I am trying to clear space for new records, so until May 9th shipping in Canada is free on orders over $45. The usual 4% fee will still be charged for all pay pal transactions. Quantities are limited and availability changes quickly (sometimes before I can change the website). Prices for pick-up and Lost and Found remain the same.
Shipping on LPs is usually around $10 in Canada, so this is a good deal. Check out the facebook group or divorcerecords.ca for information. Thanks.
Vinyl IS awesome and so is the idea behind this art show:
ARGYLE FINE ART PRESENTS:
Vinylview
On July 10, 2008, Argyle Fine Art will host a new and exciting exhibition combining both the musical and visual arts. Artists from all backgrounds are encouraged to participate.
Applicants are asked to create artworks using vinyl records, and if desired, record sleeves. This is an open call to all visual art forms; artists are not restricted to using specific mediums. You may for instance paint directly onto the vinyl, or you may use the record as material for sculpture. Recycled records will be provided by the gallery free of charge, and are currently available for pick-up.
Although this is an open call, ALL works will be accepted at the discretion of the gallery. Applicants must send a jpeg of completed works to Argyle Fine Art via e-mail by June 19th. Artists that have been chosen will be notified ASAP, once we have received their proposal.
Accepted artworks will be sold at a retail price chosen by the artist, and the gallery will assume 50% commission from this price. The gallery will then donate 10% of its profits to a TBA charity in support of music education.
This show will run from July 10th until August 4th. Artists will be required to pick up any unsold work after the show has ended.
p.s.-if you are a musician and would like to play at this reception, let us know. we would be interested in hearing from YOU.
Please telephone or email the gallery if you have any questions in regards to show requirements.
Runs from Thursday, July 10, 2008 to Monday, August 4, 2008

The album has charted on CAPR Radio so far - we are waiting to begin pushing tracking to correspond with touring but that’s a good sign in light of their upcoming show in Sydney. Regardless, please feel free to request songs from the album at your local campus station (if you are in Canada they have a copy now). And thanks of course to CAPR for the spins!
The Coast New Music Issue
And the guys were noted as one of the 17 next big things in today’s New Music issue of the Coast.
Indie Can Podcast
You can also tune into Indie Can podcast 61 to hear some tracks from the album as well - thanks to Joe again for including the Fuzz!
Bad News
P.S. He needs a new drummer too…….ugh….
Interested - email info (at) fhttrecords.com
Please be available for touring if you do get in touch.
Thanks
C’mon are most definitely a band best experienced (and understood) in concert, but if you insist on wussing out and going the pre-recorded route, your best bet is picking up Bottled Lightning on vinyl. The band will offer the album in a hand-crafted silver vinyl version at their gigs, and Blurton says that this hard rocking retro format is truly the best means of experiencing his band in the raw.
The new album is tight - looking forward to grabbing some hand-crafted silver vinyl [???].
If you like rock you deserve to treat yourself to this show.
last time I saw them in town at the Seahorse still remains one of the best live shows I’ve seen in these parts. Ever.
I am a fan of his blog IndieHQ and this interview provides some insight into the running of his label, Suburban Home Records as well while sharing his passion for vinyl. Good quick read. He has a cute kid too!
First off you missed a great set last Saturday when the guys opened for Pride Tiger. Not only did they clearly win over some new fans they also managed to keep the attention of some of the guys from Pride Tiger most of their set.
In regards to their album Beware! The Fuzz [I am now half thinking the title is also a warning to bands lacking in the live show department] we have the album mastered - although there may be one correction being made*, a rough up of the cover art [below] and are just waiting to have the album sent off - we have to figure out of the vinyl and CDs will be pressed at the same place.
We hope to have the CDs and records back by the end of July, watch for some early chances to preview the album and get a copy in August before a September release and supporting tour to Ontario and back at least in late September/October.
*Once that is figured out we’ll be posting the tracks on FHTT’s site
Apparently some people out there would think From Here To There was screwed before we got started [mind you we don’t expect to sell 150,000 albums per year, but still c’mon] [ASIDE: C’mon has a new site as well - go see that - even though they have nothing to do with this post]:
Fortune’s Dennis Hau on the economics behind Burgendy Records’ contracts with older artists…Because it [Sony BMG’s Burgandy classic imprint] has a full-time staff of only about two dozen employees, it expects to put out no more than two or three albums a year.”
They don’t seem to have learned anything about indie frugality. Sony BMG’s Burgandy classic imprint has 24 employees to work 2-3 new releases a year. Next idea…
I don’t even want to think about what I could accomplish with the help of 23 other people [or why I would need that many to put out the same number of albums Joi and I will this year]. Fuck.
We have some of the sharp looking [just sounds ok*] VKNGS 12″s
The also sharp looking A History Of debut EP Victory Atlas is now here - Paul Hammond did a very nice layout on that one [I have some posts in the works regarding design and music - Paul is just one local talent that shines in his designs for local bands]
And it was no scene day here as we got some of everything in:
