BORIS decks, GOLDEN CITY CD, AUSTIN LUCAS "The Common Cold" CD, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU "Young Mountain" LP repress

BORIS : "FEEDBACKER" : SKATEBOARD DECK SERIES

Done for no other reason but to commemorate one of my favorite albums/projects from one of my favorite bands, BORIS' "Feedbacker" skateboard deck series features the stunning imagery that gave the album (and subsequent "bootleg" DVD) its distinctive character. Each band member is portrayed in a pool of their own blood, with new typography from Stephen O'Malley.

As a bonus, each deck is issued with a special Dropcard featuring free downloads for 8 Boris tracks spanning their career (you can thank Greg Anderson at Southern Lord for that one). 2 tracks are exclusive live versions ("Rainbow" and "You were holding an umbrella") and the card also features a special Wata illustration that Stephen worked up.

As you might already be well-aware of, BORIS merchandise tends to sell very quickly, so please act now if you intend to purchase any decks from the series.







- Available in 7.5", 7.8", and 8.1" models (all white-dipped)
- Comes shrinkwrapped with download card featuring 8 free songs (includes 2 live exclusive tracks!)
- Purchases can be made for individual decks or for the entire set

• If paying cash or money order, write info@magicbulletrecords.com for instructions.

THIS WILL DESTROY YOU news...

THIS WILL DESTROY YOU SONG FEATURED IN NEW DENZEL/TRAVOLTA SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE TRAILER

If you're a TWDY fan and you've been in a movie theater or watching TV lately, you may have been surprised to hear a very familiar song synced up to the trailer for Denzel Washington and John Travolta's latest summer blockbuster trailer. The movie is a remake titled "The Taking of Pelham 123" and the TWDY song "There Are Some Remedies Worse Than The Disease" is featured prominently over the entire second half of the theatrical trailer.

We're all super happy with the edit and you can view the results for free via the trailer found at:

THIS WILL DESTROY YOU TO PERFORM AT ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES WITH DEVO, THE JESUS LIZARD, & SLEEP

You read that correctly. Not only is DEVO headlining ATP, THE JESUS LIZARD reforming for it, and SLEEP playing "Holy Mountain" in its entirety, but god dammit, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU is also going to be a part of it all. Having had the privilege of being with the band from the early days and subsequently watching this band grow from such humble beginnings to such great international recognition over the years, I can genuinely say that this is one of those moments in life where it's hard to wipe the smile from my face (no matter what else is going on in the world).

The festival will run from May 8-10 at Butlins Holiday Centre in Minehead, Somerset (that's in the UK). Also on the bill are some favorites and friends (PINK MOUNTAINTOPS, SPIRITUALIZED, GRAILS) and numerous notables (BEIRUT, M83, ELECTRIC WIZARD, tons more).

STICKY ICKY : June 26, 2009

Mark's down to the final weeks of filming (our 3rd collaborative skate DVD), so I've started the art process. Here's a quick shot from my sketchbook, so that you can get a sense of where the art is going on this one.

The premiere will be in the Central Rappahannock Regional Library here in Fredericksburg on June 26, so please plan to attend. Plenty of good things in store that haven't been revealed yet...

Desert Sessions collection: COMPLETE!

Thanks to Atomic Records (Milwaukee) and Sahan for hooking up vol. 1, a record that's eluded me for like 8 years (I started on vol. 3).

These are all the original 10"s and the one 7" w/PJ. Done!

THIS WILL DESTROY YOU & LYMBYC SYSTYM "Field Studies" LP's are in

Technically, these don't hit stores until March 24. However, you can get copies now direct from Magic Bullet if you just can't live without it.

The CD has been out for about a month and it's on iTunes, etc. etc.

LUX INTERIOR : 1946-2009

I bought "Bad Music For Bad People" in 1987 at the tender age of 11 over in Germany. My brother and I would ALWAYS put it on while playing Nintendo (along with Exploited LP's for some reason), especially on snow days. Even my parents grew to memorize the lyrics and my brother and I would get PSYCHED whenever the garbage truck would come lift the dumpster near our place.

I can't say I've ever gone two weeks without listening to a Cramps record since :^).

If I made stickers calling your network's faceguy a "splotchy shithead," would you pay me for music?

Apparently the answer is "yes... twice even."

2008 SPX Football: Base, Rookies, and Rookie Auto Jersey Tier 1 & 2 complete

I guess it's fitting that in the last week of the regular season, I've essentially completed collecting the major components that comprise the 2008 SPX Football card set. The regular base set is complete (cards 1-90) and the regular serial numbered rookies (cards 91-150) are all here (pictured above).


In a bit of insanity, I also decided to collect all of the tier 2 autographed jersey rookies (cards 151-177), the tier 1 autographed jersey rookies (cards 179-185), and all of the non-jersey autographed rookies (cards 186-225). There is no card #178 for some reason.

Above is all of the tier 1 autographed jersey rookies (179-185): Brian Brohm, DeSean Jackson, Matt Ryan, Darren McFadden, Jamaal Charles, Devin Thomas, and Jonathan Stewart. As mentioned in a previous post, the absurdity of collecting these is pretty over the top, as there were only 325 possible sets produced (the cards are serial numbered). But since they're all distributed through packs, the actual number of complete sets in the world is a mere fraction of that. In fact, some would say that anyone attempting such a pointless accomplishment is certifiable. Well, here I am.


And now we have the tier 2 autographed rookie jerseys (above), which are numbered out of 599. There's a green parallel limited to 199. I tended to favor these over the 599 edition because of the far more interesting swatches (they tend to have pieces of patches and screenprint ink from the jerseys versus standard mesh). Standouts in tier 2 would be Joe Flacco, Matt Forte, Chris Johnson, Eddie Royal, Steve Slaton, and Felix Jones.


These two are about as crazy as it gets. They are part of the gold rookie jersey autograph parallel set. In the gold parallel, there's only 25 total sets made! So the Jordy Nelson is serial numbered #22/25 made and the Jake Long is #20/25. With the gold parallel, the materials usually include a ball swatch, a multi-color jersey patch swatch, and a mesh jersey swatch.

As for the non-jersey rookie autographs, I need two more that I'm waiting on to arrive: J. Leman and Ryan Clady. I'll definitely be pretty stoked when the last 2 cards I need show up at the house... pictures to follow accordingly.
