About a Son, a film comprised of beautiful, meditative images of Kurt Cobain's Washington State towns and Cobain's own voice, has screenings listed below. The soundtrack, a veritable mixed tape of the music that most influenced Cobain is available on Barsuk (ADA) on 09/11/07.
The movie will be playing for at least a week at all these locations, and because it's a theatrical release, there will be multiple showtimes. Ticket giveaways are happening on WFMU in NYC, WXPN in Philly, Live 105 in San Francisco/ Berkeley, and KDHX in St. Louis.

The Cribs released an LP a few weeks ago, exclusive to indie record stores. The CD release date is tomorrow, 7/17 and it's getting some great attention from folks like Rolling Stone, who say "their third album is a holler-along Brit-punk gem." Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth) lends some vocals and Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand) produced the record.

We moved last week. The office has been moved to beautiful downtown Portsmouth, where we can all-too-easily get a latte if we so wish. Actually and coincidentally, we can peek out the window at the record store here in town and make creepy phone calls to them about what they're wearing while they're outside smoking cigarettes. We plan on taking full advantage of our situation here. So that's 10 Vaughan Mall Suite 1 in Portsmouth, NH. Mark that down.
We hope your 4th of July explodes with a heavy dose of "awesome."

Holy cannoli! Everyone's favorite doctor drama (next to Doogie Howser M.D) GREY'S ANATOMY will be featuring not one but two songs from Let's Go Sailing this Thursday, March 22nd at 9/8c.
¨Sideways¨ and ¨All I Want From You is Love¨ will appear in an episode entitled ¨My Favorite Mistake¨ which airs THIS THURSDAY, March 22nd at 9/8c.
And, it gets better... ¨Sideways¨ will actually close out the episode and run almost in its entirety over a montage. The Chaos In Order is Let's Go Sailing's resplendent full-length debut and the copy we sent you is probably arriving to you as we speak. It's coming out next Tuesday, March 27th on Yardley Pop/GR2 Records and you can get it through Fontana.

We saw the one am radio this weekend, and they were just great. They played with a simple setup- Hrishi with his computer and guitar and pretty voice, 2 tenor saxophone players, and an upright bass. Sooooo beautiful. We hope you brought in plenty of his records and that you see him when he comes around.

We're really proud here in little Portsmouth, New Hampshire of a wee project called the RPM Challenge. So far, over 2000 bands from all over the world have signed up to take on the task- which is to write and record 10 songs or 35 minutes of music in the 28 days of February. You've most likely received a poster from us, and this is what it's all about.

One word. Menomena.
This morning we woke up to see Menomena on the tippity top of the Pitchfork main page with an 8.5 rating. We're talking about real praise, here. Gung-ho statements about how it "has possibly the most brilliantly executed cover art of the decade," and that "Friend and Foe follows through on the potential of their unique sound, proving their wildly great debut was no fluke."
Go see the Menomena e-card. It's amazing.

We sure do hope everyone had a great holiday season, and that your stores were bustlin' with record buyers. Jo survived the temperate landscapes of Jamaica. AJ survived the New Year's Eve party at his house. Sparky survived... well, himself really. Anne survived the 654984 members of her gigantic Irish-Catholic family.
So what's up with 2007? We've got new stuff flying at you from Menomena, Million Billion, Softlightes, Eleni Mandell, The One AM Radio, Canon, and Dr. Dog in the next couple of weeks alone. We're hoping for a great year to come. Let us know if you need anything!

AJ made it back alive from CMJ in NYC. He sent Anne a text message at a million o' clock on Saturday night, informing her that the Dangerbird Showcase was outta control. Sweet.
Remember to check the tour dates on this website. You want to get into one of these shows? Contact us! We can probably get you in there sippin' Crystal like a VIP P.I.M.P.
The Slip's "Eisenhower" (Bar None) and the Shortbus Soundtrack (Team Love) are out tomorrow. The Slip's tour dates will be updated on this site as we get news.
OOOOOOH! And one more thing- The Fast Food Nation Sountrack comes out next Tuesday, with lots of tasty tracks from folks like Spoon, Friends of Dean Martinez, Dr. Dog, Nortec Collective, The Capitol Years, La Sinfonia, Elvis Perkins, Robbers on High Street, Secretary Bird, Monsieur Leroc, and The T-Bones. Check out their myspace page- www.myspace.com/fastfoodnationsoundtrack and keep our eye out for a copy from us in the mail.

So, Anne and Jo visited our good friends, Nada Surf this weekend in Boston as they played at the Head of the Charles Regatta's Row-a-palooza. Noteworthy moments- a mom and her small child knew all the words to all the songs and sang together, people were waiting in line to answer questions in exchange for free pants from Nautica, there were more free samples of food than you could shake a stick at, a rare French translation of "Fruit Fly" a la Daniel done with pout, and a great fall day.
Sparta's "Threes" hits stores today!
10/19/06
We want to be on your email lists! If you're a retail store that sends updates or email blasts, we'd love to get them. Add all the contacts in the "Contact Us" section pretty please. We love to be on the up and up.
09/26/06
We're about to take on the new Sparta record, and are pleased as peaches to do it. They're on Hollywood now, and there's already a bit of buzz about "Threes," out on October 10.
07/28/06
Mates of State just added a BUNCH of tour dates, and Nada Surf are headed out with Guster pretty soon. Don't forget to check the "Bands on Tour" section... we update every couple of days.
07/17/06
Would you like 5 copies of one of our projects for a listening station? We aim to please, and have clean copies we'd love to share. Give us a call and we'll accomodate.
Also, don't forget that next Tuesday is a big day for releases- The Long Winters, Silversun Pickups, Gran Bel Fisher, and Say Hi to Your Mom hit the shelves!
06/26/06
So we're crusing the channels the other day and see our crap all over TV's junk. Nada Surf doing a Chase commercial with a cover of "All You Need is Love," Silversun Pickups' familiar dissonant guitar sounds in a car commercial, and Jim Noir's pretty voice in an Adidas commercial that was played a kagillion times. Anne would know. She's got World Cup Fever.
