt. Lumber jack be damned. Is red/black flannel still popular? Let's find out together!

First pressing limited to 100 copies, light blue, solid color tapes, hand stamped labels, full color inserts, in stenciled pouches that are stapled together. WHOA."

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 tape is a solo, boombox recording and the CD is a full band, digital 8-track recording by Tory Fiterre of Cartoon Monster. 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 100 tapes, black and white printed covers, black tapes, and typewritten blue labels. Also comes with a mini, 4pt sized text, lyric booklet."

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: "Brand new album from Seattle's finest folky pop band! It's a perfect mix of songs that will make you shake your behind and songs that make you want to curl up in your bed. Guest appearances by just about everyone who's anyone in the northwest music scene, including duets with Kimya Dawson and Karl Blau.

One time pressing of 100 copies. Full color covers designed by Sparky Taylor, solid orange tapes, and die-cut, printed labels. Get them while you can."

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.

-- Audio samples coming soon.

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!"

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)."

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!

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)"

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."

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."

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."

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.

Fox Pop says: "New tape woohoo! This one is by the band Sandy City. It's pretty much Seattle popstars gone SURFER PUNX! Member's of this band include Mr. Chris Mac him self, Jon from Blanket Truth & Lost Sound Tapes, Zac from the notorious iji, and Elijah who I also think plays with iji. Anyways, it's super rad!"

We're Twins Records says: "Ann Arbor's favorites bring two brand new songs on gator green vinyl. "I Don't Want to Go" starts with a hilarious fake wedding conversation that jumps into a wild party jam with lead vocals by Ms. Betty Marie Barnes and people hooting and hollering and everything. "Disaster" has very cool horn duo melody that never repeats itself and lead vocals by Fred Thomas. Get this while you can!"

NOTE: Clear green vinyl.

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.

Fox Pop says: "It's the last set of recordings to be done by Jim Of Von Hemmling around 2004. For those of you who don't know, Von Hemmling is e6 history. Jim is an ex-member of the Apples In Stereo, and has played with almost all of them; as well as studio work. Infact, a supporting player on this tape was John Furgunson, a current member of the Apples as well as Ulysses, and Big Fresh Forever."

Phoning It In says: "Rebecca writes the songs, plays the harp (a first on Phoning It In!), and is also in Girl Band and maybe Sausage Dog. Josh (aka Hoshwa) plays the baritone ukulele, sometimes records as Cave Babies, and is the dancing genius behind the 5...4...3...2...fun!! radio show. Don't let Joanna Newsom or the Renaissance Festival lull you into thinking there's only one way to skin a harp, though. Watercolor Paintings make intimate and perfect Impressionistic pop songs, a far-cry from psych-folk pretensions, or any pretensions at all, really."
