birdtapes

also for those into color variants - I ordered 100 random cassettes for this, I don't have a full count but here are all the one's I dropped off

 

Soooo finally have an update on this, dropped the tapes off last weekend and they will have them on this tour - they are selling them at the show tonight.

well from a video of a test press that was linked a few pages back, it seems he's ready to revamp the label with new releases, so I'm sure he has a plan for the salt tapes

 

1. yeah new releases, gonna be cool

2. no plans - sorry ya'll, they were in my closet, just moved so they are in a box somewhere but I'm not selling them until I get the okay, so I'll shoot out another email but I wouldn't count on it - best case scenario he takes them off my hands and you have to get them at a show

Thanks to everyone who ordered a bundle!

 

Really not tryna be sneaky about these SALT tapes, the moment I know what I can do with them I'll tell you :/

These are going out tonight/tomorrow so if you don't actually want it let me know? Some people wanted them and didn't get them so.

 

Also 100% out of waste yrself and to be close to you now (and also starry cat and rules and anything else you probably want)

Still have some ghost gum and fog lake though.

Do we have a set time or just random?

Uh I didn't/don't think it's going to be that big of a thing, but I guess I'll shoot for noon?

Since people are still interested I'm gonna throw the $20 bundle up tomorrow, only have 10 of em.

 

To clarify both teen suicide and julia brown have been repressed, so you can get newer versions from some other places.

Also I have some of the Halloween show posters left, they're really cool but I never put them up for sale because shipping posters is a pain.

11 x 15, with glow in the dark ink - if enough people are interested in that I'll look into getting poster tubes?

Whoa cool, I don't have any cassette mailers but I have some 7" mailers so I was thinking of doing two 4-packs if ya'll are into it - if not I'll think about how to get this stuff out to you but maybe:

 

$20: to be close to you (2nd pressing), holy cross ep, waste yrself csd, ghost gum demos 

 

$15: corey's coathangers, young professional, 30 days, feel not bad demo

 

I'm not a fan of bubble mailers but if everyone would prefer to just pick and choose I can get some of those and do it that way

thanks for hooking RFC up, I was very happy to be able to pick up the split w/ R.L. Kelly!

Glad you got it, RFC and DDW rule

Yeah there's no line or dibs, and thanks for all the messages but I promise if there's any decision made to sell them I'll post here.

 

Honestly the releases I have left are the releases people weren't buying in the first place so I don't know if anyone's interested - I probably have some CSD waste yrself tapes but that was just re-released on vinyl and cs definitely worth it to pick that up instead uh I have some personal copies of some things but I wouldn't feel too good about ebay-ing that stuff so I wouldn't know how else to sell anything so limited.

 

BRD002 SW/MM/NG - Feel Not Bad Demo CS

BRD006 Julia Brown - To Be Close To You CS (2nd pressing)

BRD017 Thee Ahs - Corey's Coathangers CS

 

DSTR002 Fog Lake - Holy Cross EP CS

DSTR005 Samira Winter - 30 Days CS

DSTR008 Free Cake For Every Creature - young professional CS

DSTR009 Ghost Gum - Demos CS

Like I said, I'm not comfortable selling them right now but I'll look into it. I'm just not into people selling/buying our releases for so much, I tried to give everything to labels (DDW + RFC) that I knew would sell em for a reasonable price - SALT was kept with me for a reason.

 

To everyone asking me about other releases I might have some Fog Lake tapes but that's about it.

Moved salt to that bird tapes thread, didn't want to take this off topic

 

Anybody else have a difficult time getting DDW to respond to emails?

LVL UP just got back from tour so I'm sure they'll get back to you soon

RE: SALT tapes

wasn't trying to get anyone's hopes up was just trying to put the information out there

 

We made 100 random colored cassettes, but we didn't sell any of them - wanted to get it out there though so I threw it into some orders for free. I love 'nintendo 64' and 'not so tough' was originally trying to release a cassette of unreleased songs but Alex didn't want to, instead he sent over SALT. I like when our cassette releases have balanced A/B sides and also to include little extras which is why there is an extra track on the cassette I believe the file was just called "chicken".

 

Was meant more as a promotional item for his next record, which obviously we didn't end up releasing so these tapes never went up in the store - wouldn't feel comfortable sellin em. I just wouldn't spend too much money trying to get one.

 

Just counted and I have 86 so I'll see if Alex wants anything to do with em

RFC / DDW got the last of the Alex G / R.L. Kelly splits, Boy Crush / Starry Cat splits, Porches. / LVL UP splits and Julia Brown 7"s

 

Looks like these two are still available:

http://runforcoverrecords.limitedrun.com/products/560108-porches-lvl-up-split-7

 

I think LVL UP has some of the Porches. split too, go see em live

I just saw Sean the other night and he has like 5 Boy Crush splits left so also go see him live

 

moved SALT tape post to that Bird Tapes thread

Will you refund me shipping?  Because I know it's not $13 to ship a 7" to canada.  I also know its probably not your fault, the store just automates the price.

Yeah I'll look into it assuming you're the person who left a note about this? But it's definitely not $7

Thanks for posting this pat!

 

We know people are mad our 7"s aren't $5 but we definitely can't sell them at that price, maybe when we have a bigger audience and can press larger quantities.

 

You can name your price on our store or the band's bandcamp, buy the digital version from itunes and amazon if you want, or stream it on spotify and rdio

 

Music is free, we hope you value our physical releases because we do try to make them special

Thanks!

 

You should definitely check out their follow up,

One of my favorite records from last year, sure maybe I'm biased but I didn't release it, it's a great album.

 

new project: http://www.facebook.com/JuliaBrown09

Thanks so much! Been working on this release since August so it's awesome to have it in my hands.

It's cool the different bands people have compared them to (taking back sunday, the unicorns, american football, snowing, joyce manor) but yeah I think they're pretty unique.

 

Unfortunately the band did break up but Sam has a new project in the works, less dark more pop.

Excited to announce my first record is up for sale right now.

Thanks to this site and forum for existing (for its support and wealth of knowledge).

 

Teen Suicide - Goblin Problems 7"

Pressing Info:
100 White
200 Black

 

There are about 30 white remaining right now

 

lo-fi noise punk pop from Maryland 

 

Exceedingly catchy emo-punk in the vein of early Wavves. "Salvia Plath," based around a "Marvin's Room" Sample, is an outlier, but an amazing piece of damaged pop. - beatsperminute.com

 

Let me know what you think, thanks
