Almost Halloween Time records is proud to announce the release of "Wooden Bird", the new LP by The Kitchen Cynics. Limited to one-hundred-and-ten copies, the record contains ten new songs and comes with homemade sleeves, each different and numbered and drawn by me. Here are the first sixteen exemplars I've made:

Folk Police Recordings has just reissued a selection of old Kitchen Cynics releases in digital form. Don't lose these as they are amazing! Visit their bandcamp page for further information http://kitchencynics.bandcamp.com/

I did it. I won my reluctance. From this month on, I'm going to review a few records for you, but be aware that I'm a not an english mothertongue so some of my writings might result a little bit difficult to be understood. I really had to write a few words about the new Ramon Speed 7".
The last two months have seen the release of a new Circle Brothers LP on Morc Tapes, a Peter Peter Hughes 7" on Fayettenam and a new LP from Woods ... I'm going to review these for you shortly, but I'm the only one working on this website and if I write reviews every day I will have a few time left for listening to music...

Last news date September 2009 but i've been working on the update of this website daily. Loads of tapes and records added in the discographies sections and artists pages updated. Sing, Eunuchs! and Catsup Plate discographies are complete, the few blanks left are never released items or planned releases that never saw the light. There apparently were limited edition tour cassettes that were sold at shows by the artists but I still haven't uncovered these.
I also realized that i had completely forgotten about Stress Records, a label that has released many Daniel Johnston tapes. It's up now... and this means that i'm also working on a Daniel Johnston detailed discography.
Deportables have a new album out on Vlas Vegas, i've got the vinyl and it's absolutely recommended. There is also an interesting Chris Knox tribute compilation out. It's called Stroke and features tracks by some of our favourites (The Mountain Goats and Lou Barlow)

Fayettenam has announced the release in early 2010 of a new Peter Hughes album titled Fangio. I have been lucky enough to listen to some of his new tracks, it's a must have. I hope this is going to be the first in a long series of new Peter Hughes and Diskothi-q albums as i can't really get tired of listening to his beautiful songs. This reminds of two wonderful Diskothi-q releases i've finally been able to find. The Football Albums! Well, i know these were available for free download on fivetools.com but i'm an nostalgic and i wanted hard copies and these are really beautiful with a real cover and lyrics sheets... you should try to find these.

And i would like to thank you Chris Fischer from Unread Records for the great help with the discographies and for releasing such an incredible quantity of beautiful and interesting tapes... get the Rotbox compilation, it celebrates one hundred unread releases and features unreleased tracks of Simon Joyner, Franklin Bruno, Woods and many more...
