torpaul Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 so, someone else decided to spend money on my band. Tiny Engines is putting out Best Practices - The EP LP. they put pre-orders live today. check it out: http://tinyengines.limitedpressing.com/ (first news story!!) they are also doing an exclusive t-shirt design (sort of jealous cause i really like the design). here's the pressing info: 500 1-sided LPs (75 on opaque yellow, 175 on black with a silk-screened b-side, and 250 on translucent green with white smoke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchashorttime Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 this, so far, is one of my favorite releases all year. super fun, catchy, and feels good. it'll definitely be a favorite summer record of mine. definitely buy it. $10, you really won't go wrong.

bluethumb Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Just pre-ordered the A Few Good Things 7", pretty rad music. Loving the mystery color too. You guys should look into playing the Middle East if you ever come to Boston. It's a nice little venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice little venue. well, Best Practices has come up to Boston a bunch cause we're only in Providence. normally we play places like Charlies Kitchen, Starlab, etc. we rely on our good friend Ryan The Terrible to hook it up.

qwrm38 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 im waiting for the dikembe preorders to go up so i can get both at once ... im pumped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpaul Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 actually, just got word that the records are shipping from the plant this week. so....you all could be rocking this wax be as early as next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpaul Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 apparently records arrived at Tiny Engines. this means pre-orders should ship this week (except the black silk-screened copies...those still need to be screened. should ship next week). also, this means we'll have copies at all our upcoming shows.

torpaul Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 not sure if anyone cares: we now have copies on yellow and green vinyl. you can order a copy direct from us at bestpractices.bandcamp.com or from torjohnsonrecords.com and of course from tinyengines.limitedpressing.com Armageddon, Olympic, Analog Underground, and The Time Capsule will have copies at some point this week too.

bearchuck Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Are you sure that you have yellow? Don't you mean "neon lime explosion?" Also, the black vinyl with the screen-printed b-side should be done really soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpaul Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 oh yeah, i mean "opaque lemon-lime soda" and "translucent green with wisp-y white cloud smoke" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
