However, worked on now doesn't mean it will be fixed fast. I am hoping to have it all sorted out by next week. So yeah, it WILL work, just be patient. This has never been done by TT before so we are learning as we're going.

2009-03-15T15:20:00.000-07:00

HALLOW is a sprawling foray of architectural disassembly, a weed-out process of reassessment and purposeful self-affirmation. This is the soundtrack to accompany Mark McCoy's debut drawing exhibition at LA's HOPE Gallery (opens Friday March 13,2009). HALLOW unfurls like a broken seal of revelations, billowing down its miasma of certainty. Looming perilously under a wash of malformation and debris are nine musical compositions to correspond with each of the drawings featured in the show, the side of each disc showcasing a consistent breakdown of structure mirrored by an intensifying sense of isolation and reverie. Split release with Youth Attack. Lim. 300

It is available in the store, now.

Teardrops/ PPM party in Austin at Club 1808 this Friday. Free, all ages, 2pm to 2am.

Coming soon, some sooner than later -

This Is Happening Without Your Permission 12"
Nick deWitt 12"
Dear JD Salinger, I Forgive You, Signed Yoko - book
Infinite Body LP
Lucky Dragons 12"
Law Of The Rope LP

Etc.

Now Available! Amra Brook's 'California' ready to order!

2008-12-12T19:06:00.000-08:00

Amra Brooks wonderful book , 'California' is finished and printed and ready to order. I will fill all orders I recieve in the next four days on Wednesday December 17th. After that I will be out of town until December 27th. Let's see what the critics have to say -

"Amra Brooks' California is beautifully written and felt. The spare, rhythmic sentences cut to the bone of experience; the novella is both compassionate and unsparing in its judgements. With her special intelligence and unblinkered eye, Brooks transforms the state of California into the state of her charchter's mind, its sense and sensibility becoming hers. This is a marvelous book."
- Lynne Tillman

Oh lucky day!

Hello Pals,

Did you order a copy of the Sads 'Silent Show' 12" and NOT recieve it yet? Here is what's going on - There was a problem with the pressing and most copies were damaged. It has been back at the plant and I am waiting for the rest of the copies to return to me and then be sent out to you. Some of you ordered some time ago, and have been waiting for weeks. If this is unacceptable to you, I totally understand and will happily issue a full refund. Just email me and ask. If you don't mind waiting, I am not sure how long it will be but you will defintely get your record as soon as I have them. Thank you, as always for your support and your patience on this one.

Pocahaunted repress of 450 on mint vinyl should be done soon.

Amra Brook's book, California, will be available next week.

After that - Lucky Dragons, Infinite Body, Law Of The Rope and two new Teardrops shirts.
