we need air
A brief synopsis of Shindig:
- Japandroids won. They closed with a new song. I think it was called "Born to Run." It slayed. It's not actually called "Born to Run," but it is Springsteen-related, though not Springsteen-esque. Brian, I'm sorry for yelling out "assholes" at you. I didn't know that was your mom sitting behind me.
- Lownote sort of sounded like Lord of the Dance meets Judas Priest. Maybe you're into that.
- Honestly, I only paid attention to Vonnegut Dollhouse for one song before deciding I would prefer to chat outside.
- Kudos to Dan McCash for upping the ante in the as-offensive-as-possible-without-being-racist-or-sexist joke category!
- Chris-a-riffic held it down in the MC department, because Ben Lai was away. He did a splendid job.
Mark gave the heads up about a fundraiser that Oxfam is holding, I'll let him tell it in his own words:
Murray Atkinson, Hey Ocean!, Lotus Child, The Wassabi Collective, Freeflow and DJ Jesse James play The Plaza Club this Thursday Oct 18.And finally, does anyone out there know anything about pressing up a 7". Specifically, where to get it done and what I can expect to pay (for... a couple hundred or so). Please and thanks.
Doors 8pm, and tickets $15 in advance (from Zulu and Scratch) and $20 at the door, and proceeds go towards Oxfam Canada's efforts to make poverty history (event's called Music4Change - Party against Poverty).

I've talked to a few people and apparently this guy is the man. Unit cost of like 70 cents, not including mastering.

Vinyl's really bad for the environment...
Have you thought of doing a really cool PDF document with art accompanying a digital download (super cheap option)?
Or you could sell the vinyl case like that of a regular 7" in a store with all the stuff you would normally see (cardboard, pictures, etc.), but sans vinyl record, and have a download link instead... that way you have something tangible, and it costs less, better for environment, easier to make locally, etc. and you could even charge less for it too.
You were saying awhile back, in response to a barenaked ladies article, about the lack of a tangible object being the biggest drawback of buying digital music (totally agreed... having the collection is like middle-aged men with sportscars for our generation)... this way you would still have everything a regular cd would have, just not the plastic accompanying it...
But I just ate a big lunch and might not be thinking practically right now though.
