Hello! 
We just got back from PsychFest, cutting records for the Flaming Lips, and due to threatening weather conditions, we shut down early and have some copies available to sell. This is a Flaming Lips Record on PIAPTK! A teenage dream come true!  Also, since I'm going to guess that this email might get a few more opens than my last one, I'm including all the stuff from the previous email underneath the new stuff. So, hopefully everyone will check out some of our other releases!


The Flaming Lips - Good Vibrations  4 Sided Record:
These 3-holed, 4 sided lathe cut records were created for Austin Psych Fest 2015.  The plan was to sell them exclusively at the festival, but due to inclement weather, last minute notice and weird booth location, we have a handful leftover for sale through the site. There were 350 made, and they will never be repressed. 

Includes a cover of Good Vibrations and three short "remixes".  The large groove and center small groove are on side A and the two outer small grooves are on Side B. The small grooves may not play on some automatic turntables. You may need a DJ style manual player. 

Due to licensing restrictions, purchase of the Flaming Lips record does NOT include digital download. Sorry!

STRICT LIMIT OF ONE PER PERSON/PER ADDRESS

*Note... there are a lot of people that want these. Please do not buy them just to flip on eBay. We will know, we will be bummed, and your karma will suffer.

Pick them up here!


SPACEFACE: Up In the Clouds -3 holed Could shaped Lathe cut:
A 3-sided Cloud Shaped 8" lathe cut from Memphis psychedelic DIY Lighting Pioneers, SpaceFace. Includes the tune Up In The Clouds plus two short loops, one keyboard and one vocal loop. Spaceface includes Jake Ingalls, The touring Guitarist for the Flaming Lips.

Pick them up here!


The Blank Tapes - Double Vision EP
An EP of new hits from SoCal pysch poppers, The Blank Tapes. Has 2 off-set grooves that cause a min-melting optical illusion on clear plexiglass. With a transperency insert. 
Side A: I Think I Took Too Much, Somebody Stole My Weed
Side B: Chasing Tail, Fun With You

Hello! 
Things in the world of record cutting have been insane recently… we had MobileVinylRecorders.com gigs in NOLA (cutting the Isley Brothers for Mardi Gras!) Charlotte, NC, NYC, and Paris, and it looks like we will be down at Austin Psych Fest cutting some of my patented multi-hole art records for one of my oldest favorite bands, The Flaming Lips!  But, in between all of these trips, I’ve also managed to whip up a new batch of releases (with a lot more in the works!)

1. 
   DOHM – "FREE" is the debut release from DOHM (Money Mark (Beastie Boys/Beck/Mike Watt, etc) + Patrick Keeler (Raconteurs/Greenhornes/Afghan Whigs).  This SIX SIDED Record is comprised of 3x 4" records joined together.  Each one has unique sections of a 36 minute live set recorded in South Central LA.  Each side has about 2 minute snippets that end in unique locked grooves.  No 2 discs are the same.  Includes a download of the entire set. Pick it up here. And while you are at it, pick up the American Monoxide 6 sider (different design).
   
   
2. 
   Jad Fair – “Stick” b/w “This Time” Square Lathe Cut with HAND DRAWN (and numbered) covers by Jad. Jad Fair of Half Japanese is legendarily weird. He’s been making envelope-pushing music for almost 4 decades. I made these for his upcoming Euro tour with Normal Blake.  He got half and I got half. Keep an eye out for his CD-Record coming soon! Pick it up here. 
   
   
3. 
   PIAPTK T-Shirts – We’ve got some new t-shirts featuring a technical drawing of our beloved Presto 6N record lathes made by Marina Cornelius of Acorn Bcorn. Available in retro heather blue or retro heather grey. Available in BIG sizes as well. Pick it up here. 
   
   
4. 
   Reptar – Lurid Glow Cassette – as part of our partnership with Joyful Noise, we will be releasing select JNR releases on cassette.  This one is from Athens, GA’s Reptar. Includes the album in MP3. Pick it up here
   
   
5. 
   Lathe Cut Camp – I get emails almost daily from people wanting to get into record cutting. So, in response, I’m giving folks the chance to see what it REALLY means to be lathe troll. The first ever Lathe Cut Camp! Spend three days in scenic Tucson, AZ learning (almost) everything you need to know about DIY Record Cutting!  The focus of this camp will be on mono "semi-professional" machines, with particular focus on Presto 6Ns, which are one of the most common and affordable vintage machines around.  You can do some amazing things with these incredible machines, and I will show you how. Bring your own music and we will put it onto discs for you to take home.  We will touch on professional record mastering/pressing, but my main interest and experience, and the focus of this camp will be on the more DIY and experimental side of the hobby.  There are only 8 spots available, so buy early!  Check it out here.
   
   
6. New Stuff in the Golden Boots Rarities Store - The Golden Boots have been playing a lot of shows and working on new recordings, and are continuing to crank out items for their store to help pay for it all.

Hello everyone and greetings from Memphis, TN!  

My travel lathe-cutting business, MobileVinylRecorders.com just left New Orleans, where we were cutting records for the Isley Brothers at Mardi Gras, and we've got a few days to kill until our next gigs in Charlotte, NC, so we are stopping through and visiting some friends in the South and checking out the sites like Sun Studios, Ardent, etc. Next stop Nashville, then Charlotte.. If you live in one of these locales, and want to hang, hit us up!

Lots of stuff coming up in the next few months, but here is a small taste that is available NOW!

1. Social Media stuff: If you follow any of my many ventures (Mobile Vinyl Recorders,Lathe Cuts, PIAPTK, Soild Gold, etc) online, you probably have noticed that we have not been super prolific on all the many Social Media platforms.  But, I've recently hired my buddies from BabyGasMaskRecords.com to not only handle my order fulfillment, but also to help me keep up with Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. I feed them content and they distribute it as appropriate. So PLEASE do us a favor and follow us.  We are seriously on an upswing all of a sudden and things and we are trying to really make a go of it, and YOU can help. Follow us here:

2. Mike Watt: Mountain Mystery CD-Record:  Mike Watt is my oldest "Rockstar Encounter" experience from when I was 15.  He is one of the most genuine dudes, and incredible artists that independent and punk rock has ever produced, and I am ridiculously excited to be able to work with him (and we have another project in the works!).  But first up is the next release in the CD-Record series.  This one is with Mike Watt and the Secondmen covering "Mountain Mystery" by Helios Creed. We also have some other incredible artists coming up soon, so stay tuned. Pick up Mike Watt's CD-Record HERE. 


3. Bed Rugs - Two Lapse 8" Pic Disc - Bed Rugs are only the second band I've ever released from a demo.  I love getting demos, but I'm always WAY too backed up with my friends' records to work with bands I don't know. They emailed me and asked if I'd be interested and I (in a much nicer way) said "probably not, but send it over and I'll check it out"... I did check it out and said "YEAH, I'll release THAT!"  So, here it is!  One long psych jam called Two Lapses on a one-sided 8". We hand-cut the protective plastic away in the shape of the band name from the back of the record and peeled it away.  Then my four-year-old daughter and I hand dipped them in paint and we cut the grooves onto the front side. Ltd to 75 copies.  Pick one up HERE. 

Also, Bed Rugs is throwing a secret PIAPTK party on March 26 in Antwerp, Belgium and they've got a bunch of these records and some exclusive PIAPTK swag bags... so, you know, for the two of you on this list in Belgium, you should go and pick one up! Hit me up if you want the coordinates.


4. Grey Waves Handmade Artwork 7"s - Grey Waves is Jesse Hughey and Eric Judy (Modest Mouse).  This is their debut release and is limited to 300 copies.  A little over 100 of these have unique artwork made by over 30 different artists.  For the most part, these designs are limited to one or two copies. Some are collaged, oil painted, water colors, silkscreened, etc. Many of these were displayed at art galleries in Seattle, Portland, and Olympia, but we have about 40 of the handmade ones to sell through PIAPTK.

 They are limited to about one copy per design, and you can choose which design you want, so don't sleep on this... they are all REALLY great. There is also a less expensive, standard full color printed cover which is also limited, only 200 copies. Pick them upHERE.


 5. Salesman - Let's Jump Into The Fire 7" Lathe cut - Our buddies from Austin are back with a new single, this time, it's PIAPTK's first single on Square, WHITE, lathe cut.  Double sided, with two new excellent jams and water colored labels. While you are at it, don't forget to pick up a copy of Salesman front man, Devin James Fry's debut solo album on cassette!  DJF Tapes HERE and Salesman 7"s HERE. 


6. Surfer Blood - 1000 Palms Tape - In conjunction with our partner label, Joyful Noise Recordings, we are thrilled to release the cassette version of the new Surfer Blood album, 1000 Palms. THIS IS A PREORDER ONLY AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MAY! PLEASE ORDER THIS SEPERATELY FROM ANY OTHER ITEMS IN THE STORE OR YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING UNTIL THE MAY RELEASE DATE!  That being said, preorder a copy (only 250 on blue tapes) HERE.


7. Forest Fallows - At Home Cassette and CD-Record Album- Forest Fallows are an incredible band from Tucson (that happen to live next door to me). Their album will be co-released on vinyl with Joyful Noise in about 6 months, but until then, we've got their masterful reverbed out chill psych classic on cassette and CD-Record (full album + bonus groove jam).  Check them out here: https://soundcloud.com/forest-fallows. Pick up the CD-Record or Tape HERE

We are ridiculously proud to present Soild Gold - 000004: Scott McMicken's "IT".

"IT" is the first solo album from Dr Dog songwriter/singer, Scott McMicken! This album was recorded a while ago and was originally intended to be released as a cohesive unit, but was eventually partially pieced out for Dr. Dog bonus tracks on various albums and singles. But, this marks the first time that it appears in it's entirety, as originally intended, and on vinyl.

Limited Edition of 200 Lps and 100 Cassette Tapes sold.

LPs on Goldenrod Vinyl and Cassettes on Gold tapes.

35 Gold with Red and yellow rim Splatter vinyl will be sent to random purchasers.

Includes a poster with art by V. Cessna.

Test Pressings: Do you like test pressings? We have 3 test pressings 
to be given away in a raffle. To enter the raffle, use the "pay what you 
want" option and enter a value (over $15) that includes change. Eric has 
chosen a number between .01 and .99, and the first three people to pay a value 
with that change amount, win the test pressing. For example, if Eric chose $.02 
(hint: he didn't), and you paid $15.02, you win a test pressing. You have the 
same chance of winning whether you pay $15.02 or $250.02... However, if you 
throw in a little extra, it will be used to buy beers and hummus for the record 
packing party we hold when we receive each release from the pressing plant.

Soild Gold 3 Pack - New to Soild Gold? Can't believe you missed the first two releases? Well, they are both almost sold out, but we have twenty 3-packs available at a discount!
