Esoj, I know this has nothing to do with Slumberland, but is this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CHARLOTTES-WEB-LP-INDIE-1990_W0QQitemZ390085690946QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Records?hash=item5ad2eb4642&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 the Australian band?

wow no idea why it is spaced like that
It looks neat though.
― Evan, Thursday, 27 August 2009 04:14 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm strongly guessing not, i've never seen or heard of that record before & it doesn't appear in any of their discogs. might be worth emailing the seller to find out where it was pressed as none of the perth CW's records were released outside of aus (other than on import obv)

Yeah. I only saw a cass. of Charlottes Web stuff, that I knew was them, but it went for over $200 a few yrs ago. Figured that wasn't them. Slumberland should reissue that Easter stuff, since very few noticed the Summer Suns reissue.

i need that summer suns comp, ta for reminding me

oh and the champagne socialists single

I am annoyed with the popularity of the Pains causing the Searching for the Now 7" they're on to be out-of-print, my collection is incomplete. The School are so good, I hope they keep releasin' stuff. Also Brown Recluse. Lodger I can't get with.

holy shit $50 at tonevendor. wish i'd bought a physical copy now
― king boy pamito (electricsound), Thursday, 27 August 2009 05:29 (fifteen years ago) link
I guess indie kids need something to pay mad money for since London Weekend is getting a re-release.

lool
having (some) stuff go up in value is literally the only thing i miss about buying physical vinyl

I can tell you moving my record collection up from Houston last week made me want to chuck it out the window all along the drive home just I wouldn't have to carry it inside.

brilliant colors album very disappointing... the shitty recording doesn't do the songs any favours, but then the lack of tunes don't do the songs any favours either

awww bummer! did you like any of the singles? they live in my neighborhood, and i like 'em!

i liked 'highly evolved'.. tbf i had high expectations.. and i feel their ideas are spread verrry thinly over an album's worth of songs

Oh is this the "new stuff" promised on their myspace? I got all excited about a reunion for a minute!
― Colonel Poo, Thursday, 28 January 2010 08:18 (fourteen years ago) link
The Slumberland website seems to make it sound like simply unreleased material; I think they'd make a point about it being "new" if it was. And if there was any time for them to have a reunion, they would have been the "special guests" at the 20th anniversary concert in brooklyn in november! I mean, how do you have a 20th anniversary show with unannounced special guests, and then reveal it to be your most popular current artist? Pains of Being Pure at Heart are fine, but thats such a tease! I thought It would have been Black Tambourine or Velocity Girl...
― Evan, Thursday, 28 January 2010 23:35 (fourteen years ago) link
Well, one of BT is 3000 miles away and scared of flying.
While appearing together onstage wasn't possible, WAV files are easier to pass around transatlantically...

supposed to be a west coast reunion show or two, and henry's dress and velocity girl were rumored to be on the bill!
― 69, Friday, 29 January 2010 00:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Well Black Tambourine was just one example. I would love to see Henry's Dress or Velocity Girl, but I'm on the damn freezing east coast.
― Evan, Friday, 29 January 2010 02:07 (fourteen years ago) link
I kinda wish I hadn't JUST bought the previous Black Tambourine CD with all the songs.

I've had the CD for about 10 years, I'll probably still buy the new release but on vinyl instead.
