Three Lobed Recordings - 10th Anniversary
 

from their newsletter.....

"2010 marks our little label's 10th anniversary. It is kinda crazy to
think that this little "hobby" has turned into the label as it is
today. In celebration we are assembling a celebratory 4 LP box set
titled "Not The Spaces You Know, But Between Them." It will feature
exclusive side-long tracks from the following artists (in alphabetical
order) - Bardo Pond, Comets On Fire, Eternal Tapestry, Steve Gunn,
Mouthus, Sonic Youth and Sun City Girls. The one side that is not
being taken up in full by one of the artists listed above is being
split by new material from Wooden Wand and D. Charles Speer & the
Helix. This is going go be a lavish box featuring new artwork
throughout by one of our faves, old friend Casey Burns (http://
tinyurl.com/ykk55cb). Look for this one to come out in winter
2010-2011. There are a lot of additional details to sort out on this
one. Keep yr eyes on this space. We have been sorting through the
material we have received from this one and expect the gears to fully
turning on this one over the course of May and June."

This label is always putting out excellent stuff....im excited for this one.

sweeeet!

i haven't chimed in on an update on this one in a while so here goes - we're still working on it! ha - this is easily the biggest undertaking ever for the label and our artist, casey burns, is working on the artwork at the present. we can't do too much more in regards to the audio until we have it all in hand - we have most all of the box set music in hand (a full 3 of the 4 records - are waiting on two sides of stuff) as well as stuff for some bonuses that will go along with this one. the current target for this one is the first month or two of 2011. it's going to be great - so pumped.

this is news.

Can't wait!

Its gonna rule...

Sun City Girls?!!!!!!!!!

...whoa.

yes sir! this is one of the two final sides that i'm waiting on. this one is totally coming together nicely and all of the contributions that i have so far are very, very intense and top notch stuff. no filler here.

Man! Any idea when the SCG side was recorded? They'd supposedly wrapped up a "final album" last year but haven't released it yet. Or are they recording new material, just as Alan and Richard? Any news would be appreciated, I'll make sure and spread the word. So excited.

since i haven't heard it yet, i can't be 100% sure but i feel confident that it is archival (and not new) material. i know that alan and rick have a TON of SCG archival stuff that will permit many more SCG releases if they're so inclined. i too am anxiously awaiting that "final" studio album that they have been working on for a while. it will be glorious.

thank you, posting this info to some of my fellow scg fan friends :) Can't wait.

in response to the questions before about the SCG material, the SCG side to the three lobed 4x LP 10th ann box due out early next year will consist of three well recorded tracks taken from the band's final US show on 11/12/04 in austin. it rules.

we are finally about to have all of the stuff in place on the box to start taking pre-orders and whatnot (to help us get this ridiculous project off of the ground). look for more info on that front before too long - it's a great set as everyone involved has brought their "a" game. there will be some extra options bringing some extra fun to the table as well. ha.

As soon as I get mine I'm going to mainline a pound of heroin right through my eyeball! I can't wait! This is going to be the best day of my life.

Is the Comets on Fire contribution a new recording or one taken from the shelves?
It's been a long time, I was wondering about their current status.

the comets recording is similar to their "black cassette" collage work (if you are not familiar with it, check here -
http://silvercurrant.blogspot.com/20...-cassette.html ). it is a collage of rehearsal recordings from between 2006-2010.

I'm not familiar with that one, thanks for the link.
Good to know they're still jamming.
