WE ENJOY CAVE IN TOUR STORIES BEFORE THEY EVEN GET HOME.
This email came in the middle of Cave In's January US tour :
<< By the way, I saw Cave In here in Minneapolis the other day. They had a very interesting man selling their merchandise, this raving latino guy. I inquired as to whether or not they had any color vinyl copies of the new lp
and he started going on and on about how HYDRAHEAD kept all those and the band didn't get any and all the money went "straight into Aaron turners bong...". I'm pretty sure he was joking, but either way, it was very um...interesting. I was going to ask them if they needed a place to stay for the night, but I reconsidered after that little episode. I bought one of the tour remix cd's though, it's very cool looking. I assume you did it. >>
one word: mint.

NEW RECORDS AND STUFF FOR SALE:
Buy 'em here instead of on ebay for ridiculous prices:
All you impatient bastards out there have gotten your wish. The Cave In "Jupiter" vinyl is here along with the brand new Harkonen 7", european pressing of "Jupiter" on vinyl from Chrome St. Magnus (with a different cover
and colored vinyl, 2 new full length CDs from Old Man Gloom (seminars II & III), and the Cave In "Moons of Jupiter" cd ep on Magic Bullet (available only through thier mailorder and ours).
HOT OFF THE PRESS:
The Barbaro 7", Sunn "00 void" cd, and the Discordance Axis lp. The color vinyl for the Discordance Axis lp is already sold out but we still have plenty of the black vinyl left to fill remaining orders. The Cave In "Jupiter" lp came on 2 special limited edition versions - one is green marbled vinyl and the other is super heavyweight 180 gram black vinyl. So if some of you get a black Cave In 12" remember that it's still a limited item just like the green one. This is something we'll be doing with more 12"s as time goes on so don't cry if you don't get a colored vinyl 12" - it could still be a limited 180 gm heavyweight version. We also now have Cave In t-shirts in stock for those that are interested.
COMING UP NEXT:
We have the long awaited Knut "Bastardiser" cd finally available here in the states, and believe us when we tell you that it was worth the wiat. Despite the fact that the record is almost four years old now the record smokes most of the current competition - current and abroad. We expect it to arrive for mailorder in the next 2 weeks or so. following that will be the 12" version of the new Neurosis "soveriegn" ep and the new Keelhaul full length cd aptly titled "Keelhaul II". We have a number of things to follow those of course, but these are the next items that will be rolling in in the next month or so.
OTHER GREAT RECORDS:
from labels that almost as cool as hydra head and tortuga:
don't forget we are still distributing other fine releases from Escape Artist, Robodog, Relapse, and others such as: the Sacrifice Poles cd (all of cave in doing experimental psychadelic rock), House of Low Culture "Submarine Immersion Techniques" cd (noise and melody from members of isis, OMG, etc), Keelhaul debut cd, Anodyne "Quite Wars" cd ep, Isis "Celestial" cd and 2xlp, "Red Sea" cd ep, and "Mosquito Control" cd ep/12" Isis/Pig Destroyer split 7", Pig Destroyer/Gnob split cd, Barbaro cd ep, Cancer Conspiracy cd ep, Burn It Down "Eat, Sleep, Mate, Defend" cd ep/10" (first press silver vinyl - now out of print), Time In Malta cd ep, Stephen Brodsky "Expose Your Overdubs" cd/12" (clear vinyl), Ananda "Profane" cd (brutal french grind on overcome records), Knut "Bastardiser" 12" (european pressing on Chrome), and more to come.
FOR VINYL NERDS:
We have a handful left of the Neurosis/Soilent Green split 7" left if anybody wants them. If you order this item please list alternates as they will run out soon. We also got some returns and found some random items around the office which were not enough in quanity to sell through mailorder so we will be auctioning them on the devil of the internet: e bay. we figured we'd beat some of you bastards out there to the punch - if you can't beat em - join em kinda thing. These records we're auctioning are for old titles that are no longer in press and that we have only one or 2 copies remaining. We didn't offer them up for mailorder because no one knows that we have these items anymore and now everyone has a fair shot at getting one rather than just giving them to the first order that arrived in our box. here's what's going:
"in these black days" vol 4 2x7" - black vinyl. tracks from Cavity, Cable, Overcast, and Jesuit - first pressing
Coalesce "there is nothing new under the sun" 12" picture disc - first pressing
Jesuit 7" black vinyl - second pressing
Agoraphobic Nosebleed "pcp torpedo" 6" - red and black mixed vinyl
Botch "we are the romans" 2xlp - black vinyl first press
Isis "sawblade" cd ep packaged with actual black sawblade - from edition of 200
ONE FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
We proudly introduce our new slogan which will appear on various items in the hydra head summer merchandise line: "HYDRA HEAD RECORDS - DON'T LIKE IT - DON'T BUY IT!". thanks for tuning in and be safe out there - it's a very naughty world.
