PO: SUBURBAN HOME RECORDS Mix Tape Volume 2 “Greetings From The Left Coast” CD
SUBURBAN HOME RECORDS Mix Tape Volume 2 “Greetings From The Left Coast” CD (5 Copies for FREE)
Hopefully you were able to get a copy of our first Suburban Home Records’ Mix Tape, “Raising Hell and Living Cheap”. If you didn’t, visit these guys. We were very proud of that first Mix Tape and are just as excited about our 2nd Suburban Home Records’ Mix Tape, “Greetings from the Left Coast”. The title was borrowed from a Micah Schnabel lyric from his new album, “When the Stage Lights Go Dim”, which was the inspiration for the mix tape. “When the Stage Lights Go Dim” ’s re-release will be out in early March. We will post the pre-order for the CDs next week and will be posting pre-orders for the vinyl when we get test pressings. The 20 song mixtape begins with 2 songs from Micah’s new album, a live Two Cow Garage cover of the Beatles “Oh Darling”, and my favorite song off of Two Cow Garage’s “Speaking in Cursive”, “Skinny Legged Girl”. Out of the 20 song mix tape there are 10 tracks by Suburban Home artists including new, old, and live tracks by Jon Snodgrass, Drag the River, Yesterday’s Ring, Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground, and more. The other 10 tracks are by some of our favorite non-Suburban Home artists including Glossary, Slobberbone, PJ Bond, justin Townes Earle, and more. This time, the liner notes feature an interview with Micah Schnabel with questions by yours truly and Andy Thomas. Brandon Proff did the art design and we all picked songs for the mix tape.
We’ve decided not to publish the track listing because we think the world needs more surprises. I will say that if you are a fan of Micah Schnabel and Two Cow Garage, you will find a number of familiar favorites and I promise that this compilation will turn you onto at least a few new acts that will soon find their way into your music library.
Just like last time, you can get 5 copies for FREE. We ask that you please keep 1 and give 4 to friends. We also ask that you only order 1 set of mix tapes so there are more people who can get them. We believe that music is meant to be shared. If you hear an artist that you like, please consider finding their releases and see if they are touring through a town near you. You will just need to pay for shipping.
We encourage you to pick up a few releases when you pick up the mix tapes, but you are welcome to order only the mix tapes. Act fast as there are only a small number of mix tapes being made.
If you can help us spread the word about these mix tapes, we would be eternally grateful. Please post this on your Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Blog, etc. Thanks.
NINJA GUN Debut New Song,Announce 7″/European Tour
Ninja Gun just posted a demo version of “Roman Nose” on their Myspace page; the final version of the song and 3 others will be released soon as a 4 song 7″ via Sabot Productions. The song is quite a bit different than what you would expect after listening to “Restless Rubes”, but it will be interesting to hear what the final version sounds like.
Ninja Gun are also preparing for their first tour of Europe. What happens when you send 4 boys from Valdosta to Germany, Switzerland, The U.K., and Netherlands? It’s definitely a good question. I expect Coody and the rest of Ninja Gun will enlighten the European audiences with a little bit of Southern culture. I a really excited for the guys as this has always been a goal of theirs. Gunner Records will be releasing “Restless Rubes” in Europe in time for the tour.

TIM BARRY “28th & Stonewall” #33 on the Billboard Independent Charts
We are really honored and excited to announce that Tim Barry’s latest album, “28th & Stonewall” debuted on the Billboard Independent Charts at #33 with 913 copies scanned. As a really small, indie label, it isn’t often that we have our releases on the Billboard charts, but it couldn’t happen to a better person. Congrats Tim Barry. Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible.
Photos: TIM BARRY “28th & Stonewall” LPs
We just received the Tim Barry “28th & Stonewall” vinyl. As you can see from the photos, there is a pretty wide spectrum on the black with white vinyl. The middle photo is kind of right in between the black and the black with a ton of white vinyl. We will begin shipping pre-orders today and hope to get them all out by tomorrow. If you pre-ordered the deluxe set, we are still waiting on the shirts which should be done today or tomorrow. Thanks everyone who pre-ordered the album. If you haven’t pre-ordered the vinyl, I recommend you do so sooner than later. The colored vinyl will soon be history. It could hypothetically be done by next week.
Stream/Share: TIM BARRY “28th & Stonewall”
As you may or may not know, we at Suburban Home like having the ability to offer our albums as full album streams so that you can listen to our releases before deciding to purchase them. We also like the idea that anyone can post our streaming player on their blog, myspace page, or pretty much any site that allows html to be used. We are excited to post the full album stream of Tim Barry’s newest album, “28th & Stonewall”. We ask you to please give it a listen and if you are so inclined, please share the stream with others. As a very small, indie label, we don’t have the resources bigger labels have and appreciate any word of mouth our streams may help facilitate. Thanks for checking out the album and thanks for sharing.

“Fortress of Solitude”, Aversion.com interviews TIM BARRY
Aversion.com recently interviewed Tim Barry in a feature entitled, “Fortress of Solitude”. It’s a great piece that I highly recommend you read. Here’s a couple of excerpts from the article:
Barry isn’t some sort of Unabomber creep brandishing an acoustic guitar just because he’s fond of his personal time. To survive as a touring musician for the past two decades, he could hardly be an antisocial weirdo. – Matt Schild
“I’m going to be completely honest. I don’t know how many good years I have left,” he admits. “The lifestyle on the road is pretty intense. If you were completely sober and did it, it would batter you and beat you and tear you up after 20 years. I drank and I smoked cigarettes and I smoked weed. I’ll often opt to stay up with great people than sleep for a full eight hours. It tears at you. It’s not something I’m ashamed of. It’s just the way I’ve always lived and I love it. No pity, no bullshit. It’s a lifestyle choice.” – Tim Barry
