We've unearthed some rare beauties and have made them available in the shop with a scrawl from the Lord of Lard. Please remember when you order that they've got to go to him for scrawling and then back to us for shipping. If you need them super fast, make that known and we'll invoice you for an express shipping method add-on. All proceeds, as usual, go to Raymond's new release fund.

Gems include the German pressing of Sick City / Shit For Brains which includes Peoria and the proper version of the artwork by the late Mike Matthews.

Also, Baltimore's Nasty Byte got in touch and let us know she's moved her video from the 2006 tour to Vimeo. You can check it out here:

The Swining and I, Absentee present the Raymond Watts and John Gosling remix of The Kidnapping of Anna Wildsmith, now available for purchase in the Swining shop. You can hear the sample there. All sales go to Anna.

This remix was part of what was planned to be either a 12" vinyl or digital-only remix EP from SOW. The plan was to make dance floor mixes for DJs, but the idea just never fully blossomed. We ended up with a fantastic remix from Watts and Gosling, completed in February 2010.

However, we had no clear outlet for where to release it, as "Dog" had just gone to press and the EP idea fell into limbo. It's possible the track could still see physical release someday, but there's no set time table for it at this point. Rather than leave the track gestating for months or possibly years, in the meantime, we thought we'd offer it as a one-off download purchase, based on the recent enthusiasm from fans.

You can purchase Sow's album Dog on the Sow website. Check out the album sampler. Sow - DOG album sampler

Over a decade ago, Elastica's Mad Dog fell into the clutches of our God of Gammon and he did his filthy business to it. We think it got too heavy for the bouncy indie pop mavens but we can't be sure. Hear Raymond twist it like a lime slice, right here, gratis.
