Summer is knocking on our door, so it's been imperative to sort out all this computer nonsense before the sunshine finds me outside on my bike for a majority of my free hours. I've finally been able to find the proper mix of online solutions that enable me to have a semi-professional online presence. Who would have known that those years of self-taught HTML in high school would still be relevant or useful 15 years later.

But since we've established a foundation for our platforms, you can look forward to a few exciting features and a couple new ways to interact with us. The most exciting thing that will be premiering soon is the online store, which will open next week when we debut Gabriel Slavitt's 'Missouri Love Call' cassette. You'll also be able to pick up some remnants of our Kickstarter surplus. It'll be a good place to keep an eye on considering the limited nature of our releases.

This blog, too, will be a great resource moving forward. You'll have an inside window as to what we're working on, who we're working with, shows we're promoting, and things we're excited about. You should also feel free to connect with our twitter account and facebook page. They're there for you primarily. Heaven knows FB is the last thing I want to think about.

Hey gang,

I hate to break the proverbial fourth wall here - I'm aware none of us are invested personally in each other and there's no real reason to care either way what happens in my personal life, but I'm doing something big and I lack the proper social media outlets to reach digital strangers. I hope you'll forgive me, and I wont make a habit of this. I need your help; either by reblogging this post, or by making a modest donation.

Right, it's another Kickstarter thing. 

Anyways, a short rundown on what we're doing here: I'm starting a small run, vinyl only record label. Our releases will be extremely limited and feature intricate artwork hand printed on a letterpress, our LP's will be lathe cut by me. There will be a tapestry of writing, art, photography and music that you won't be able to unwind. It will be a beautiful thing.
