First of all, thanks very much to all of you who wrote me with comforting words about our distribution woes. I appreciate the kindness. Lots of you ordered tons of stuff, so thank you thank you thank you...
And it looks like the demise of our past distributor is now public. There was a post on punknews on Tuesday regarding the matter and so the flood gates are open. Interesting to read all the email about the matter from other labels as we all vent our frustrations. RAAAARR...(that's me making a lion sound) It seems like everyone is owed money, but I seem to be in the lead in terms of how much is owed. YAY!! I am the winner.

But yup.. so is life right? We'll pull through, but it’s definitely gonna be a tough few months ahead for us. I hope this doesn't come across as begging, but just a friendly reminder that if there is a record, CD, patch, button, sticker, t-shirt, hoodie that you were thinking about getting. Ummmm.. Get it now please. Plus, we're way cheaper than other places. Our stuff makes great gifts and isn't back to school right around the corner?

Mailorder is really the only true form of DIY distribution. Hopefully we can continue to peak interest in all the releases we've been doing and get you guys to order. ....
THE APERS-"You Are Only As Strong As The Table You Dance On" is shipping now. From the NETHERLANDS, this band is considered one of the best and most respected pop punk bands out of Europe. They just finished a tour of the US that ended at INSUBORDINATION FEST, so hopefully a ton of you saw them. Anyways, great record/great band.

BOMB THE MUSIC INDUSTRY-"Get Warmer" 12" vinyl is back in stock. This is the third pressing and this time we have pressed it on clear vinyl with a green splatter. Looks super cool. WOO HOO!! And by the way, the SCRAMBLES vinyl is shipping too. Just in case you didn't know this already.

I've been trying to build up our mailorder by ordering releases from common artists, so that we can be a one stop shop for many of you. Here's an example: We have 3 Chris Murray CD'S on Asian Man and then there are 2 others that Chris released himself, so now I've got all 5 in our mailorder. We also now have CDs and vinyl from Kepi’s previous band, The Groovie Ghoulies. Isn't that wonderful? Well, I'm off to do some more fun work. Be well friends and have a joyous weekend.
Peace, mike park
