Ooh, thanks Hec. I didn't know Twin/Tone was still around. They can "custom burn" a CD of Take It for me.
Wow, that album sold less than 10,000 on both album and cassette. They were fairly popular in Mpls and they did play Madison at least several times....
From Twin/Tone's site:
Today the label is in "moth balls," finding the traditional physical CD market very unfriendly to indie labels, we wait for the alternative that digital delivery promises (hopefuly sooner than later).
...
As of May 2004, we are still in the process of updating all the project pages. Removing the Liquid Audio links and replacing them with MP3 sample links. We are converting all the master tapes to digital format and will offer all the out of print titles via "Custom Burned CD's". Check back later this summer for DVDs and other jems from the vault...
In'eresting....
eta: In case folks don't know, Twin/Tone was the indie label that first signed such bands as The Replacements and Soul Asylum.
Burn-to-order is definitely going to help these small indie labels with a back catalog. You can pretty much run it out of your second bedroom again without having to store a ton of stock and supplies.
Have we reached another bottleneck in the Buffista Mix CD Train?
Who's got the plunger?
It's been about three months since I've gotten anything.

I sent on all my stuff to tina. And I get stuff from Hayden and I don't think he's gotten anything new recently.

My bad. I have a few CDs I need to pass on.

As long as someone is shamed, we're all good.
Did Joe get the Angus/Moonlit set yet?
I got them this weekend. Haven't had a chance to copy them, but will do so this week.
Steve Earle will be performing today on the Leonard Lopate show. Show starts at noon. Looks like he's up second, so maybe 12:30. WNYC is really good about archiving its shows, so it should be available later this afternoon if you can't hear it while it's on.
