I am really pumped to announce that the Small Wars 7″ Vinyl is finally here! Vinyl Record Pressing out of Florida did a fantastic job and they look beautiful. All pre-orders will begin shipping tomorrow and will finish up in to next week. I will be including some freebies with orders so look for those. Check out pics of this vinyl, below. If you haven’t purchased one yet, they are now $5 in the webstore here and will begin shipping once the orders roll in. The band will also have a bunch of these to sell at shows and such. Thanks again for supporting IVM this past year and for checking out out all the label bands. There will be another digital label release from Grandpa Loves Rhinos and possibly Mainframe then a break will take place for any physical albums. I am also going to begin work on “Family & Friends Sampler 4” because they are just so dang fun to do.

Two of Five Iron Frenzy’s classic releases, “Quantity Is Job #1” Ep and “All The Hype That Money Can Buy” are both available on unique colored vinyl from SMLXL Vinyl right here. Read below for pressing info. Be like me and throw your money at one of the worst bands possible. This vinyl sucks so bad that the vile stench of garbage will pour forth from your record player upon first spin. Seriously, FIF smells so bad that not even the fire department can douse these flames of crap. Use these records as an oversized Frisbee although your dog will probably get sick from catching one, as a coaster which will probably break any glass placed upon it, or just use it as a flimsy weapon that will most likely get your harmed or killed in a fight with gangsters. Sorry FIF, I have better ways of spending my money like buying that super cool Justin Bieber record! Speaking of FIF, I have a new music video that you can find below, it’s titled “Baby” and I think you’ll dig it.
The Wedding and SMLXL Vinyl are releasing the band’s debut and “Polarity” on vinyl for the first time. Check both of those releases out here (you can buy both for $44).

Check out some of the sale items from SMLXL Vinyl right here. They also have the fantastic 2010 release “Suburba” from Alt Rock kings, House of Heroes, for only $15! You can’t beat that. Get it here. I can’t wait to get my FIF “Our Newest Album Ever” Vinyl soon.
I am seriously considering selling off my CD collection. I am interested in selling in bulk and not by individual one by one CDs. Groups of 25 CDs or more would be preferable. I have a lot more indie titles and other CDs that didn’t scan in through my app I use. Continued →
A really great article on the current explosion of the digital streaming marketplace and it’s subsequent takeover of standard music purchases can be read here (Billboard Article). It is interesting how much things have changed in the past decade and half. Continued →
