Murderer is a new Low EP out
this month. It’s on Cameron Crowe’s Vinyl label, which
is a vinyl label. Imagine that. Anyway, it’s apparently the second in a series; the first
release was from Red House Painter Mark Kozelek.

It all sounds intriguing, really:

Each EP has roughly 8-12 minutes per side, and has material exclusive to the series.
Each release is limited to 2000 copies worldwide. One-thousand copies are numbered on
black vinyl for distribution in the United States. Five-hundred copies are pressed on
colored vinyl for European distribution, and the final five-hundred copies are on clear
vinyl, to be sold in a boxed set once the series has run its course. Plans for the boxed
set include a poster, all 10-12 of the 10″ EPs in the series, and one 10″ exclusive to
the set. The boxed set is slated to be released in late 2004 or early 2005.

I officially name 2003 “The Year Of Limited-Edition Shit”.

Moving on, if you order Quasi’s new album Hot Shit via Touch and Go Mail Order,
you get a free special bonus disc, Live Shit. I assume this to be a live Quasi
disc and not that MuhTallica box set from years ago. Toll-free call, US only, @ 1-800-3-TOUCHU.

Speaking of deals, Sushirobo’s new album,
The Light-Fingered Feeling Of Sushirobo, comes out next week. You can buy it
for a mere $10, but the real deal is this one:
both of their previous albums, Drawings and Garbage Structures and Action Causes More Trouble Than Thought, for
only $12…that’s $6 apiece. Definitely worth it.

Finally, the D-Plan have most everything they’ve ever done available as
an audio stream now, and most things that aren’t streamable are downloadable. A People’s History of The Dismemberment Plan is out
on DeSoto on September 24th.
