Dinosaur Jr. - Cassette Trilogy Box Set
Joyful Recordings has reissued the first three Dinosaur Jr albums on cassette in a wooden box and it is already sold out. Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies, the Dinosaur Jr. Cassette Trilogy is packaged in a custom-built, screen-printed wooden box, printed by In Case of Emergency Press. The three cassettes include the original artwork for their Self Titled, You're Living All Over Me, and Bug full-lengths, all released between 1985 and 1988. As a random suprise added to 50 of the 500 boxes available, some will find a copy of Sebadoh's Weed Forestin' cassette. While I am happy to see a resurgence in cassettes in 2011, or anything non-digital, priced reasonably, and non-imbecilic, I am in no way ready to jump back on the bandwagon I jumped off fifteen years ago. If you were lucky enough to order in time, you should receive yours sometime around December 13.

Mike Mountain - Hiding In The Rock

November 3, 2011 12:13 PM | No Comments
Mike Mountain's 'Hiding in the Rock' is now released. With irreal lyrics serving as the lighthouse and a pulsating three-piece providing the current, Mike Mountain charts a course that musically sticks in your craw and once hooked refuses to lighten the slack. Unafraid to stray into the abyss, the crew floats along with a deceptive calm; like the harbor before the mania of an oncoming deluge that threatens the dirty seaport. All and all, the catch is quite tasty, but like any delicacy, the sound is destined for those with a particular palate. They understand the value of salt in an earth increasingly musically bland. They're convinced the feast will leave you hungering for more. Six tracks, you can download the track Two Little Bossmen, and pick up a copy at the label webpage.

The Marshmallow Ghosts - Self Titled

The Marshmallow Ghosts - Self Titled

Graveface has gone all out for the self titled debut full-length by The Marshmallow Ghosts. The CD version is actually a DualDisc, and is in a DVD-sized package with a 24 page booklet. One side is the CD, the other the DVD of their horror film 'Corpse Reviver No. 2'. The vinyl has orange, purple and white mixed colors and a clear stenciled jacket. The music sounds similar to the 'Embryonic' album by The Flaming Lips, lots of keyboards, spooky sounds, and experimentation, most hitting the nail directly on the head. You can listen to a sampler from the album, or check out the video for The Hearst Song, or watch the 97 minute version of Corpse Reviver No 2. All physical orders receive an 11x17 poster (a digital download is also available, minus the fun), and you can purchase this all directly from Graveface.
