Mexican Summer record club features Dungen, more

|
Following in the footsteps of Sub Pop, Merge and many others, NYC-based record label Mexican Summer has announced a rare music subscription service, which offers up ultra-rare, limited-edition vinyl for ever-demanding collectors and music fans alike. Subscribers to Mexican Summer's record club receive two exclusive albums a month from artists as varied as Sweden's psych-rockers Dungen to Chicago's resident metalheads Nachtystium (whose version of black metal is so black, light cannot escape its pull). And if you've moved on out of the stone age and listen to MP3s on your iZunePodplayer or whatever, you're also in luck. Each record comes with a link to a website where you can download a free digital copy of the vinyl you just received. Everybody wins!

Fader to Release Black Lips/YACHT 7

|

You could pout at Fader and Southern Comfort for releasing a mere 500 copies of the records in its special 7" vinyl series, or you could accept that’s how "limited edition" works, and bust ass to get a piece. Here are some tips to getting your hands on the magazine’s newest, featuring unreleased tracks by Black Lips and YACHT (see cover art above).

"The records will be created and distributed to top DJs, artists and influencers."

What are you doing with your life? Do you love tight spaces and expensive headphones? Be a DJ! Are you sad? Probably because you haven’t been honing your craft. Be an artist! And we guess they’re giving the rest to kindergarten teachers and football coaches, because those people mold young minds for tomorrow.

Or, you could try and try to "win exclusive recordings online at thefader.com.” This might be your best bet, unless you have cooler friends.

The A-Side features a Black Lips cover of The Tamrons’ "Wild Man" and the B-Side a YACHT tune called "No Favors Policy." It is a distinct type of rarity falling somewhere between upside-down airplane stamp and rocket-firing Bobba Fett action figure.
