Brand new nonsense!

OK, so the beercanrecords.com site is currently not routing correctly. That, coupled with the fact that my current computer is very much on the fritz and incapable of handling any website updating software, has led the Beercan staff to make the executive decision to set up this blog page.

We're going to use this site to finally catch up on a shitload of CD/Demo reviews that have backlogged. Probably a bunch of stuff that gets posted is from bands that have since broken up, but it's a blog and the important thing is that opinions are posted...not that anyone reads them.

Plus, there is actual news on the Mushuganas compilation as well as a new It Burns 7" that we've recently released in conjunction with Let's Pretend Records.

Stick around...this should be a good time.

  1. so what is the "actual news" about the mushuganas discog?

    also, any consideration to offering the glaring omissions ("she's got a man," "18," "motivation," etc.) as iTunes-only exclusives (if they truly cannot fit on the CD)? it'd be a damn shame for those to be excluded entirely.

  2. Actual news is that we've finally cobbled together the money to put it out.

    As for the "glaring omissions", I would only include "She's Got a Man" in that category. That's a good idea to try to get that onto the Itunes version, so thanks.

    Again, without doing a double CD, we had to make some cuts and while "18" and "Motivation" are great songs, we figured most folks familiar with the Mushuganas already have those tunes in some format.

    We wanted to include as much hard-to-find, or unheard stuff as possible. Again-again, we fucked up on leaving out "She's Got a Man" but dig on some WHPK tunes, Live at the Sputnik tunes, Strawberry Shortcake, live banter, etc.

    In other words, give us a break...or don't.

  3. yeah, don't get me wrong... i'm totally pumped that y'all have taken on the daunting task of pulling this all together. many thanks!

    the only thing about "18" + "motivation" is sure, i got em on vinyl, but it'd just be nice to have clean digital versions, rather than some of the crappy rips that are floating around.
