I could not be more excited to formally announce the release of the new sybris album and box set and the new Okay (Marty Anderson) box set. Hot-foil stamped slipcases, silver vinyl, a first-of-its-kind box set ornament, numbered and limited to 300 sets each. Pre-order from our front page or on Bandcamp. The third sybris album is a long time coming and well worth the wait. The other 5 albums in these two sets have been cult favorites for almost 20 years and are finally on vinyl for the first time. Okay - Marty Anderson

Indie record label from CA, originally in operation from 1998-2011. Released records by The Wrens, Xiu Xiu, The Mountain Goats, Frog Eyes, Pinback, Sunset Rubdown, and more.

On what would've been her 52nd birthday, we remember Elea Tenuta of Thingy (whose "To The Innocent" was AK003) and Heavy Vegetable (whose "Frisbie" is one of my all-time favorite records). She was blessed with an astonishing depth of talent and charisma. Rest in peace.

Check out this spotlight on sybris as singer Angela Mullenhour appears on the Local H podcast. As they mention, "Gold on Hold" silver & gold LP/CD, along with the silver LP box set of all three of their albums (2005's s/t LP, 2008's "Into the Trees", and the new "Gold on Hold") will be out September 6 and is available for pre-order now on Bandcamp.

Angela Mullenhour’s voice is like a force of nature. And nature is kinda scary. Luckily, her band Sybris is the sort of band that can keep up with that force — loud, bold, and capable of summoning up

If you're driving home from Mom's or just sticking around the house, there's a new Secret Handshake radio show on Mixcloud (link below). I was not as intimate with Steve as so many of you were and just playing song by the Pixies (who were my first contemporary music purchase) hardly feels like any kind of tribute, so the show is not that. His advocacy for justice and fairness, the prosperity of independent music, and the realities of corporate greed inspired me greatly, so I decided to use the show and his passing as a vehicle to talk about some of the problems we face in the music business. (I mistakenly left Touch and Go out in my comments at around 22 minutes in. Props.)

Thanks Pitchfork! CarColors Read here:

“The song (and album) is also about making the album itself. It’s about death, maybe obviously, but it’s really about my dumb life.”

I've started a new radio show/channel on Mixcloud called Brownbutter's Secret Handshake. I'm trying to do something a little different than what I do at Dandelion Radio (for 18 months now). Still eclectic, but less tethered to new music and more mindful of traveling together through these weird times. I'll have a free 3-hour show every month (Brownbutter's Secret Handshake) plus another 2-hour show for subscribers (starting in April with the first episode of Brownbutter's Safe Space) and occasional expanded content from existing shows. Mixcloud pays all the artists while allowing me to collect a small percentage plus tips.

I've started a new freeform radio show on Mixcloud called Brownbutter's Secret Handshake. I'm trying to do something a little different than what I do at Dandelion Radio (for 18 months now). Still eclectic, but less tethered to new music and more mindful of traveling together through these weird times. I'd like it to be radio for listeners who want to be excited by different kinds music but also rely on the DJ to take care of them and make the show vibe. I'll have a free 3-hour show every month (Brownbutter's Secret Handshake) plus another 2-hour show for subscribers (starting in April with the first episode of Brownbutter's Safe Space) and occasional expanded content from existing shows. Mixcloud pays all the artists while allowing me to collect a small percentage plus tips.
