It’s been a very busy night, but we have a lot to show for it!  First and more important:

The new Joie De Vivre album We’re All Better Than This will be up for full streaming onAlternative Press today!  While you are listening to that, head over to our store and pre order it! You will also find their quintessential emo-revival EP Summer Months up for pre order.  This is the first time it is available on vinyl!  There are several Joie De Vivrebundles, so choose the one that’s right for you.

Tomorrow, you will be able to stream the whole Dowsing full length It’s Still Pretty Terribleat Absolute Punk.  Whether you buy it on good faith today or wait until tomorrow, the pre orders are now available.  There is also a deal that includes every Dowsing release in one package, so catch up now if you haven’t already.

The repress of Penfold LP Amateurs & Professionals is also on it’s way, so if you missed out on that classic or you want all the new colors, go pick that up.  Pick everything up!

Finally, you may have noticed, but we gave the website a huge overhaul.  It isn’t quite done, but it feels good to have it looking and functioning better.  We are working hard to get everything finished, but we figured it’s close enough to share, and still fully operational.

Enough talk, go get those new records! <3

The time is finally approaching!  We are happy to announce that Alternative Press will be streaming the entire new Joie De Vivre album We’re All Better Than This, starting Thursday.  Then on Friday, jump over to Absolute Punk for the full stream ofDowsing‘s new album It’s Still Pretty Terrible.

On Thursday at our website, we will be launching both pre-orders, along with some cool package deals so you can grab almost complete discography’s at a nice, low price!  Summer Months by Joie De Vivre will also be up for preorder- on vinyl for the first time ever!

In the meantime, we added a cool little area to our shop called the Scratch ‘N Dent section.  This section of our store is reserved for items that have been shipped damaged, somehow dinged up by carelessness, etc- like that section in IKEA just past the 50 cent all beef hotdogs and weird berry soda pop. All of the records are fully playable, but the jacket is dinged a bit or the CD case is damaged, etc. Maybe a shirt has a small scuff or wasn’t screened properly. So don’t expect these items to look perfect- if you want that, you can find them for sale in the other parts of our store.  Now, get to shopping!

You probably notice that we did things a little bit different with the latest issue of Manual Dexterity. Instead of doing the standard zine that we usually do, we decided to have each article and interview be their own piece and then stuffed into a 7” record packaging. Colors of paper may vary from what’s shown. Copies will be available for purchase this weekend. Limited to 50 copies.
