Rich Treasures Pop-Up: Records

A selection of records will be available at the Rich Treasures Pop-Up, featuring a number of musical projects that I’ve been involved with. 8″ and 7″, lathe-cut, mono records that really get to the heart of what my various sounds and projects. There are limited quantities, and this music is not available in other formats, or on compilations. If you want these sounds, you will want to come to this event. One item is limited to one copy, so consider getting something quickly.

These records all have bonus materials that are unique to these items, too. Bonus collage inserts and ‘zines, download codes for items that are not on these records, and are not available elsewhere. And all the covers and items were printed and duplicated in The Lava Lamp Lounge, with a little help from Salem Blue Print Company. The lathes were cut by Gorbie Lathe Cuts in Milwaukie, OR. We really keep all of this stuff down home. One of these is a compilation, and comes with downloads of material from the first 15+ years of radio, a gift item what was available at my 40th birthday party (and not really very often since.

I love music, I love making music, and I love records. Hopefully you will love these records, too.

 

 

 

 

I’m really looking forward to the DIY Pop-Up happening at The Art Department. Please, join me!

This collection of electronic rock music, programmed by the Master Control Unit and performed by a loose collection of clones, cyborgs and androids, offers a unique look at the musical story of the future we have often been denied. Now, you can pick up these new sounds from deep, deep space.

SHOT REVERSE SHOT, from WTBC Records.

WE NOW LIVE IN THE FUTURE!

Another New Release! A Brand New Act! Our First 7”!

 

Half Eye is Seattle artist that began in the early 90’s, combining home recordings, indie rock riffs, and odes to Udo Kier, issuing a number of albums that are dark, murky explorations of longing and loss, with a sense of humor that is as much a puzzle as it evokes a guffaw. Over the last 30 years, Half Eye has cultivated a unique sonic pallet that is immediately recognizaable, and yet only implies influences without directly pointing fingers. 

Shot Reverse Shot materialized in the summer of 2020, when a sufficiently futuristic-sounding date had finally been achieved. This quintet of rock & roll androids, clones and cyborgs, have been locked in the server room this year, plugging into the Master Control Unit, so they can lock down the algorithms that will render their first tunes into sound recordings, in an audio range that you can hear! The first of these songs have been pushed to the server, and with Austin Rich producing these tracks, they are sounding pretty excellent. 

WTBC is very excited to be releasing their first 7”, and with the help of these two artists, we think this record, made by Gorbie Lathe Cuts, will be something very special. These songs are not available online, and comes with beautiful covers and a collaborative mini-zine, all designed by Half Eye & Shot Reverse Shot. Bonus digital materials will give you plenty to enjoy while you spin this 45, and people who purchase this record will get a special discount when purchasing the forthcoming Shot Reverse Shot album coming in December. 

Limited Quantities, on White, Lathe Cut Discs.

This is Rock Music! Not exactly an “experimental” release! 

Available in November. Pre-Order NOW!

$12 includes shipping. (A little more for outside the US.) 

WE NOW LIVE IN THE FUTRE.
