The Pope of The Butthole Surfers and Silver Screen Legend, Gibby
Haynes teams up with Third Man Records and releases into the wilds three
blasts of psychic energy in the punk rock idiom exploiting a range of
subjects from, teenagers on fire, Equine love affairs, and Recession
shotgun stories. Yes folks, it''s the Gibby Haynes Blue Series 7" Single on Third Man Records and it’s being released on Valentines Day, 2013. For lovers.


The three-song single features two originals "You Don't Have To Be
Smart" and "Horse Named George," and a cover of Adrenalin OD's "Paul's
Not Home," a lost classic (cough cough... ahem) that originally appeared
on the 1982 New York Thrash compilation alongside the first ever
recorded material by Beastie Boys and some of the earliest known
recordings by Bad Brains, Kraut and others.


The limited edition component of this single will be another first for Third Man Records... a FLEX-RAY DISC.
We'll be selling a very limited number of copies of this single pressed
on old medical x-rays from The Rolling Record Store in Austin, TX (The
Butthole Surfers old stomping grounds...) during this year's South By
Southwest festival. So stay tuned here for more info on the RRS at SXSW,
including more limited edition records, new items and merchandise, live
performances from the truck and all the locations where we'll be posted
up this year.


Available for presale now in our webstore and will ship in time to arrive so you can bestow upon your sweetheart on St. Valentines Day.

I went last year. You won't know where it's going to be parked until its prettt much right before they get there. Then you have to rush to get there before everyone else because you all want the same thing. And they only sell a limited amount of those rare records at each stop. Usually 20-50 of them.

So lets say one was to spend the day drinking in DT Austin with no plans beyond getting drunk and messing around on Twitter. One might have a decent shot? 

 

I haven't decided if that sounds fun or stupid. (or both) yet. Just asking.

I've been every year TMR has been to SxSW. I liked it much better all the years before last year where they took up residence at Frank's and stayed there all week. During SxSW Austin's far more crowded than any other time of year so getting around is slow and difficult if it's not in the immediate downtown area, so yes, last year it was a huge pain in the ass to run around trying to catch the RRS. 

 

Sometimes they let you know the day before where they will be the next morning and then if you show up about 4 hours before they open, you're probably going to get whatever tri-color or variant they're selling that day.
