BYOB for 21+ :)

I wanted to give you guys a heads up for this killer show that's happening this Friday, here in Johnstown, Pennsylvania at VOMA. Roberto Clemente Rookie Card, Ailanthus Recordings and My Idea of Fun are teaming up to bring you Protect the Wa-Tour aka "The Long Drive" Spring 2012. Which, aside from being an obvious reference toward the current Native American Fresh Water Rights issue, it is also the namesake of a tour from Discotays, Dan K. and Dancestry (who unfortunately had to drop off the tour in Indiana).





So anyway, we've got Discotays and Dan K. coming through, and on the Johnstown side of things we've got The One and Only Matt Miller whom we've focused a lot of attention on here at RCRC and then we've got my own personal psychonautic noise project NYKDLN (new full length Post Radio in the works) opening up the show.





The next cool thing about this show is that Discotays have been working on their new record Dried Meat Jewel, and it's going to be exclusively released live during the show from Ailanthus Recordings. There will be 15 limited edition, handmade CDR's of Dried Meat Jewel available at the show and the record will be released live online and worldwide, during their set (with time-sensitive artwork) available digitally for free. 

We couldn't be more excited to do something like this between friends from miles and miles away and would love to see collaborative efforts like this come together more in the future.

See you on Friday!!

One more little update for you guys, RCRC imprint Ailanthus Recordings will also be releasing two more great records in the coming days: a new one from one of our absolute favorite artists, Hleger, it's a full length entitled Musical Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind here's a great cut off of that:



and we'll also be releasing the new one from our friend/awesome dude ~ Ǥ õ § ƪ õ ŵ ~, it's called C☮☯L, you can listen to the whole thing on his Bandcamp, but here's a great look at what he did with his track from the Early 2012 Compilation:



oh yeah, see ya friday, again!

The One and Only Matt Miller - Live Recording 9/15/11

A few weeks ago, The One and Only Matt Miller played this set-long song at VOMA the night before he left for tour with Higher Fives and I took the chance to record it. Listen and download below.

Technological Epidemic - In Processing/Blowin’ in the Mind 7"

Technological Epidemic - In Processing/Blowin' in the Mind 7" (My Idea of Fun, 2011)

listen on bandcamp and buy from My Idea of Fun

Just in time for their Midwest tour, Technological Epidemic just dropped this 7'' to go along with their phenomenal full length Hollow Cost that was released back in May. New songs or B-sides, I don't really know, but they sure have been killing it live. Check out both sides of the single down below, then click up on that first link to see if they'll be in your town in the next week and a half.

Higher Fives - Cystems

Higher Fives - Cystems (My Idea of Fun, 2011)

Buy the tape from My Idea of Fun or listen and download on Bandcamp

So stoked to finally have my hands on this one. For a while now I've been talking up this record being on deck, well now it's here and it sounds (and looks) great; not to mention they nailed it at the release show a few weeks back. Demo after demo, Cystems seemed to be shaping up to be something fantastic and the finished product was nothing short of that. Killer sound and vibe on this, I suggest picking up the tape asap before there aren't any left.





I just posted this song, and have posted this video about 3000 times but once more for good measure

The Vienna Noise Choir - "Dreaming Collective(ly)"

Here's our first look at a new My Idea of Fun project called The Vienna Noise Choir, you might recognize the track from the #2 album of 2010, The One and Only Matt Miller (and Friends) Present(s) The Vienna Noise Choir in Mid-Fi™ which, if you haven't already picked up, I strongly suggest that you get on that. Looks like this is the first track from yet another MIoF full length that's being worked on right now. Excited to see what comes from this one.
