Not So Quiet On The Western Front

Alternative Tentacles

1982’s Not So Quiet on the Western Front compilation was the first to document the exploding Northern California hardcore punk scene of the early ’80s. With 47 tracks clocking in at 74 minutes, it’s a massive and diverse set of material where internationally known bands like Dead Kennedys, MDC and Flipper rub elbows with cult favorites such as Church Police, Maniax and Scapegoats. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the album’s release, Alternative Tentacles and Maximumrocknroll have repressed the double-LP version of this West Coast punk classic that includes MRR #0 in its original newsprint format, along with a free MP3 download!

Four Old Seven Inches

Dischord

***BACK IN STOCK!!! The Four Old Seven Inches LP, first released in 1984, compiled four early Dischord EPs (by then already out of print) from TEEN IDLES, SOA, GOVERNMENT ISSUE, and YOUTH BRIGADE (DC). These EPs represented the opening salvo from a punk community that organized in Washington DC in the early ‘80s and continues to produce challenging and meaningful ideas more than 25 years later. The later CD (v/a Dischord 81) edition added the first two Minor Threat EPs to the mix and by the early ‘90s the vinyl edition of this compilation had fallen out of print. This new Four Old Seven Inches edition is pressed on clear vinyl and features updated artwork.

Real Fun

Picturebox

***Ever wonder what independent musicians do the other twenty-three hours a day when they’re on tour? Real Fun answers this question with over one hundred photographs of musicians and bands in their downtime—sleeping, eating, fishing, and just goofing off. Ashod Simonian has traveled with scores of the finest bands in indie rock. His dreamy, lush Polaroids capture the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, Spoon, Pavement, Elliott Smith, The Shins, Sleater-Kinney, Broken Social Scene, Wilco, and more. Many of these bands also contributed essays and memoirs to the book, making it an essential collection of wisdom and memories from the road by bands both popular and obscure. Real Fun is accompanied by a CD of exclusive tracks by bands featured in the book, including: All Smiles, Califone, Dios, Flash Hawk Parlor Ensemble, Fuck, Irving, Kaito, Les Georges Leningrad, Jason Lytle, Mt. Eerie, Norfolk & Western, Panty Lions, Pine Marten, Preston School of Industry, Radar Bros., Sleeping States, Slumber Party, and Stereo Total. These tracks were selected by Simonian especially for Real Fun. They are a kind of public soundtrack to this compendium of private moments.  “Is there anything more indie than the Polaroid? Okay sure, probably a lot of things [insert digression on multi-faceted definition of "indie" here], but that little square-shaped instant memorypiece with the white border has, one must admit, endeared itself to indie culture to a significant extent.  Indie Polaroids of indie artists, therefore, equals double the indie for your dollar-- and that's just what...

Cherrystones Word

Tlon Uqbar

Remember all those rock magazines with covers proclaiming that "rock is dead!"? Remember that girl at the party who told you that the guitar was "played out" and "too limited?" Thankfully there are people in this world like Mr. Cherrystones who patiently waited to rock a psychedelic block party from London to NYC with his new compilation Cherrystones Word. Debut release on the Tlon Uqbor label, fierce spawn of contemporary psych repository Holy Mountain.  Reflecting his punk rock roots, but coming out at a hip-hop angle with an astounding knowledge of music and a native intuition of how to tear shit up in clubs, Cherrystones is the sound of psychedelia-soundtracks-folk-rock-prog-noise-moog-and-library-records.   Cherrystones is also an excavator of exciting, seemingly unfamiliar genres. Many heavy sounds that are held in high regard now were first uncovered on his previous compilations Cherrystones Rocks (Lo Recordings) and Hidden Charms.   Cherrystones is a music lover first and foremost, who happens to be a beat-digger par excellence. His compilations have a beautiful flow like a radio transmission from planet dada. This personal-journey-by-DJ is genuinely disarming as he uncovers track after track that thrills through being dusted down for fresh consumption, from the Led Zeppelin-esque qualities of Dead Moon to the crazed, Dylan-like The Deviants. What could be more of an accidental tribute (as this was put together before his sad passing) to the late, great Arthur Lee than the Midnight Circus?  Comps are two-a-penny, but none are as solid or brimful...

International Sad Hits, Volume One: Altaic Language Group

20|20|20

International Sad Hits: Volume One introduces four singer-songwriters from Asia to the English speaking world. All four are veteran musicians in their respective homes, with decades-long careers, large discographies, and devoted followings. These are not pop stars or traditional folk artists, but singer-songwriters in the tradition of Bob Dylan, Tim Buckley, and Nick Drake. As a result, their music has, for the most part, never traveled beyond their national or linguistic cultures. This co mpilation is intended to take the music across those borders, and introduce it to the wider audience it deserves.  The tracks were selected by 20/20/20 owners Damon & Naomi, who first encountered these songs when touring the world themselves. These four singers are among the discoveries closest to their hearts. And while the title points out that these artists are linked by a linguistic family (Altaic) as well as a continent (Asia), what truly connects them is their love of melancholy.   Indeed, these could be among the saddest songs you'll ever hear. One of them, "Bohemian" by Kim Doo Soo, is reputed to have caused two suicides in Korea. Mikami Kan and Tomokawa Kazuki are famous in their native Japan for their extreme emotional singing styles, and Turkey's Fikret Kizilok plays melancholy love songs backed by guitar, strings and percussion. Rather than a common style, the poetic lyricism and emotional possibility of these songs unite them.   After all, even if you grew up in Anatolia, and someone gave you a comp with Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, Tom...

Malpractice - The Fflint Central Compilation

Birdman

*** Fflint Central, a fantastic CDR-only label, comes from the Manchester countryside where lay lines vibrate through the fates of the local inhabitants. Whether these vibrations triggered the creation of dark, groovy soundscapes by a group of like-minded sound distortionists is anyone’s guess. But the phenomena is real, and over the past few years these electronic warlords have partnered some of the most innovative, trance-enducing, psychedelic wave forms since Stockhausen’s electrified Jew’s Harp. All twenty-odd Fflint Central releases, which chronicle the exploits of bands such as Pendro and Berkowitz, Lake & Dahmer, have circulated underground in the form of CDRs, a medium that unfortunately protects all but fellow travelers from exposure. Yet the legendary late John Peel caught on and played them regularly. Electronic guru rags such as Wire and E/I fly the freak flag of Fflint with gusto. And with this Birdman Records release - Malpractice, a compilation of classic cuts from the Fflint Central archives - for the first time in history, the music is being made readily available to the public.
