The GITD vinyl actually works well with this recording since the recording itself is mastered pretty loud and there's not exactly any quiet parts. But yeah, given the demand, we'll probably have to repress on another color soon. Yeah, I just throw records in my yard to snap pics.

Yeah, a bunch of you stocked up. Nice! Mailorder volume is high right now, but we should have all open orders to the post office within a week. Thank you.

Haha. Awesome. RASPBERRY BULBS "Nature Tries Again" LP now distributed in the auxiliary section and at the downtown store. Post-Bone Awl. http://www.magicbulletrecords.com/mailorderaux.html

Safespace.

Just grab it from a physical store or buy from Jag when ready. Either way, stoked on a new record. Dude rules.

No sweat homie. Enjoy!!!

They actually love it because it's easy, no-stress work and they don't have to deal with someone bringing up a plastic bag of loose rocks or some shit.

Again, people are more than welcome to start their own labels and run them exactly how they think a label "should" be run. If you think kissing "collector" dork ass on messageboards yields sales, you're welcome to try it that way for your own business. We'll see if you can pull it off for as long and prolific as this one's been around while attracting the same caliber bands. Magic Bullet comes from a very specific time and place where there were very specific outlooks on very specific things that the purveyors of the label still embrace. Many of these things aren't around or are just simply lost on the current majority of "record collectors," so it's entirely possible we're simply not the label for you. I'm fine with that if you are.

Haha. Go ahead and entertain us with your "horrible (personal) experience." Show us all on the virtual doll where MBR touched you! Also, love the "probably." Compulsive weirdos...

We've started the process of shipping... 5 days in and maybe about half-way through?

If you see the record "everywhere," then yes, we are doing our job as a label. And gravemistake/Alex can attest first-hand (he used to work at my distributor), that record is CONSTANTLY in demand and we have to constantly repress it to keep up with the needs of stores. We've even had orders on hand exceed what's in inventory and stores have to wait for each repress to catch up. It goes fast. Also, I don't spend record sales money on jeans and rims and shit. I spend my licensing and scoring money on all that. Record sales money tends to go right back into pressing records since distributors pay every 90 days, etc.

Probably will. Looks like it's going to sell out before we can ship any to stores. Weird.

Weird.

Over here, a record label's role is to KEEP RECORDS IN PRINT for as long as the band wishes and for as long as there is demand. I know that's a crazy concept in the modern climate of "record collecting," but we come from an entirely different era.

Wait, this isn't on vinyl already? I can talk to the dudes about it. I thought Mush was handling it.

21 copies of the Big China & Little Trouble LP remain.

Some serious lols at the misunderstanding of how copyrighted works and intellectual property is handled. Regarding the colors, we tell the plant to just send us "whatever" (mixed vinyl). 5 different colors came back this time. So what? At this point, we've made many thousands of copies. I put them all together by hand in my living room. I make different colors of vinyl and different color covers to break up the monotony of assembling them over and over and over and over. To the dude worried about me making statements from my label: we're not publicly owned. It's a private company and I run it entirely to satisfy the vision of the bands and myself. Not you or anyone else. Sometimes things in this world just aren't made for you. Don't like it? Start your own label and do what we do on the level we do it with your own code of "what's right." We don't make records for religious nutjobs. Never have, never will. End of story.

Real talk: we're way too busy on a daily basis right now to stay on top of "numbers" for "collectors" in any sort of timely manner. Last/least priority for the time being. All that crap will surface at some point. Just enjoy the music for now - that's seriously all we or the bands we work with care about, so hang in there.

You should cry about it more.

Yes.

It's literally being mastered right now. I'm starting on the art on Thursday.

VALERIAN SWING "A SAILOR LOST AROUND THE EARTH" CD - MBL144 Now in the webstore: the Magic Bullet full length debut of VALERIAN SWING in the form of the mighty A Sailor Lost Around the Earth. These guys hail from Italy and are certainly new to most listeners over here, so we’re hooking it up and offering the entire CD for only $6.00 ppd in the US because WE WANT YOU TO HEAR IT and we want you to own it. $6.00 is obviously cheaper than iTunes and cheaper than vinyl when checking out new bands, so please take us up on it. The more we are able to sell, the better likelihood that we can generate demand enough to get these guys over here on tour. So please keep that in mind. Musically, you’re in for a treat. It’s based loosely on a lot of that instrumental/post-rock type stuff that we’ve been linked to in recent years, but with an extremely aggressive and frantic take on it. It’s tight as a drum and the dynamics are just killer (huge thanks to Matt Bayles for lending his production and mixing talents to this one). We’re very excited for this band and this album and hope it will be in your collection for many years to come.

It seems like only yesterday that we issued the first pressing of this record, so to already be on the fourth is truly great feeling. The vinyl color this time ended up being primarily clear, but you’ll notice on each copy that there’s varying degrees of black “smoke” permeating throughout. Some are more pronounced then others, but each copy is certainly one of a kind. 500 were pressed in total and they are available now in the webstore (along with the 15 remaining red copies of the third pressing). Thanks again for the tremendous support of this album. For an Mp3: http://www.magicbulletrecords.com/site/discography/mbl138/ To order this LP: http://www.magicbulletrecords.com/mailorder.html -- GHASTLY CITY SLEEP "MOONDRIFTS" 2xLP - $8.99 SECOND PRESSING (VARIOUS COLORS) - MBL142-1 In many ways, almost every facet of this release was cursed from start to finish. However, our headache now becomes your gain, as we’re offering the second pressing of GHASTLY CITY SLEEP‘s Moondrifts 2xLP for a paltry $8.99 ppd in the US. Long story short: the center labels were originally run with CYAN ink when they should have been PMS 877 silver. There was also confusion at the plant as to which center label went on which side (A became C, B became D, and vice versa). So we were told to keep all the messed up copies and that new ones would be run. They were and, while the center label color was corrected, the placement was still off. So now we’ve got tons of these damn records clogging up space over here… definitely more than immediate demand warrants. Our hope is that at $8.99, even the moderately curious will be motivated to check out this gorgeous record (both musically and aesthetically). Please prove us right and snag your copy in the webstore today. Thanks. For an Mp3: http://www.magicbulletrecords.com/site/discography/mbl142/ To order this 2xLP: http://www.magicbulletrecords.com/mailorder.html -- DOOMRIDERS "BLACK THUNDER" LP - REPRESS - MBL073-1 Now in the webstore: yet another repress of DOOMRIDERS‘ popular debut LP Black Thunder. This time around, we ran two variations. First up is something we’re calling “THUNDERSTRUCK.” It’s basically like a deep bruise that turned black. The purples are deep, the blues are throbbing, and some skin peeks through here and there. Dark, dark, dark is the key here. Roughly 250 exist. The second variation is “PURPLE HAZE.” It’s a lavender/light purple marbly melange of a color. Either way, it’s entirely based on the background haze of the front cover at that Jebb painted. I thought it would be really cool to have the record itself look like an extension of that since we never really had that before on this title. Again, about 250 of these exist. Nerdiness: this is the first run of Black Thunder to feature standard white 1c1s board stock on the LP jacket. Previous runs all had clay-coated news back. If you care about this, you’re missing the fucking point and need to listen to more of your records instead of “collecting” them. Copies of both variations are in the webstore now. The band also has some copies that you’ll be able to purchase at future shows.
