Yeah, what's a punk doing up at this hour? Good question. Unfortunately I don't have a good answer. Perhaps I'm taking the "EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM" saying to heart. hmmmmm....

It seems like the world is turning upside down as terror in the heartland continues on Orange alert. I just flew from London Heathrow and watched first hand the insanity of high level security. Military with machine guns in plain sight always is a diversion to the ol' changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. But all is fine and dandy right? Well, I'm not quite sure, but we still have to move forward. Music is fortunately such a solace for many and definitely for myself.

I'm glad to be involved, no matter how small a part. I love music... And thankfully it's a distraction that keeps me sane. Sometimes I pinch myself to see if this is all real. Meaning, why did I get so lucky to be able to be involved in music for my career. Not only my own music, but the chance to release these amazing other bands that I love so much.

We've got tons of great music coming out. So please check out the tunes on the site. We've got MP3's for everyone. And it looks like we're going to put out the new QUEERS record. What an honor. If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me an email or you can call asian man and ask me via the phone.
Peace always,
Mike Park
