aspigasound Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 "As a college sophomore in 1995 studying broadcasting I did a video interview and feature piece about a local skateboarder for the final of one of my video editing courses. Before the widespread use of computers for video editing, I sat for hours editing VHS tape reels on old school editing stations. For this particular project I used a track called "Doing Time" from the MxPx ( http://www.mxpx.com/ )record Life in General, largely known for the band's breakout song "Chick Magnet". Keep in mind, this was all before Jump Start had even released our first record. Fast forward 17 years, and I'm really excited to announce that on April 3, 2012, Jump Start will be releasing the vinyl LP version of MxPx's ninth full length record entitled Plans Within Plans. The first pressing of 2000 will be pressed on black (1000), translucent gold (500), translucent blue(300), and randomly mixed colored vinyl (200). The translucent gold will be exclusive to our mailorder and distribution while the randomly mixed colored vinyl will be exclusive to the band. I literally approved the proofs with the printers today and the lacquers for the record are being cut as I type! STOKED. We're working on some awesome package deals for you guys and we can't wait to get this record into your hands. We're looking to launch our pre-order with limited items and awesome combo deals on March 5th! The CD and digital version of Plans Within Plans is being handled by the bands own imprint, Rock City Recordings, and as soon as we have details from them regarding their pre-sale we'll forward them along to you as well.

somethingvinyl Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 In 1995, the first punk CD I bought was "Teenage Politics" by MXPX. I've been a fan, albeit a disappointed fan for the past six or seven years, but a fan ever since. I will buy this. It will have at the minimum two or three good songs and I'll just reminiscence about being in high school listening to LIG and SGTWTB. Does the most limited vinyl "exclusive to the band" mean they'll sell them on their website or tour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Good question. I hope they're available on MxPx's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesar11 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 MxPx will always have a special place in my heart as they were the first band I ever saw live in 1998 when they were on tour with Blink. Will definitely buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy...the janitor Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 MxPx will always have a special place in my heart as they were the first band I ever saw live in 1998 when they were on tour with Blink. Same. I got a free ticket to the show when I bought a pair of shoes at a skate shop in Reno way back when I was in eighth grade. It was awesome. Fast forward to when I saw Tumbledown last week and talked to Mike about that tour. Full circle. Oh memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty stoked for this. Yay, more variants to collect.. haha Will it be mxpx allstars or the actual mxpx? It's the full original lineup (Mike, Tom, Yuri) for the new record. Though, touring for this record, may not be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyhi Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have a good feeling about this record, even the cover art alone is waaaay better than secret weapon, that was pretty silly looking. Oh and as far as an mxpx story, i used a song off teenage politics as my senior quote in high school....yep I was that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpstartrecords Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 touring will be the mxpx all-stars. i think yuri is pretty much out for any touring outside of one-off shows because of family obligations, and tom right now is working in japan so i don't know if and when all three will be on the road together again. all three recorded the new record, and it sounds awesome. the first five song are all under two and half minutes long and are fast as fuck. on a side note, stephen egerton from the descendents mixed 'plans within plans', and it sounds great.

yocaseycasey Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I still have The Renaissance EP in my rotation. It goes Iron & Wine, The Low Anthem, Tallest Man On Earth, First Aid Kit, MXPX, Ryan Adams... The lady gets pissed on MXPX mornings. Let's face it; they aren't the sultry slow jams you want to wake up to cranked to 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpstartrecords Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 imo, it's a really good record. lots of fast songs, lost of melody, like the older stuff with way better production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezfools Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 one more reason I'm glad I live in Washington. One off shows are a dime a dozen around here it seems, especially tumbledown shows. I've skipped over all the mxpx shows, but maybe I'll hit one up once this record drops and go pick one up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unwound Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Man, I really wish they pressed loneliness is bliss, that Arthur record sounds like a precursor to everything that's going on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspigasound Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 This new record rules. I've always been a casual MXPX fan but, this record is killer. I'm glad we're releasing the vinyl for it. I'm dreading the pre-order process. I'll be printing invoices for weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donlombardo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Listening to the samples at http://www.amazon.com/Plans-Within-MxPx/dp/B0073K974K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330451716&sr=8-1 the fast songs really seem to be good! they should do only fast songs, that's what they do best. I'm glad they've decided to play fast again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Alright, listened to it again. The songs sound good, but there's nothing slow, there seems like no variation whatsoever. MXPX is a pop punk band, sure but their albums had songs at different tempos, and I don't know. I thought "Secret Weapon" showed that they could really play their instruments after being in a band for nearly 20 years. I'm glad they still record but this isn't getting me excited yet.

mmhmm Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The "mixed color vinyl" has always baffled me...I once ordered a "mixed color" record and it came as a marble purple record. I assumed since it was a mixed color pressing that there would be more colors but I e-mailed the store and all they had was the purple marble color. Will the mixed color vinyl of this be multiple colors (i.e. a rainbow of colors) or the same color/variant for all of them? Maybe I'm just not understanding the concept of mixed color vinyl...if so, feel free to correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsccheek Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 There is a pre-order up at mxpx.com for a couple different bundles, and thankfullly one of the bundles is just the record + a compact disc. It looks like the vinyl options are for the Translucent Blue & Randomly Mixed colorways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
