I am honored to bring you our July Label of the Month, Magic Bullet Recordings. Magic Bullet has put out so many incredible bands since their beginning in 1996 including Boy Sets Fire who “peer-pressured” Brent into putting out their first album. Since that first release, they have released records from a diverse number of bands from This Will Destroy You, Austin Lucas, Doomriders, Golden City, Boris, Ringfinger, and later this year, they will begin reissuing the Christie Front Drive catalog (stoked for this, used to see CFD back in the mid 90’s). Magic Bullet was started and continues to run on D.I.Y. ethics. And in their 13 year history, the label has long been releasing vinyl. Brent was kind enough to discuss what he looks for in a band, why he puts out vinyl, thoughts on variants, and much more.

Also worth noting is Magic Bullet’s recent announcement that they will be giving away much of their digital catalog away for free through a partnership with gimmesound.com who shares ad revenue with labels and artists for their legal, free downloads.

Thanks Brent for taking the time to answer these questions. Everyone please take a second to check out the feature, check out the label, and hell download some of their tracks for free.

ANCHOR ARMS “Milligrams” 7″ black vinyl

This is the first release by one of our favorite bands, Anchor Arms. They self-released this 7″ out of an edition of 1,000 copies and after the 50 they sent us are gone, this record will pretty much be history. The pressing is all on black vinyl and if you haven’t already done so, put this band on your radar. They are on Kiss of Death after putting out some killer records on Fail Safe and if you are into what Kiss of Death or No Idea puts out, you will love this band.

PELICAN “Ephemeral” LP black vinyl

So as the confusion drags out, I have some news. Although Southern Lord had told me that we would be getting a color of vinyl that wasn’t the color they were selling on their site, after we received a box of black vinyl, we had to ask what was up. Southern Lord said that there were issues at the pressing plant and as a result we will be getting gold vinyl for all of you who pre-ordered the color vinyl. Hopefully you didn’t also order that from Southern Lord. We also have copies on black vinyl now so if you already have gold and want black, we can swap it out. We have the black vinyl in stock and they are ready to ship. I was told we would have the gold vinyl late this week or early next week. So sorry about all the confusion. We will hopefully have all this resolved by week’s end next week. Get the black vinyl though if you have not ordered copies yet.

We got in a bunch of great records this week and here are 2 notables. The Farewell Continental is pretty crazy because from what I understand, they took a 10″ picture disc, cut down the sides and made it into a 7″ square record. That had to have been a super pain in the ass. The edges are a bit rough, but the audio is intact. The Anchor Arms’ debut 7″ arrived yesterday and it looks like these are the last 50 copies besides a few copies here and there with a few different distributors. We will be posting it shortly so make sure you get this and the Farewell Continental; both will be gone before you know it.

JON SNODGRASS/ CORY BRANAN split CASSETTE

Friends, we are so excited to share with you this split recording from Jon Snodgrass and Cory Branan. Jon should need no introduction as he has been writing and recording some of the greatest records with Drag the River, Armchair Martian, and on his own. Cory is one of my favorite singer/songwriters not on Suburban Home and am so honored to be able to put out this record. These 7 songs were recorded in Colorado with Jon and Cory playing on each other’s songs. Cory contributes 3 originals, Jon contributes 2 originals and 2 covers. The record is absolutely amazing. I hope you enjoy the stream and if you do, please consider sharing it with a friend. Post it on your blog, on Myspace, and if you don’t mind, please retweet this.

Remember that there is no CD version of this release. We are only doing LP, Cassette, and digitally. The LP and Cassette come with a download coupon. The LP is out of an edition of 1,000 copies (500 on Sun Colored Vinyl, 500 on Moon colored vinyl) and the cassette is out of an edition of 200 copies. For the time being, you will get a poster with your purchase. We have the cassettes in stock and will have the vinyl mid week next week. Get this before they are all gone.

I am excited to share with you our July 2009 Vinyl Collector of the Month, Cory Pelc. Cory has been mailordering from Suburban Home since the early 2000’s, but I have gotten to know him so much more since he has been dating our very own Seabron Ward. And for those of you wondering, it isn’t because he’s dating Seabron that I have considered asking him to be our vinyl collector of the month, it actually deterred me from asking him until now because I didn’t want people getting the wrong idea. I picked Cory because it has become obvious over the past year that Cory is passionate about vinyl and as you read on, you will see that, too. I actually learned a lot about Cory’s wide taste in music from this feature and hope you read on as Cory explains his love for the format, records he would love to own, what he would like to see pressed on vinyl, his recent purchases and more.

Thanks Cory for taking the time to do this feature and thanks for supporting independent music.
