- I was invited on the Psychic Ceremony program on CJLO this past Monday to talk about Initial Shock and present a playlist of some artists performing at the fest. The show is archived for a short while here.
- And with that, it’s one week until Initial Shock II! Advanced tickets are still available.
- 500 items have been selected for sale at Initial Shock. If you are attending the fest it’s still best to place your order online (before July 5th) using the Local Pickup option to ensure any items you want will be available.
- The next Absurd Exposition batch containing tapes from Arthur Canterbury, Death Glaze, and the Slacking / Jute / Systems / Toanche Dwelling 4-way double tape will be ready for Initial Shock weekend.
- Due to an inventory error, the latest items from Narcolepsia in last week’s update were not properly stocked in the shop. Copies of all are still available and up for ordering now.
