I am in Harrisonburg and the last time I checked they only had two of the Disney Picture Disc LPs.

Travis - Do you have a list of stores in Virginia that carry vinyl? I have not had any luck locally.

Tons of new releases on the way: Part 2 F/NF welcomes the Demon Beat to the family. Along with a new Monthly Mix. For more information check the full post at: http://funnynotfunnyrecords.com/

come on xmas present for my lovely wife!

I might be a touch bias since I co-run funny/not funny and my band Uncle Bengine has a track on the mix, but that said I am really pumped on this mix and feel like it is a fantastic collection of songs! You really should at least give it a streaming listen, see if there is anything that tickles your fancy. It is full of new material, demos, and a few deep tracks that have found their way back to the surface. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have been enjoying over the past few weeks!

Funny / Not Funny Records Update: F/NF 013: INVISIBLE HAND - Self Titled LP | PRE-ORDER HERE Adam Smith and his Invisible Hand have been producing some of the best punk-laced pop gems and quietly experimenting with home-recording under the radar for the past four years; hitting their stride off a series of split 7” EP releases with Naked Gods (Boone, NC), The Alphabet (Harrisonburg, VA) and Borrowed Beams of Light (Charlottesville, VA). With the Funny / Not Funny Records release of Invisible Hand, the band is ready to expand their devoted-listener base. Musically, the band cites influences from decades past, including Velvet Underground, The Box Tops and The Kinks. With big choruses and fretboard theatrics, Invisible Hand is more reminiscent of Born To Quit-era Smoking Popes coupled with the calm, collected lyrical desperation of The Wrens. Standout tracks include “There’s Room in My Will,” which could of easily have been left on the cutting room floor during The Replacements looser glory days, and earsplitting “Four Seasons”; a would-be perfect companion to the 1995’s ahead of it’s time slop-pop “Piss Bottle Man” by Mike Watt. Invisible Hand’s Self Titled debut full length will be officially released on Funny / Not Funny Records November 9th, 2010. Specials for this pre-order, AVAILABLE RIGHT HERE. $12 for Invisible Hand’s LP + Digital Download $15 for Invisible Hand’s LP and F/NF001 (invisible hand / alphabet 7”) (+ Digital Download for all releases) $18 for Invisible Hand’s LP, F/NF001, and F/NF011 (invisible hand / borrowed beams of light 7”) (+ Digital Download for all releases) *All Pre-Orders come with a digital download of F/NF008, Invisible Hand’s Sinister Hand Cassette. All orders will ship the first week of November. Track listing: Two Chords There’s Room in My Will Coy Trap (Aubade) Four Seasons I Want To Win I Caught Twenty Two Don’t Wait For Your 3rd Eye This Morning Was Black Tie Formal Vegetables Once The Salad Enters Your Mind More information can be found on Invisible Hand and their upcoming LP on the Fanatic PR Website.

Funny / Not Funny Records Update: ============================ Check out our newest releases now available: F/NF 009 - Ben Schlabach "Massanetta" 7" Lathe - Order Here http://funnynotfunnyrecords.limitedpressing.com/products/4248 Massanetta, the second solo release by Ben Schlabach, brings you three new songs that compliment yet exceed the tunes from his first release, “They Grow Up So Fast”. Expect the same catchy alt-country sound with Jason Summer’s smooth pedal steel, but thickened by the addition of a subtle yet incredibly effective distorted electric guitar that gives the tunes an added boost. Be prepared to put back a few drinks while listening to Ben’s descriptive story-telling lyrics only to be drawn to the dance floor by the driving melodies. But don’t even consider putting your drink down, because we’re asking Prince to teach us how to party like it’s ‘99 F/NF 010 - Whatever Brains "Rappers Delight II" 7" (Split release w/ Sorry State) - Order Here http://funnynotfunnyrecords.limitedpressing.com/products/4249 Four months since the release of “Nesting,” the Whatever Brains return with their fourth single, “Rapper Delight II”. The Brains pump the brakes on this one, slowing the tempos down for two-thirds of the single without losing any of their lo-fi garage-rockish intensity. Sandwiched between the up-beat Belle & Sebastian lyric-ripper “Village Sewer”, the Clockcleaner-esque “What Makes a Man Make ‘What Makes a Man Start Fires’” and “Rappers Delight II” are destined to be classic porch jammers this season waiting for the charcoal to light up. The single offers Raleigh’s Brains production value and reverb levels at their best as they definitely “stepped up their game.” Perfectly jangly when needed, the single is the perfect compendium to staying awake well beyond the point of reason. Just remember it’s not passing out if it's in your own bed. UPCOMING RELEASES: F/NF 011 - Borrowed Beams of Light / Invisible Hand Split 7".

National Audio Company. I have been getting quotes from them and they are really nice and easy to work with, i have seen/heard their product it is great.

I used dropcard for my last project, but that was mainly because the credit card style card fit well with the project, I was pretty happy with them, but they are about $.50 a piece and the download profile seemed a bit bulky. In the future I would likely go elsewhere (dot)

i am pretty sure they threw wine on me once as well.
