speaking to the concerns abt the charges, as one of the seemingly few ppl itt who has dealt with cops/system in adversarial circumstances as an activist, it is v common for prosecutors to overcharge so that defendants plea out rather than go to trial, this is a cheat tactic to make their conviction rates look good, everybody does it

That one jumped up out of my price range (a good thing!) but I did order a regular copy from Three Lobed to help out a little bit.

I attended Neil Hagerty's court hearing in Denver this morning. Not much info, but a few updates:- Neil was not present, but his wife+lawyers were- His attorneys say he is still not in a state to be advised/testify- Neil is still in custody- Preliminary trial is set for 5/8— Aaron Dooley (@Aye_Doolz) April 27, 2023

Damn, that sucks. Hoping they get a new one up soon that focuses on the mental health help, guessing this is a result of the issue with not being able to raise funds for legal defense of a "violent" crime.

New donation link: https://www.givesendgo.com/NeilHagertyAdditionally, Jennifer Herrema; Neil’s Royal Trux partner and family friend, has donated a free download of an audio track that combines 4 years of singular audio tracks Neil has posted to his Patreon subscribers. The combined tracks highlight Neil’s creativity while illuminating his disconnected mental state.

― Are You There God? It's a-Me, Mario (morrisp), Friday, 5 May 2023 15:56 (one year ago) link
FYI, I reached out to GoFundMe to ask about it; somewhat strangely, the chat agent asked me to confirm I wanted to refund my donation ("Keep in mind that if we issue a refund, this can not be reversed"). I said yes (so I can donate to the new fund)... not sure why some are being automatically refunded and not others.
― Are You There God? It's a-Me, Mario (morrisp), Friday, 5 May 2023 16:36 (one year ago) link
some went through before it got pulled, apparently

from jennifer herrema on fbook
We want to thank everyone who donated to the GoFundMe for Neil. Unfortunately, the campaign has been removed by GoFundMe due to their term of service that prohibits raising funds for legal defense of certain ALLEGED crimes. The funds that were not transferred prior to the campaign being canceled will be reimbursed to those individuals. I want to thank everyone who donated and if you received a refund I want to apologize for the inconvenience. We are starting a new campaign with GiveSendGo to continue to raise money for Neil’s care. This is an extremely complicated case and raises many questions that will be addressed by the lawyers once Neil is safely at the hospital. We will keep you posted as much as we can but please understand that we are not at liberty to speak openly about the case. THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY FOR SUPPORTING & BELIEVING IN NEILLove & Kindness - T & JJ

(so i guess if you didn't get a refund, your money made it to Neil and his wife)
Oh nuts... well ok, I'll make up for it with the new fund.

Update & Message from Neil
Hello to all of you and I thank you for supporting us in this difficult time. I can't comment on the situation itself now, except to say: I have been kept strong by this uncommon outpouring of charity and concern. I don't know how long it will take to see this through but I do hope to be able to thank all of you individually & personally some day.
Thanks-- from my heart-- and please keep those kind and good thoughts headed our way.In gratitude, Neil
― Mike Dixn, Friday, 30 June 2023 05:37 (eleven months ago) link
FYI, a substantial update was posted today. Sounds like Neil is doing well, and is hopeful that his legal situation will be resolved positively next year.

New label for an “extensive reissue series” (beginning w/Twin Infinitives)
― atmospheric river phoenix (morrisp), Thursday, 8 February 2024 15:52 (four months ago) link
Huh. Fingers crossed, but wasn't Fat Possum allegedly going to do the same reissue campaign back in 2018? Or was that deal just for digital/streaming of the back catalog?
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 8 February 2024 16:02 (four months ago) link
Dud! But, also, get well soon!
― scott seward, Thursday, 8 February 2024 16:13 (four months ago) link
xp Yeah, maybe that was just for streaming? In true Trux fashion, it all seems a little scattered (and not sure what they gained by "leaving" Drag City)...
― atmospheric river phoenix (morrisp), Thursday, 8 February 2024 16:42 (four months ago) link
I guess maybe DC wasn't streaming yet when they left
I have never heard of this label...
(to be fair, I'm pretty disconnected from the label scene)
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 8 February 2024 16:56 (four months ago) link
They've been around a fair old time tbh. Lately they've been reissuing Lemonheads' stuff. https://www.discogs.com/label/2051-Fire-Records
― impostor syndrome to the (expletive) max (stevie), Thursday, 8 February 2024 17:00 (four months ago) link
yeah that's Spacemen 3's old label (post-Glass) from the 80s
― Surfin' burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb (sleeve), Thursday, 8 February 2024 17:01 (four months ago) link
I've mostly known them for putting out Bardo Pond stuff and, more recently, Vanishing Twin.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 8 February 2024 17:01 (four months ago) link
they also recently did those killer Bardo Pond "covers" EPs
lol xp
wasn't Fat Possum allegedly going to do the same reissue campaign back in 2018?
They did, putting out the albums on vinyl.
― Kim Kimberly, Thursday, 8 February 2024 17:22 (four months ago) link
Did they end up doing all of them? I don't remember seeing them all come out, though I didn't look that hard since I have everything on CD anyway.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 8 February 2024 17:24 (four months ago) link
Discogs says all but the Virgin albums.
― Kim Kimberly, Thursday, 8 February 2024 17:25 (four months ago) link
Meant to say wikipedia not discogs there... and that seems to be wrong.Looks like they only reissued a few of the albums?
― Kim Kimberly, Thursday, 8 February 2024 17:33 (four months ago) link
xps: Discogs tells me I own 6 releases on Fire lol

Thank You will always be one of my favorite albums of the nineties. So fricking good. They were a lot of fun.

Had forgotten David Briggs produced Thank You until I put on my old CD just now - still sounds gd to me.

Hoping this Fire reissues project will include a vinyl issue of Sweet Sixteen.

Interestingly, the release on Fire's website says "career spanning"
The duo who refused to comply with the rules on and off stage, leaving an incomparable legacy to admire in their wake, Royal Trux announce a career spanning catalogue deal with Fire Records.

lol they aren't even doing the first album!
― Surfin' burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb (sleeve), Thursday, 8 February 2024 20:20 (four months ago) link
Well it does say “comprehensive reissue series”… maybe they plan to circle back?
― atmospheric river phoenix (morrisp), Thursday, 8 February 2024 20:22 (four months ago) link
I'll be impressed if they actually do get the Virgin albums tho. To Kim's point upthread, not even Fat Possum got to those.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 8 February 2024 20:26 (four months ago) link
Yeah Fire's been around for decades. Kinda chug along but they do good work, and that includes reissue series -- did a huge set of Giant Sand stuff years back.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 8 February 2024 20:27 (four months ago) link
Small print at the bottom of that link:
Reawakening their prolific output within a new monochrome vinyl series covering 1988-1993, they begin with their seminal deconstructed rock masterpiece Twin Infinitives.
