yes, i'm totally skint now but i know it'll be worth it! :)

just a quick reminder to folks that the kickstarter campaign for this project winds down next thursday night (march 31). while we will still have some sets available for sale directly through us at the label from that date onward there are some special combos and other stuff that we only have posted through kickstarter. i'm just reminding in case that stuff was of interest to anyone. as always, get in touch if you have any questions.

oh yeah - FYI - all of the mastered audio has been approved and is being sent along to the plant next week to start up the lacquers and whatnot. the ball is rolling! there's still a little bit of work to be completed on the artwork but what i have seen so far looks stupendous. i think the june/july date estimate is still holds.

just had a preview to the two sy tracks! they are both total top-shelf material that easily could have been released as one of the best syrs!
one of the tracks is so groovy that you can actually dance to steve's beat!

Moshe, I'm having a tough job visualising you dancing to anything :D

i can dim the lights if it makes it easier for you.

Whoa! But you really should be careful with those glow-in-the-dark hot pants.

:eek: :)

just by way of update to folks, things are still motoring along on this set. all of the art is in the process of being locked down right now and is pretty much on target time-wise. the box artwork was approved last week and is currently in production. if i had to guess today i'd say this one will be out mid-july (although there are still a few moving parts).

if you are interested in picking up a copy of the "limited" version of this box (the mailorder only version that comes with an extra CD and 7" for $10 more), we are down to only 35 copies remaining that are unclaimed. don't snooze!

as of last night all of the artists have given approval for the test pressings of their respective sides. i would think that this one would be in hand in mid-july and ready to ship. we have set a mid-august street date for retail but direct mailorder copies will be shipping once we have them in hand.

for folks who are interested in picking up a copy of the "limited" version of this box (the mailorder only version that comes with an extra CD and 7" for $10 more), we are down to only 19 final unclaimed copies. don't miss out - the extra stuff is pretty rad too - trust me!

I just finished the artwork for Sonic Youth's side in the set. Enjoy!

Beautiful, thanks!

very nice!

only 10 sets remain unclaimed with the bonus 7" and CD. scoot over here (http://threelobed.com/tlr/tlr080.html) if you're in need. the mailing in mid to late july part still looks like the most likely scenario.

just ordered the bonusless standard and have to wait anyhow

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO AN ONLINE STREAM OF SY's TRACK DO NOT CLICK.
If you click don't complain.
ok?

I just ordered the extended package. I hope I'll get it soon...

total delight:D:D:D:D

i'm glad folks are digging this. i totally meant it when i've been saying for a while now just how rad these SY tracks are.

I have big expectations on this track (and the whole album) after having read many positive opinions on it, so i don't wanna ruin the fun listening to this MP3, although i admit it's tempting. I'll be stoic and wait for the LP (or at least i'll try hard).

whoops. I guess another thread was a waste....

That's exactly the point.
I was about to write another post to make what I meant clearer (expecially the "don't complain" part in my post, which could have been interpreted like "don't complain if you click, listen, and don't like it coz I warned you it would suck" ;) ), but looks like there's no need, hehe!



ah, no problem, I think not everyone on the board has been keeping track of the content in this thread, yours is more "explicit" hehe....

I hope that works out for you. I tried it a few years ago, but it didn't impress my wife nearly as much as I had hoped...

For those interested in what the entire set will look like, here are jpegs of the front and back of the box and all eight sides.

Cool stuff!
I'll defenitly grab a box..and oh didn't know there were two tracks..so I'll save the other one until it's out. :)

Nice work Casey!

Yes, two tracks, and the one you haven't heard yet is my personal favorite of the two.

yep, the second track is really good.

If you were lucky enough to get the set with the bonus 7" before it sold out, here's the cover for the Key Demo side and the painting (still drying!) for the Hush Arbors side.

And the final piece of the puzzle is off to the press.

thanks for the pointer to Sonic Youth Radio. Right now I'm listening to Lee definitely my kind of station. :):)

Beautiful work, Casey. Thanks.

chicka, eh? Sonic Youth radio? Am i missing something? I sometimes listen to Steve Shelley's blip.fm. Link to Lee's, please?

Stu666 provided this pointer:

I went there and after a few clicks ended up on Sonic Youth Radio

http://www.last.fm/listen/artist/Son...similarartists

where basically they play music by bands of simular interests as well as plenty of Sonic Youth as well as side projects

That's what i thought. Had to ask to make sure it wasn't something else entirely different. Thanks for replying.

you're welcome. you got ask cause there is no dumb question

similar to what NPR music did with the sonic youth track, here's a streaming premiere of the steve gunn track to the box set -

i'm awaiting a little more information from the plant but it sounds like these will be gearing up for shipping during the last week of july to folks who have picked it up via mailorder from us at the label. the retail street date is august 16 for folks who plan to pick it up at their local store. this thing will be pretty close to being OOP from us at the label as of the street date.
