line. Nice......

The ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD vinyl and cd are now available individually. For those
of you who didn't want to get the package deal, this is your chance to pick up
the record. The first pressing of vinyl is 500 units on opaque HOT PINK. We've
already sold 200 through mailorder and the band will get 200 copies, leaving us
with just 100, so hurry and act now to get this first pressing before it runs
out.

Had a chance to listen to the new Kepi Ghoulie album and the new RIPTIDES album
over the weekend. Both great pop punk records. Kepi has such a unique style
all to his own and the new record continues to bring his fresh sound with a bit
more keyboard/synthesizer than his previous efforts. Currently Kepi is in
Europe as he will be gearing up for a long tour next month, but for now he is
currently doing solo shows and gallery showings for his paintings. Good luck
over there Kepi. Be safe my friend.

The Riptides new record is so bubblegum poppy. It reminds me of kids in leather
jackets listening to the Ramones. Produced by Mass Giorgini, the master of the
pop punk recordings.

And again, the never ending onslaught of releases comes forth. I often wonder
if it's too much stuff? I hope not. Hopefully you trust my taste and will
embrace each new release for it's own unique self.

Be well friends.
peace, mike park
