New Link: Look At This Fucking Hipster

July 8th, 2010 from LATFH.com

So I was in the local book store the other day and I happened across this book.  All I can say is that it is amazing and just what indie rock needs.  Some of these outfits and people need to be called out and now we have a book and community set out to do that.  I’ve added LATFH to our links under “Blogroll – Music” for future reference.  Also you can follow them on Twitter and Facebook.  Enjoy.

Joan Of Arc – Tape Box Set

Leave it to Joan of Arc to put out a box set of 10 cassette tapes.  Spanning their entire career, the box set covers all aspects including the good “Live In Chicago,1999″, the bad “In Rape Fantasy and Terror Sex, We Trust” and the weird “The Gap”.

About the Set: The collection is housed in a custom-built wooden box, elaborately screen-printed, hand-numbered and limited to 100 copies. Each cassette, individually wrapped and featuring the original album art, will also be available for individual purchase and includes high-quality MP3s and lossless audio. This is the first time any JOA albums have been available on Cassette.  (from joanfrc.com)

Now the Bad News:  The box set sold out two days after it went on sale, but you can still purchase the individual cassette tapes (why the hell would you just want a cassette tape??) here, but you will not get the wooden box.

Albums included in the set:

  • Portable Model Of
  • How Memory Works
  • Live in Chicago, 1999
  • The Gap
  • So Much Staying Alive and Lovelessness
  • In Rape Fantasy and Terror Sex We Trust
  • Joan of Arc, Dick Cheney, Mark Twain
  • Eventually, All at Once
  • Boo! Human
  • Flowers
