i was standin' there in the morning mist/a jack and coke at the end of my wrist

If you're like me and prefer to buy your physical records from the actual record store (or if you're simply Canadian and don't want to pay roughly $1-million for shipping), here are four digital-only releases that aren't on streaming platforms that you can pick up for Bandcamp Friday tomorrow.

Go Fly a Kite: Songs for Rick

Go Fly a Kite is "a compilation created for Rick Dirck: father; friend; DJ and long-time volunteer at the Portsmouth, NH community radio station WSCA 106.1 FM; full-hearted believer in the power of music; flyer of kites; and endlessly more."

There's an otherwise unreleased Mirah song, an unreleased All Dogs song (that's still the last thing they've ever released), some demo versions of some great tunes, and this cover where Waxahatchee sings the DIY classic, "Make a Deal With the City" by East River Pipe in appropriately ultra lo-fi fashion.


The Constantines - Call Me Out

It's the very last Cons release and all the proceeds from sales go to Black Lives Matter Toronto and the Unist'ot'en Camp Legal Fund for Land Defenders.




This thing has over 130 songs, so there's bound to be something you like. For awhile, it was the only way to hear SG Goodman duetting with Will Oldham on "Nature's Child". There's a live version of "How Hard is it for a Desert to Die" where Jeff Tweedy's joined by Wednesday's Karly Hartzman. And I guess if you have an indie charity comp, you're required to have a Waxahatchee exclusive, because this one has Katie covering Gillian Welch's "Wrecking Ball."


All of God's Money/A Tribute to Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

A tribute to one of the best records of the aughts from Tim Crisp's Better Yet podcast, benefiting the AIDS Foundation of Chicago and featuring Ratboys covering "Pot Kettle Black" and Laura Stevenson covering "Jesus, Etc." The latter is a song that I didn't think I could love more than I already did, but the multiple Lauras harmonizing on the last "voices whine" part is something else, man.

now playing: Mapei - Don't Wait
