danthemjfan23 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 hey dudes and dudettes! the Artistic Integrity Records facebook page just surpassed 200 Likes a couple days ago, and to celebrate, i'm going to be picking one random fan who has liked the page to receive a free copy of the latest record i just put out, the 7" split between The Ambulance Review and Devon Kay & The Solutions. all you have to do to enter the contest is Like the facebook page before 10:00 pm central time on Sunday, June 24. i'll pick a winner later sunday night, get in touch with them via facebook to get a mailing address, and send the record out some time next week! www.facebook.com/artisticintegrityrecords AIR-002 is an incredible 4 song split 7" between The Ambulance Review from Fredericksburg, Virginia, and Devon Kay & the Solutions from Chicago, Illinois. each side of the split features 2 songs from the respective band, and will leave you satisfied and smiling. please head over to www.artisticintegrityrecords.com to check out all the info, the color breakdowns, and place your orders! in case you've never heard of these guys, here's one song from each band so you can get a little taste: The Ambulance Review - "Okay, Awesome." Devon Kay & The Solutions - "The Lamentation Of A Projecting Moron" [media=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrhxiUkuwt0&feature=colike i'm going to do a test pressing contest where we'll pick the winner on July 7 (7/7). whoever uploads the best video of their own rendition of one of the songs that appears on the split will get a test pressing from AIR-002, and a free copy of AIR-001, the mike felumlee/dan andriano split i released back in january. so get crackin'! the download will come with 73 different mp3 tracks and a 37-page digital "cd booklet" for your enjoyment. and no, neither of those numbers are typos. 73 digital tracks, and a physical copy of the 7" record on hot pink, white, or black vinyl for $5. i dare you to find a better deal anywhere in the series of tubes we call the internet. (most of those tubes are filled with cats, and pictures/videos of said cats) please pick up a copy either from the website, or come see me at a Chicago show where you can buy one sans shipping charges. your first chance to do that will be this saturday (June 9) when DK&S play with Timeshares at Beat Kitchen. if you're into collecting test pressings, get in touch. we're going to have a few left over after everybody in the bands gets theirs, and everybody else involved in the release of this record. obviously i want them to be in the hands of fans, and i promise you that you're going to flip your shit when you see how awesome the test pressing jackets came out for this release. Grant Kersey absolutely demolished my idea of what was possible with these, so thanks to him for being amazing. i've got a number of other things up for sale on my site, including (but not limited to) some old alkaline trio gig posters, old/rare records from my personal collection, releases from a few local bands, a buy-in-bulk random used CD sale, and the latest addition is custom made spray painted vinyl records. i've gotten tons of questions about them lately, so i'm finally making them available. shoot me a message if you're interested in one! some unfortunate news, now, if you're a big facebook user and are a fan of the AIR page (or any other page, for that matter) there... with all of the weird privacy and notification limitations going on within facebook lately, the only way i can guarantee you'll see each and every one of my updates is if you follow a couple simple steps that i'm about to outline for you. i know it's kind of a burden, but it'll only take a couple seconds, and it will keep you in the loop with any and all future facebook updates. first, please head over to the AIR facebook page (www.facebook.com/artisticintegrityrecords) and hover over the "Like" button with your mouse. a drop down menu should appear, with an option to "Show in news feed". if it is un-checked, please check it. if it is already checked, leave it! it may take a few attempts to work, because facebook is purposely trying to make it hard lately for small businesses to advertise and get their message out without paying to do so, but please be persistent with mine and any other page with which you'd like to stay up-to-date. as you know, i don't make posts every 20 minutes, so i promise i won't clog up your news feed all day every day. anyway, thanks so much for taking the time to read this novel, and for your support of me, my bands, and what we're all trying to accomplish together. it may seem meaningless to you, but it means everything to me. ozfacter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrangerwithcandy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Dan, does this mean the Kickstarter stuff is going to get sent out too? danthemjfan23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemjfan23 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 thanks so much for the kind words about these tunes. we're all SUPER stoked about how they came out. you'll be able to buy the digital download from my site directly by friday. it won't be an instant download because of the way my website is set up. i physically have to go through and personally e-mail every person their individual code, so bear with me there. but that feature will be ready to go in the next 2 days. as far as the kickstarter stuff, since i wasn't a part of the raising of the money, DK&S are taking care of sending everything out that they owe to people. i will certainly give them a reminder when i see them on saturday to get cracking on that, though. i'll be sure to give you some special stuff in yours, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozfacter Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 awesome! i dont think ive ever been first haha. any word on if tar philly date got a venue yet? danthemjfan23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemjfan23 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 i actually just asked Tom tonight how the tour planning was going! he wasn't in front of his schedule planner when i texted him, though, so he's going to get back to me. if they haven't gotten anything for philly yet, would you be able to help out in any way? even if it's putting them in touch with somebody who can, that would be a huge help. (of course, this is assuming they don't have something solidified yet!) also, EVERYBODY ELSE haha, the download codes are fully functional right now, and up for sale on the website as well. it's kind of a name-your-own-price thing, but we are asking for at least $3. if you want to give more, of course you're welcome to do so. but $3 for 73 songs, we all kind of felt like that is way reasonable. hopefully you all agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthemjfan23 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 the original post has been modified to include the new contest details! if you've ordered a record from me in the past two weeks, it's either already on its way to you, or it's going out today (saturday). without getting into too many details, i've been super swamped with work, lining the finishing touches up for AIR-003 which comes out in 7 weeks, and dealing with a death in the family for which i've had to coordinate airline flights, airport pickups, and hosting people from out of town. everything is okay, or at least as okay as things can be when you lose a family member. but anyway, if you want to head over to the AIR facebook page and click Like before sunday the 24th at 10:00 pm central time, you'll automatically be entered in the drawing for a free copy of the 7" split i just put out between The Ambulance Review and Devon Kay & The Solutions. all the details about the split are in the first post in this thread, and on the AIR website (www.artisticintegrityrecords.com). www.facebook.com/artisticintegrityrecords thanks, as always, for your support. and keep your eyes peeled in the next couple months... lots of huge stuff going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
