Wrens, Magnolia, Wooden Wand in Singles Club
Plus: Exclusive Wooden Wand MP3!
If you love your music raw, pressed into little spiraling grooves, and highly collectable, Olympia, Washington's People in a Position to Know Recordings have just the thing for you: a limited-edition vinyl singles club!
Another one? Easy there: this isn't your typical vinyl singles club. PIAPTK went all out here, tapping a bunch of your indie favs to contribute tracks-- including the Wrens, Magnolia Electric Co., Wooden Wand, the Long Winters, Will Johnson, and many more-- and then pressing them onto vinyl in a variety of shapes and sizes: square 8", triangular 8", hexagonal 8", circular 12", circular 10", and, best of all, heart-shaped 8". Heart-shaped vinyl!! That's the best thing since, like, heart-shaped pizza.
The limited edition singles are available exclusively to series subscribers, and here's the catch: PIAPTK only have 100 available, so you'd best get on that, youngin. Each series promises six "hand-lathed, polycarbonate" records on clear vinyl, shipped in pairs, beginning November 6. The label writes that at least two more six-record series are on the way, and signing up for the first doesn't guarantee you'll get the next two. Stay posted by signing up for PIAPTK's mailing list on the label's website.
Get excited now by checking out the exclusive mp3 below, a cover of the Velvet Underground's "Run, Run, Run" by Wooden Wand, set to appear on the third release (an 8") in the first series.
Each subscription (six records) will run you $65. Other series contributors include Norfolk & Western, Karl Blau, the Impossible Shapes, Dark Side of the Cop, Tim Kinsella (of Joan of Arc and Make Believe), Jad Fair, Tender Forever, Casper and the Cookies, Little Wings, Viking Moses, Clay Ruby (of Zodiac Mountain/Davenport), Super XX Man, the Poster Children, Southerly, Angelo Spencer, Emily Jane Powers, Kickball, AM/FM, Miniature and Presidential, and something called Sandman the Rappin' Cowboy, which should be worth the entire subscription price alone.
