Forgot to post this here as well: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/52 ... new-record

TJ's considering putting up one of only three test pressings for his first vinyl single "Driftin'" b/w "Don't Need the Drugs" so keep your eyes peeled.

FYI - kickstarter was apparently hacked so change your passwords. They claim no financial data was stolen but passwords, addresses, phones and emails were all accessed

I was thinking about getting the Pearl Jam one but I can't be dropping $400 right now.
Hey, it's just a fucking record. Chill.

I would almost rather have one of the yellow ones than an artist edition. That being said I'm not in the market for a music player and really have no interest in Pono regardless.

I'm putting out a band called DEFY ME on my label, Rabid Wolf Records. We are/were doing CDs, but everybody seems to want their EP on vinyl (which is much, much more expensive). If I were to do a crowdfunding campaign for DEFY ME's EP, who would pledge? Crowdfunding would be just about the only way for me to get the funds needed to make it happen. Opinions?

I can't say who would and who wouldn't pledge, but if the music is good and the price tiers are good for "rewards", you'll have no problem reaching whatever goal you're setting.

I find Kickstarters for bands travel well if the music is good. Good luck.

Cool! We're going to discuss it then. Thanks for the feedback!

This seems like a cool project. Never heard of this guy, but sounds like he had a weird life.

Thanks for the link. He has a great voice. I'm inclined to go digging now.

One of my old favorite bands are releasing a box set with their pre-major label records.

I haven't followed this thread, so apologies if this has already been posted. Dominic Davis' wife Rachael has set up Team Holy Crap! for the making of a new ep. The stuff I've listened to so far is darned good and she's set up some pretty cool exclusives-- http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/rachaeldavismusic

I know that most of you don't know him, but my friend Brando's house was badly damaged by a fire a few days ago and he lost almost everything in the fire, including his three cats who were unable to be revived.His apartment was located above PJ's Lager House, a venue here in Detroit. To help out, anyone who shows me the receipt that they donated $20 or more to the campaign will get some great records and/or posters in return. The first 20 people who donate and show me the receipt will also get a copy of the 'Pathetic Sounds Of Detroit' LP, featuring the first appearance of THE ILL ITCHES on vinyl.


Thanks for considering helping out!

The Flaming Lips are doing another cover album. If it's anywhere as good as the Dark Side Of The Moon, this will be spectacular:

"With A Little Help From My Fwends"

Check it out. I went for the autographed LP. Because sometimes I'm a sucker for scribbles.

Not a band but it could hold their music..... (Acoustic Sounds posted the link on their FB page)
