i wanted to put a quick post up here in case some of you weren't aware of a big, exciting new project that we have coming out in a couple of months' time. as you know, mirror/dash is a thurston & kim project. they put out a 7" on ecstatic peace 10+ years ago as well as a limited-to-100 12" about 2 years ago. mirror/dash is contributing to three lobed recordings the band's first "widely" available material to be a part of our upcoming "modern containment" cd series. the entire artist list in the series should be of interest to SY fans -
bardo pond hush arbors kinski mirror/dash sun city girls sunburned hand of the man matt valentine & erika elder with the bummer road wooden wand and the omen bones band there's more information on this series up at http://www.threelobed.com/tlr/containment.html - feel free to hop on over if you're interested. this entire series is going to be awesome (all of the contributions we've heard so far have been top notch) and the discs will likely become hard to track down once all of the subscription slots have been filled up. don't sleep on it! thanks for looking! |

in other news on that front, all of the masters we have in hand totally rule and they're all rather lengthy (with the wooden wand disc being the only one under thirty minutes). also, there might be more to the subscription than meets the eye. i'm not willing to explain what that means, though. magik markers fans should check out the smokin' awesome disc we put out a couple of weeks ago for pete nolan's spectre folk. it's great. |

No, that's plenty juicy enough for me. I either didn't know or had forgotten that SSG and Hush Arbors were the first to come. I can't even begin to imagine what "more to the subscription than meets the eye" might entail but it's got me excited.
June can't come soon enough...... |

agreed. we have all of the parts off in the mail to the plant right now on the hush arbors disc and the artwork on the SCG is about a week-ish away from completion. all of the artwork and whatnot is in place and ready to roll on the second batch of discs already as well (as well as half of the third)... |

as a bit of an update, the first 2 discs in this series are currently out and 85% of them have hit the mail to subscribers (with everything in the mail by the end of the day tomorrow). the next mailing will be coming up in about 5ish weeks.
the mirror/dash master is now in hand. it's a "tidy" little 37 minute track titled "i can't be bought." to anyone still interested in subscribing and hopping in the series, we still have some open slots. |

Woof woof! Me too. Giving the Sun City Girls one a quick spin before dinner. It was recorded all the way back in 1994 which I think was probably their best period (judging by the stuff I've heard)

I think it'll end up being a really good deal for these discs once we have them all. They all seem like they are pushing the definition of EP to it's limits. 30 minutes is pretty much album length and it's quality that counts.

I didn't know mirror/dash was part of that box set thing. It's pretty pricey though as far as I remember....it's all lathe cut stuff I think.

i'm glad that everyone's been digging the discs so far. the SCG is a nice archival blast. the hush arbors blows me away every time. most of the discs in the series are over 30 minutes long so go ahead and get used to that trend. if anyone has any other series questions or anything, feel free to fire away with them. again, i'm glad everyone's enjoying - that's the most important part. the next mailing is coming up around the last week of july. the culprits - mv/ee and the bummer road, sunburned hand of the man as well as wooden wand and the omen bones band. |

hope to get these soon. just ordered them today. if you think about it, it's not a bad deal. less than $10 a disc. i'm sure most of us spend more than that on music per month...
