kirbypuckett Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 http://www.subpop.com/releases/sub_pop/misc/sub_pop_singles_club_3_0 The Sub Pop Singles Club: The Return of the Return of Khan The Sub Pop Singles Club is back, all tan and rested after a shockingly long sabbatical. It is a somewhat louche, world-weary thing with its eye on your wallet. And, for a price, The Sub Pop Singles Club is ready and willing to satisfy you aurally in ways you never dreamed possible. Without further pandering, here are the facts! Fact 1! This run of The Sub Pop Singles Club will run for 1 year only, before returning to its secret island vacation spot for eternity (or until we here at Sub Pop feel masochistic enough to take on coordinating this debacle again.) Fact 2! This year’s Sub Pop Singles Club will include records (of the 7” variety) with music from such artists as Om, Unnatural Helpers, Tyvek, Black Mountain, Black Lips, Arthur & Yu, Mika Miko, Blues Control, Notwist, plus some stuff we’re not yet at liberty to divulge. And they won’t come out in that particular order, necessarily. Fact 3! We will mail you 1 record per month, every month for an entire year beginning on August 15th with a fantastic pair of songs from Om. Fact 4! For shipments to North America, you will pay us $75 in exchange for receiving this monthly boon from us. If you live elsewhere, in places outside of North America, we will require $90 from you. Fact 5! We will be pressing 1,500 copies of each single and so the number of subscriptions available for sale will be correspondingly limited. When these subscriptions are gone, that’s it! Fact 6! In addition to the singles themselves, each subscriber will receive a coupon enabling the download of high-quality MP3s of each record. No need to worry about how you’ll jam that 7” into your disk drive, we’ve got all you technophiliacs with your new-fangled gadgets covered. Fact 7! Subscriptions will be limited to 5 per person. So here’s your chance to join the throngs of assholes selling their collectibles on eBay for ridiculous sums! All you have to do is: SEND US YOUR MONEY! PLEASE NOTE: The subscription is $90 USD for all customers outside North America. The extra charge will be added in the checkout process.

Guest vito Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 i'd be down for the Om, Black Mountain and Blues Control singles. I wish they'd release the other artists though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanargyle Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I personally think it would be awesome if they re-released the first Singles Club in a limited run....like on an anniversary or something. That shit would sell out in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 "Limited to 5 subscriptions per person" -- that is entirely ridiculous. I'm not a fan of any of the nine bands they divulged, and I doubt I'd be that blown away by the other three bands they haven't announced yet, so I'll save my money, thanks.

xxmartinxx Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Looking at the list of artists reminds me of the monthly disappointment that was Version 2.0 to me. With that said, I'll probably join yet again because I'm a sucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seafoamgreen Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Unless the other three bands are Postal Service, Melvins and Nirvana, this will be $75 poorly spent. I doubt you'll be able to flip these at more than the $7 a piece they're charging you for them. Just ask anyone who's tried to sell that Green Magnet School 7" from '93.

celebdeath Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 i've taken a chance on this. pretty pricey but cool enough nonetheless. like sub pop bands at the moment. got the volcom subscription ages ago too. anyone know of other subscription stuff that r b good? punk, metal, post-rock, instumental, grunge - whatever the fuck.

andrews Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 not sure about this whole thing, but I'll probably take a chance on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
