LANDLINES - PROBLEMS 24/7 LP</div>
<br />
I ran into my buddy Scott at the movies last night. Scott's been at the heart of the music scene here in Portland for the better part of ten years and has seen the ups and downs. We agreed we're finally seeing an "up" again -- everyone who was trying to "make it" left for LA or wherever, the phony venues and show bookers trying to make a quick buck have dissipated, and those of us remaining are all in it for the sake of it. And the music is really good again. 'cause we're all friends, cause we go to each other's shows, cause we lend each other microphones and recording equipment, cause we see each other at the practice space and hear each other through the thin walls, cause all day at work we talk about what songs should go on each others albums, what shows we need to book, and what's happening this weekend.<br />
<br />
Landlines' music is centered on Dustin Scharlach's honest, off-the-cuff songwriting, which ranges topics from counting tips to house shows to the daily horoscope without fuss or affectation. Similarly, his guitar playing is both loose and "classic," alternately evoking the clean, chiming lines of Television or messy New Zealand noise-pop. Behind him the rhythm section plays with upbeat restraint, but not without the occational sideways drum beat or nimble turnaround. These songs are refreshingly straightforward, hiding nothing behind guitar effects or persona. They are not jaded nor cynical, their openness a subtle challenge to the listener -- you can choose to relate or risk hard-heartedness.<br />
<br />
Problems 24/7 was recorded at Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia and mixed by Greg Saunier of Deerhoof.<br />

Hi friends, I'm very happy to announce the opening of an art show documenting the last four years of Eggy Records. Up for the month of December at Courier Coffee (923 SW Oak), the show features posters, printed matter, drafts and the tapes themselves, as well as a Half and Half-style peg board of tapes for sale. The show is free and viewable during normal operating hours (7ish-5ish, 7 days a week). Also, Courier serves the best coffee in Portland, so it's really worth the trip. ALSO:<br />

I am currently out-of-stock of the Peter Buck LP. I will be getting another round of copies but not for a few weeks. For the sake of sanity, I'm not taking any more orders now but if you feel like getting in touch in a few weeks when I actually have the copies in my hand, please do. Thanks again to everyone who ordered copies, all of the paid-for domestic copies will ship today if they have not already shipped. I will ship a bunch of the international orders today but will run out of customs forms before I can fill them all, thanks for your patience, I will ship them as soon as I can.Eggy Recordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01531294462292256624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474245484981210139.post-29448152203831013092012-10-02T12:30:00.004-07:002012-10-06T20:46:35.056-07:00Hi!

SUNKEN COLONY - RITES OF THE NEW FLESH<br />
From the small but arguably world-class synth/drone community of Portland, OR comes a new tape from Tony Remple's Sunken Colony, the long delayed follow-up to an elusive but well loved release from the Meandering label. <i>Rites Of The New Flesh</i> stands out in its monolithic refusal of synthesizer conventions -- in the place of "blissful" tones or harmonies, we are treated to adorned space, mysterious cycles of audio detritus that begin and end in medias res, leaving no trace of narrative. Hard, talismanic music. Spells cast in static. <br />

It's been a busy summer cruising the country on tour with my pals, Lame Drivers. Thanks for coming out to the shows when we were in your 'hood. If you caught one of the killer sets by the Lames you might be interested in the kickstarter fundraiser they have been doing this summer. They are wrapping in up in a day or two but it's a cool project so I thought I would spread the word:<br />

Psychic Feline - White Walls 7"<br />
I realized recently that if I'm going to see a show, odds are it's a Psychic Feline show. I've grown addicted to their -- to my ears -- distinctly West Coast sound; a combination of bristling punk energy and psychedelic mindset that is no stranger to either hypnotic repetition on one extreme or leveling guitar noise on the other. "White Walls" is in and out with a deftly simple vocal line on top of a hiccuping beat, a riff to break things up and a momentary squall of double guitars to round everything out. Can't imagine it's much longer than two minutes. About as classic as they come. "Non Dot" on the flip is an instrumental which is good but not nearly as good as the A, 'though that's not saying much. If you are the type that enjoys a good 7", you are in for a treat. Also, their first 7" on Highfives and Handshakes is quite good as well. I am really proud that this came out of the city I live in. $5<br />

Witch Gardens - R.I.P. 7"<br />
Don't be deceived. Seattle is not actually a breezy, sleepy, laid-back place. People are mean and uptight and serious there. But you wouldn't know it from listening to Witch Gardens, who seem to have invented their own parallel Seattle-verse of whimsical characters and upbeat pop. You might actually think for a second that Seattle might be a city in Sweden judging by the purity of the band's devotion to pop music. Summer is around the corner, and honestly your synth-drone cassette tapes are going to start collecting dust when your mind switches to BBQs-and-going-to-the-river mode. $5Eggy Recordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01531294462292256624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474245484981210139.post-18884306725411277472012-04-09T11:14:00.002-07:002012-04-09T11:17:37.502-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCzjXg0D5t4Yght5gA8S_wVDH3WCJNNe-qRwdkIGm_2jgPsl7Fz6ONfhS2HZFhtlJd-zdITr690F9lqq5VMMprlDoKd2IGnrFpIl_4d5GeNiaplaaeLYTTr2pdFsIdIjCgQo9A3crVrbU/s1600/prism.gif"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 415px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCzjXg0D5t4Yght5gA8S_wVDH3WCJNNe-qRwdkIGm_2jgPsl7Fz6ONfhS2HZFhtlJd-zdITr690F9lqq5VMMprlDoKd2IGnrFpIl_4d5GeNiaplaaeLYTTr2pdFsIdIjCgQo9A3crVrbU/s1600/prism.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Jason Urick<br />MSHR<br />T Putnam Hill<br />The Polyps<br /><br />Tuesday April 10<br />Valentine's 9PM<br />FREE!<br /><br />I hear MSHR is doing some next level shit right now, come check it out!Eggy Recordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01531294462292256624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474245484981210139.post-52744069945363677072012-04-02T10:01:00.002-07:002012-04-02T10:07:22.007-07:00Come celebrate the release of FREE SPIRIT, a new, free, newsprint art magazine tonight at Tiga (14th and Prescott)!

We've coined the acronym "CSR" -- Community Supported Records -- for our venture, Mississippi CSR, which is a pay-in-advance record subscription club designed for fans of the label who have no easy way of getting the records. Subscribers will be insured copies of limited edition releases that will otherwise be hard to come by -- for example, a Prandit Prannath LP in a tiny edition of 300, and an affordable 5LP box of African guitar music in an even tinier edition of 200, both soon to be released -- and Mississippi will have the capital to start new and exciting projects. If you are interested please have a look at the website here:<br /><br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/mississippicsr/">MISSISSIPPI CSR</a><br /><br />Records will start shipping to subscribers soon, so don't delay! If you miss out on that African box I can only hope the regret doesn't keep you awake at night.<br />Thanks!<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eggyrecords/6916955571/" title="last ol ministrel man wagon by eggyrecords, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7040/6916955571_cb1f9f2d50.jpg" alt="last ol ministrel man wagon" height="400" width="500" /></a>Eggy Recordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01531294462292256624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474245484981210139.post-48415728783766984272012-02-25T05:53:00.003-08:002012-02-25T06:00:34.165-08:00TOMORROW NIGHT!<br /><br /><a href="http://leenoble.bandcamp.com/">Lee Noble</a><br /><a href="http://inezlightfoot.bandcamp.com/">Inez Lightfoot</a><br />Appendicies<br />The Polyps<br /><br />At the new <a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Little-Axe/100003405172038">Little Axe</a> record store/show space.

Very classic lo-fi pop, somewhere between the hazy melancholy of early Galaxie 500 and the off-kilter shamble of the Garbage and the Flowers at their most gentle. Lots of guitar jangle and sing-speaking, lyrics about life things. Three songs, all good, all understated and unpretentious. This one is really hitting home right now, wish I had more records like it. $7<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eggyrecords/6904366159/" title="Mad Nanna - I Hit The Wall 7" - Quemada by eggyrecords, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7050/6904366159_2057344d0c.jpg" alt="Mad Nanna - I Hit The Wall 7" - Quemada" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Mad Nanna - I Hit The Wall 7" - Quemada</span><br />With releases coming at a steady clip from these guys, the quality is unflagging, and in fact, <span style="font-style: italic;">I Hit The Wall</span> is something of surprise -- breaking from the unsettling bleakness of <span style="font-style: italic;">If I Don't Sleep Tonight</span> the two cuts here are, well, quite catchy and quite straight. It was always true of Mad Nanna that the songs themselves were excellent -- they just happened to be played in such a manner that they barely held together. Here the band are really just being a pop band and it's great. Not slick or anything, just playing the songs well and clearly. And the songs are good -- one is good and the other is great.

That formula: 1/3 pop music, 1/3 60s music, 1/3 post-punk. Two cover songs anchor the tape; one a lost power-pop gem from the Flamin' Groovies early 90s comeback album and the other a garage-psych one-off from a British band called the Fairytale. Add to that the doom-y punk of "Still Running" and the Beatles-y "Wick Is Sick" and the World of the Woolen Men starts to take shape. Their most realized work to date, 200 pro-dubbed, clear-yellow tapes with glittery sleeves, $5.<br />Email eggyrecords@gmail.com to order it.<br />And it's also available in the modern world via bandcamp <a href="http://woolenmen.bandcamp.com/">here</a>.Eggy Recordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01531294462292256624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474245484981210139.post-54295766261905889012012-02-08T21:15:00.000-08:002012-02-08T21:34:21.575-08:00Big stuff in the works but I am down with a cold.
