They won't. It's indie pop/rock. Part of the problem is Thirtythree Degrees out of Austin - any Austin band, they get the album a week early. So they have Subset and Explosions (out next week) but not Midwest Product. I think my local indie store (Denton has one again) has maybe one of them, but their website is not much help. Good Records, true to form... hasn't updated their database in a while, so it has none of them. I don't think they'd have Midwest Product anyway. Amazon doesn't have Subset, and won't ship Explosions until it comes out. Insound doesn't have Midwest Product. GRAR! I guess I could try Waterloo's horrible website. *** On a semi-separate note, I will be shipping some copies of STR-003 to Keith/Hrvatski this week for him to sell on his website. Good Records was supposed to do it for us, but uh... they really aren't. Bent Crayon has it listed, but uh... doesn't respond when questioned. So, if anyone's looking for this record on vinyl (since it's about to get re-released on a Planet Mu comp - credited differently, but hey...), it's about to be easier to find. Yeah, it's "Soft Drink Jihad" by Fluoroscopic Kid. You kids buy all 10 copies Keith is getting so he'll order some more. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
