Psyched to welcome Sky Picnic to the EVR show tomorrow. Their new Paint Me A Dream album was one of my absolute favorites from 2012. Tune on in 2-4pm ET for a chat and acoustic session!
Behold the mighty Foxygen. These kids rule. The pic above is from when they came and played live on my East Village Radio show in early 2012.
Jagjaguwar signed them up in the meantime and officially issued their amazing self-made LP, Take the Kids Off Broadway, and the world sang their praises in unison! What we have below is a video for the song, “San Francisco”, from Foxygen’s new album, We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic, out January 22nd on Jag. So let’s just stop talking and enjoy this very pleasurable song and video…
<<< Happy New Year! Wishing You the Absolute Best for 2013…and Beyond >>>
On this first day of the New Year, we invite you to kick off your year on the right note…with the new BBiB Records 2013 Subscription Service!
Become a member of this true ‘record club’ and get every BBiB Records release delivered to your door…plus special bonus booty!
Here’s the deal. There will be at least 5 new releases in 2013, all of which you’re gonna flip for. And of course all of which will be released on glorious vinyl. You’re gonna want these beauties brought straight to your doorstep. Trust us.
Here’s what’s a-coming:
- Kiki Pau’s Pines (one of the most beautiful albums ever)
- Quilt and MMOSS split 10″ – one brand new tune from each band plus some collabo-jamming! (pre-order coming in a few days)
- LA Kraut-jammers JJUUJJUU‘s debut EP (pre-order in a few days)
- a new Velcro Lewis Group LP (woo-hoo!)
- …and a mystery LP from a mystical band of nomadic, sun-worshipping Swedes
Here is what you can count on for a mere $75:
- 5 BBiB Records-curated brand-new vinyl releases (no shipping fees!)
- At least 3 bonus items (could include bonus tracks/demos, vinyl tote bags, t-shirts, mixed tapes, stickers, a baby’s arm holding an apple, artists’ underpants, etc.)
- Our undying gratitude and respect for your musical taste
- The joy and convenience of having the best music on the planet (and beyond) delivered to your doorstep!
And if you subscribe in the month of Jamuary, you will get a handmade, one-of-a-kind custom mixtape made personally for you by BBiB’s own Marc Norman! (Digital mixtape for non-US addresses and by request).
So subscribe below and come with us on our epic musical journey.
*And if you already have ordered Kiki Pau’s Pines but you still want to subscribe, then just tell us in a note in Paypal when you’re checking out and we will replace the Kiki Pau vinyl with Prince Rupert’s Drops’ Run Slow. If you already have the PRD album and you’ve also pre-ordered the Kiki Pau album, then you’re the best and we’ll replace it with the first release of 2014 or maybe even a BBiB Records t-shirt. Either way, what we’re trying to say is that you won’t get any duplicates. And you’re sexy.
**AND, huge thanks to everyone who has supported us so far with our inaugural release from Prince Rupert’s Drops.
I’ll honor the great Mr. Zappa on Friday (on what would have been his 72nd birthday) with an all-Franky Beyond Beyond is Beyond show on East Village Radio. Come freak out, Suzy!
Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio, Friday, December 21st, 2-4pm ET
UPDATE: Freak out to the archive…
I love MMOSS. And I love their new Only Children album. Put it on my Best of 2012 list. Check out this great new vid for “Hands.” And keep on the lookout for the upcoming MMOSS/Quilt split 10″ on BBiB Records in March!

And we’re proud to share Kiki Pau’s magically-sublime ‘Pines’ album with the rest of the world and beyond!
Pines will come out on lovely translucent green gatefold vinyl on February 5th. Oh yeah, and of course digitally. And perhaps we’ll even make some cassettes for you tape-heads. Until then though, you can pre-order here. And of course check out ‘Tomte Mars’ and the accompanying great write-up on SPIN…
Dear dudes, as you well know, the effects of Hurricane Sandy will continue to be felt by many throughout the Winter. And one of the organizations that is doing the absolute best and most work with the resources they are given is Occupy Sandy.
So we at Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records are going to donate 50% of the proceeds from this BBiB Records vinyl tote straight to Occupy Sandy, who will be getting help straight to those suffering most. Not to mention the tote is gonna look damn good hangin’ from your shoulder. I can already picture you now. Wow, you’re hot!
Anyway, enough about you, grab one for holiday gifts for everyone in the family and do lots of good at the same time!
ORDER HERE
All right, Nashville’s young pop-psych outfit The Paperhead is definitely one of my favorite new bands out there now. And this Focus in on the Looking Glass LP, originally recorded in 2009/10 and released on cassette on Infinity Cat when the lads were a mere 17/18 years old, is delightfully-far out ear and mind candy.
So BBiB would like to kick some candy down to you. Thanks to the good folks at Ample Play, we have a copy for one lucky commenter.
To be entered to win The Paperhead’s Focus in on the Looking Glass, comment below with your favorite type of candy, psychedelic or otherwise.
One winner will be chosen on Thanksgiving and we are able to accommodate European entries too, so fire away!
