On October 7th, Stray Age, the debut recording from Daniel Martin Moore will be available to you on CD and as modern, downloadable MP3s. You’ve never heard of Daniel Martin Moore, from Cold Spring, Kentucky and that’s okay. Before we got his unsolicited demo in January 2007, neither had we. Luckily, he’d heard of us, and contacted us the way people in Cold Spring still do—he sent us a package, just to see what would happen. We caught up with Daniel while he was working at a friend’s bed and breakfast in Costa Rica. Recorded in Los Angeles in late 2007/early 2008, Stray Age is his stunning, understated debut.

If you pre-order Stray Age by October 7th, we’ll throw in, at no charge to you, a limited CDR featuring four demos, three of which are exclusive to this release. And, as-per-usual, you can expect some stickers and a button or two.

Do us all a favor and pre-order Stray Age here.

On September 23rd, the Sub Pop Recording Company of Seattle, Wash., will proudly and, with any luck, quite conspicuously release the new album by Blitzen Trapper! This new Blitzen Trapper album is entitled Furr and will be available as: a big, round, black vinyl LP (complete with a free digital download code of the entire album), a much shinier, more silvery and smaller Compact Disc, or in the popular, though largely invisible MP3 format–all manufactured with the utmost care and attention to detale. And, as an authorized representative of the Sub Pop Recording Company and not very well supervised writer of this email, I am prepared to offer you FREE THINGS, when you pre-order Furr! FREE THINGS like: A Blitzen Trapper iron-on patch! An MP3 download of the otherwise unavailable, remarkably great Blitzen Trapper song from the Furr sessions “Rent-a-Cop”! Blitzen Trapper stickers! Also maybe a button!

Surely, you should pre-order Furr right here.

Mark your calendars folks! On September 9th you could (read: should) be listening to the new Chad VanGaalen record, Soft Airplane on your CD-player or new-fangled mp3 machine! And, if you pre-order Soft Airplane from us by September 9th, we’ll boost the stoke-a-matic several levels by giving you a free bonus CDR, featuring three CvG songs currently unavailable elsewhere! But wait! We also enjoy giving you free stickers and buttons, for free, so you can show the world your love of Chad VanGaalen via your car, locker, math book, mom’s car, fixed-gear cycling machine, or whatever. So order the CD from us, get a bonus CD and save a trip to the store, and totally score a couple of free stickers and a free button for free!
