Slumberland

wow no idea why it is spaced like that

It looks neat though.

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)

xpost

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

I knew there were more Prodigy kids posting here besides me and Keith!

(Also, I just bought about half a dozen new Slumberland releases)

sweet

my fave releases from the third wave of slumberland:

both albums by the lodger
searching for the now v1 (for the roy moller side)
sexy kids - sisters are forever
bricolage lp
crystal stilts - love is a wave/sugarbaby
liechtenstein - survival strategies lp
searching for the now v5

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

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.

Mail it to me!

there and back again lane just recently posted some charlottes web stuff and he says there was only 2-7"ers and 2 eps.
the lodger are so good. like sneaky feelings if david pine had written all of the songs.

the lodger give me a headache.

the devon williams 45 is a glorious piece of leamington spa-aping shimmery wonderment

bats + sarandon/membranes 45s out now wooo

S: Sleepyhead 45 w/ the b-side cover of Game Theory's "Like a Girl Jesus". So great.

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

i hope they pull a vivian girls and follow it up with a cracker

woo Black Tambourine reish with unreleased trax out end of march

YES!

On vinyl, too!

if that mf comes with a dl code then i'll spring for the vinly

Oh is this the "new stuff" promised on their myspace? I got all excited about a reunion for a minute!

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...

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...

tru

supposed to be a west coast reunion show or two, and henry's dress and velocity girl were rumored to be on the bill!

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.

I kinda wish I hadn't JUST bought the previous Black Tambourine CD with all the songs.

Yeah I was holding out for some reason, apparently luckily.

capitalist bastards. i'm totally buying it.

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

"Features four new songs that the band reunited to record, including Buddy Holly and Suicide covers."

the new Lorelei track has the most beautiful guitar sounds on it

some of the vocal is a touch annoying but overall it's pretty sweet

lorelei album is pretty sweet on first listen. "hole punch" is just gorgeous

I liked the one track I heard from it, definitely. I'll check out the whole thing soon!
