USPS returned your packages to us for a host of reasons (unclaimed, insufficient address, etc.).  If you want your records, we’ll need to make proper arrangements.  Drop me a line and we’ll sort it out.

Thanks!

Jared from LYMBYC SYSTYM just edited together a music video for “Narita,” a track off of Field Studies (split 12″/CD with THIS WILL DESTROY YOU).  All footage is culled from the band’s recent Asian tour.  He did a fantastic job with this and I hope you enjoy it.  Copies of the 12″/CD are in the webstore or you can grab it off of iTunes here.

Crazy, huh?  We’re definitely pumped for this one and super proud of the boys for continuing to expand into new realms and onto the radars of new listeners.  Tickets are on sale now and you can get all of the dates plus a nice blurb about the Moving on the Edges of Things 12″ here.

With all of the August titles and mailorder taken care of, we move on to the next batch in production:

• CHARLES MANSON “Air” LP (slight delay at the plant that’s been resolved)
• MADE OUT OF BABIES “The Ruiner” LP (at the plants)
• THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS “When The World Comes Down” LP (at the plants)
• THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS “Bad Eggs” 10″ (at the plants later this week)

The MANSON LP should hit stores in September, the rest in October.  All 4 will be offered at the same time in the webstore (likely sometime in September). Stay tuned.

Magic Bullet skater Brandon “The Creature” Smithson added mixed martial arts to his ever-expanding list of activities over the course of the past several months.  For his second amateur fight (held July 24 in Stafford, VA), Brandon walked to “VVe Are The End,” the brand new 7″ from INTEGRITY on Magic Bullet.  About half a minute later, he was standing victorious over another young man that just got his lights turned out quickly.

We couldn’t be more proud of Brandon for his big win and couldn’t be more stoked to have INTEGRITY as the soundtrack to the evening.  Enjoy the footage (and Mark LOSING HIS MIND in the background – ha!):

As announced earlier, Air, the new album from CHARLES MANSON, will be in stores everywhere August 10, 2010 on CD format and August 3, 2010 on iTunes and other digital/mobile providers.  The LP has been pushed to September after we discovered a lacquer issue that’s since been resolved.  We’ll keep you updated accordingly.

Within the next 24 hours, the CD will be available for mailorder in the webstore.  Interested parties take note.  I’ve also posted “East Bound Train,” a preview track in Charlie’s band page here on the site.  Facebook users can follow the album’s progress here.  Finally, please feel free to check out the trailer/teaser we put together for the album and pass along to folks you think would enjoy Charlie’s music.  Thanks!

We are not Amazon.

We are not Interpunk.

Magic Bullet’s mailorder “division” is a 1-person operation: me. As such, when over 1000 orders are received all at once (per our last update), it takes quite a bit of time for that one, singular person (me) to pack all 1000+ orders and ship them at the post office.  I’ve been steadily running batches of orders to the post office every other day since the last webstore update and will continue to so until all orders of filled.

We’ve been in business for 14 years.  You will get your order.  You just need to chill out.

Every time you write and say “it’s been two weeks since I ordered records, where are they?,” the time it takes me to write back you and everyone else like you takes away from time that I could be pulling the tape gun across all of your packages.

I apologize if this sounds “mean” or “bitter” in any way.  That is not the intent.  I’d just rather tape up your boxes than answer unnecessary inquiries about a $10 record that was ordered a week ago… I hope you understand.

Thanks.

Here’s a detail photo of the brand new THIS WILL DESTROY YOU “Moving on the Edges of Things” picture disc 12″ we’re offering in the webstore now and in stores August 10, 2010.

These are extremely limited edition, so you may want to act fast.

Anyway, this is a standard picture disc with CMYK slicks. Christopher Royal King handled the layout duties once again on this one and it looks super clean as always.

Look for THIS WILL DESTROY YOU on tour with AUTOLUX this August here in the US.  They’ll have these in tow, along with their entire Magic Bullet back catalog.

This is an ad I just wrapped up for Decibel #71, which will be on your newsstand August 5.

Five days later, we’re going to have one of our biggest release dates ever, both in quantity and the overall heavy-hitterness involved.

If the type of person to support your local independent record store, first of all, bless your heart. But secondly, make sure your local shop is stocked on the following so that you can snatch them up:

• CHARLES MANSON “Air” CD/LP
• CHRISTIE FRONT DRIVE “S/T” reissue LP/DVD
• FORENSICS “Things To Do When You Should Be Dead Anyway” reissue LP (Aaron Horkey letterpress edition)
• INTEGRITY “VVe Are the End” 7″
• MEDITATIVE SECT “Laceration Points” LP
• THIS WILL DESTROY YOU “Moving on the Edges of Things” picture disc 12″

Most of these items are in the webstore now as well.  Enjoy.

Jason posted an old SUPPRESSION track from 1997 on his blog recently.  He wasn’t feeling generous or anything… he simply forgot to include it on the 1993-2000 discography CD the first time around.  The track is “Gangland Bodystack’em/Human Fear” from the “Reality: Part 2″ comp on Deep Six back in the day. Anyway, take advantage of his lapse here.  Enjoy.

An ungodly amount of new items have been added to the webstore:

• CHRISTIE FRONT DRIVE “S/T” CD+DVD
• CHRISTIE FRONT DRIVE “S/T” LP+DVD PRE-SALE (Black)
• CHRISTIE FRONT DRIVE “S/T” LP+DVD PRE-SALE (Blue/White mix)
• CHRISTIE FRONT DRIVE t-shirt (limited to 100)
• FORENSICS “Things To Do When You Should Be Dead Anyway” letterpressed LP (4 variations)
• INTEGRITY “VVe Are The End” 7″ PRE-SALE
• INTEGRITY “VVe Are The End” 7″ + T-Shirt PRE-SALE (Grey vinyl /100)
• MEDITATIVE SECT “Laceration Points” LP (Purple vinyl /150)
• THIS WILL DESTROY YOU “Moving on the Edges of Things” 12″ (/1000)
• BRENT EYESTONE “Laceration Points” Limited Edition T-Shirt (/75)

Please note that the INTEGRITY and CHRISTIE FRONT DRIVE vinyl is PRE-SALE in nature.  This means that we’ve approved the test presses, but the final slabs of vinyl have not been received at Magic Bullet just yet.  We should have them within a few weeks and will ship all orders for them at that point.  If you are not a patient person, please do not do the pre-sale.  Just wait until it’s all out and in-stock.  Cool?  Cool.
