… just for $100, no less. Thanks everyone who took advantage of the moving sale. I’ve lowered prices on some items (including LPs and CDs), so take a look around.

I’m all moved into the new place and relocated a third of the stock into a closet. And soon enough, the rest will go into storage. The moving sale will end this Friday, Aug. 20, and I just put up a button to buy the whole Thor’s Rubber Hammer catalog for $90 PPD.

So I have moved, but the Thor’s Rubber Hammer stock has not. If you place an order now — remember: there’s a massive moving sale going on (some items almost gone!) — don’t expect it to ship out until August 16. Thanks!

After two blissful years with a spacious basement as Thor’s Rubber Hammer HQ, the landlord’s giving us the heave-ho to renovate the house (no hard feelings, promise). I’ll be moving into a much smaller space, so I need to unload a ton of merch. The whole TRHP catalog is more or less half-off with a few distro items getting the sale treatment, too.

ONWARD TO THE SALE.

Both late posting this batch-before-most-recent from Stunned Records and generally updating the site. Don’t miss out on the huge moving sale, too!

Don’t miss out.

[Sound & Hearing]

“macmac” at one of our favorite college radio stations had this to say about Beru’s What Would I Do Without You:

Jessica Collins, Beru, mixes her acoustic guitar songs, simple and haunting, with layered male/ female choruses, with pounds of reverb and delay, plus spontaneus noise spurts and changes into new themes. Overall its a dark, bittersweet, and at times frightening. Jessica voice is fragile and demure, and with the lo-fi recording style you can imagine her recording in the middle of a forest, maybe being taunted by a black metal band also sharing the same grassy knoll.

If you haven’t heard, Apple bought Lala.com and now Apple’s shutting down Lala.com on May 31, 2010. Sucks. So if you have a few bucks left on your account, download any of the five Thor’s Rubber Hammer releases on Lala.com while you can.

In other digital music news, expect five more TRHP titles to show up on AmazonMP3, Other Music and other fine digital music outlets this month. We’ll keep you posted.

Larry Dolman always puts up Blastitude’s Best-Of list four or five months after the fact, but we always looked forward to it. Dude’s got an ear for skronk, dub and garage-rock that keep our ears glued on. So we’re pretty stoked that he took a liking to one of our Ecstatic Jazz Duos records, specifically the Wasteland Jazz Unit side:

Wasteland Jazz Unit is the reason I finally put this one on, after being scorched by one of their CDR releases. They’re a sax and clarinet duo from Cincinnati, and seriously, I’ve said it before, but these two guys overload their instruments with breath and amplification and lay down long sustained fields of desolation that only Borbetomagus has gotten to. Having them on vinyl alone makes this worth the pick-up…

More winners from the Stunned crew. We’re especially looking forward to the new Mortuus Auris & The Black Hand as well the Torture Corpse cassette, whose zonked black noise was a real highlight on its last Stunned offering.
