San Francisco's Grass Widow Has Released A Ten Out Of Ten LP

So I order records for a store in San Diego. Today I was totally pumped to recieve this thousand dollar order from Revolver Distribution. It was like Christmas. I ordered a copy of everything for myself, and I went kinda nuts haha. Anyway, the highlight of my day was listening to the new Grass Widow lp. Mother of god. It is the most perfect 'album listen' I've had in a long time. Seriously, my listen went like this: side A, side B, side A, side B, side A, and then I ran out of time and went home. I know there's good and great songs on tons of records but the way these songs all fit and flow on this record is rare. Wow. Sorry I'm trippin'.

San Francisco's Make A Mess Records, which put this out is on a roll with records recently released by Brilliant Colors and Nodzzz. I can't wait to hear what's next from them. And I most definitely can't wait to see Grass Widow live. SHIT. The California goldrush continues...

Ye Olde Maids Mini Baby Sample From Upcoming Art Fag Release

I'm pretty fucking jazzed about this upcoming split 12" I'm releasing on my label Art Fag Recordings. It's Fantastic Magic on one side and Ye Olde Maids on the other. Fantastic Magic is from America's Finest City and Ye Olde Maids is from The City Of Brotherly Love. I'm so god damned jazzed that I'm going to give you a mini sample. Below you will find the bomb ass track "Theme From A Car Commercial" by Ye Olde Maids. If you are not satisfied by this mini little baby sample you can head that ass over to the Art Fag Recordings Myspace and find two MORE songs from this soon to be released 12". See ya man.





Oh!! You know what? I'm also going to hit you with the new xerox logo for Art Fag. Cux I'm proud and shit. Andrew Miller of Planet People did this for me and I'm grateful. You can find the Art fag Recordings Myspace and the Planet People blog on the Blogroll to the right. See ya later man.
