Records being held hostage in Hess' house; begging to be sent to rightful owners...

To the records still held hostage in Hess' living room:

Hang tight, away from heat and sunlight and Jeff will ship you soon enough. Really, he's a reasonable guy and will totally get you all out ASAP. Don't do anything rash and I'm sure that everything will work out.

If you just play it cool, you'll all be heading out through the Brunswick USPS any day now...

For now, get ready for tomorrow's Oregon, UCLA game:

Mad Minds

Good news yall, our boy Scotty from Crrumbus just announced that the pre-orders for the new Mad Minds 7in as well as the new Triceratops 12iner are up on LEAVE EM RECORDS. He is putting out the War Pigs 7in too. That Savages song rips! And on top of that you can order all three for like 15 bucks. I chose that option. (Get Like Me) The new Mad Minds is really really good. I haven't heard any new Tri songs yet, but the art is awesome. I really suggest getting on the pre-order tip. Just think, there's a Mad Minds song called 30 minutes of mosh. Moshing for 30 mins! That's my dream. I really think the only dudes that could last along with myself are either Franzy or Taylor. I don't think the rest of yas have it in you. You gotta mosh.

Some other news. Tony Erba was featured on the Double Cross Webzine on monday. Right Idea interview is there somewhere. I'm looking hard (NH) X'ed up in Hess's small ass shirt because Uncle I mean Daddy Johno wouldn't let me wear my $897,809 flannel from supreme... shit I need bass gear, but that's not the point...

Go buy and support hardcore! Mosh too.

OH! Edge Day 2008 is coming up! SATURDAY. Why aren't we playin' that?...

Record Update!

Straight from monsieur Aram:

2/3 of the orders have been sent out. All Distro orders went out today, the remaining US orders will be out Thursday morning, and the last of the international order go out on Friday. This was a pretty huge pre-order for REACT! and there's only have a few hundred records left so if anyone still wants to order now is the time! There are still a few white copies left and then of course lots of black copies.

I'm also excited to see some feedback on the whole package- RXI put out a great record and I feel it came with some interesting stuff. 100% love was put into every step.

What can I say? I am so excited about this record finally being in people's hands -- and I can't wait to hear what you all think!

New REACT! Shirt and Pre-Orders

Not sure when these will be available on the REACT! myspace, but once they are, go and gobble them up . . .

The 12" pre-orders are under way! Word has it that you can get all 3 colors for $40 PPD (USD). Check the earlier posts for more details on the breakdown.

Records For Sale -- Pre-Sale!

Ok, so that title really didn't have the effect I was thinking it would have. Say it aloud, and drragggg out the "pre" in a snarky sarcastic sort of way. There, better? I thought so.

So head over to React! Records' myspace on Monday if you're not too busy grilling and chilling out by the pool to pre-orderthe RIGHT IDEA Our World 12". This is prolly the only way you'll be certain to get the colors (if that's your thing). We'll have black vinyl (my personal favorite) at the shows, but we're really not sure of the breakdown of colors for us to sell at venues . . .

Here's the break down of the entire pressing of RXR-002:

20 -- TEST PRESS / BLACK VINYL / BLACK DJ SLEEVES / HAND-NUMBERED
500 -- BLACK VINYL
200 -- BLUE VINYL
300 -- WHITE VINYL
Now, all colors will come with a pretty sweet 2-sided poster / lyric sheet (think Judge -- I always do).

Oh, and I hope you're feeling the new look, b/c word has it that Aram will have some new RIGHT IDEA shirt designs based on the LP layout up for order as well . . . so, jump on that too, if you like, um, clothes.Word!
