5 bands that were all awesome AND all had at least 1 female member.  How fucking cool is that??
 

Okay, writing a Pony Time bio right now, go to the catalog and by their tape!! Adding sexy gay rat DSBR+T shirts to the catalog soooooooon!

There are so many things happening that I forget to tell you about them!  But soon I'll let you guys know all about the new Triumph of Lethargy/Cave Singers split 7", the Triumph double LP, the Pony Time tape, the Strong Killings record and comic book and how in July there's going to be a 2-day DSBR mini-fest/showcase in Seattle! Exciting! More soon!

So everything is in production for Telepathic Liberation Army's debut record Phase One.  The band will have copies for sale at their record release show at Chop Suey on May 6th- Mark your calendars!!

You can totally email KEXP (http://kexp.org/about/email.asp?email=dj) and request Coldest Morning Light from the Pharmacy's new record "Weekend" - Out next Tuesday!

Hey, here's a little something for you- You can download a mp3 of The Pharmacy covering the Japanther song Selfish Kids live! http://www.sendspace.com/file/c3u016

This morning I got woken up because Scotty and Stefan (from The Pharmacy) were watching Looney Tunes (Toons?) in my living room.  Specifically it was Stefan cackling that woke me up.

Seattle bros- tonight is The Pharmacy's last show in town until June or July so come to The Comet and check it out.  Tomorrow night Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death are playing at Black Lodge and I'll be there too!

Check it out- fancy new website!  It's still a bit of a work in progress, tour dates, videos and music player are still to come... But look at how nice it is!

Pretty soon there will be tour dates listed over there ----------------------->

For now check out myspace pages for dates in your town.  There are links on the all the bands pages.

Today I got to check out some of the rough mixes for Triumph's upcoming record - I'm excited.  You should all get excited too.  Tide yourselves over with the Your Heart Breaks / Triumph of Lethargy S.A.T.D. split 7"!

Listen to them here -http://www.myspace.com/telepathicliberationarmy- for right now until the media player on this website gets sorted out.  Record release show May 6th at Chop Suey!  Get pumped.

In a repeat of the great X-Files marathon Scotty and I are working on all of Star Trek: The Next Generation before he leaves on tour.  I think we're going to make it- We may even have time for all of the TNG-related movies.

Did I mention I'm not doing cd's anymore?  There just doesn't seem to be a point to it... I will continue to sell the releases that are already on cd, once they are gone they are gone.  But you'll always be able to get digital download versions!

New Pharmacy record!  Officially out March 9th, available from the band now at showzzz!

Your Heart Breaks, 7", artwork by Nate Powell and white vinyl - Check out the amazing new Your Heart Breaks / Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death 7"!  It's got Your Heart Breaks doing Live Wire (that's the "Crue fans are the best, you can fuck all the rest" song, you guys.  You know which one I mean) and Triumph covering the Iggy Pop / David Bowie classic Neighborhood Threat with lead vocals by the lovely Cap Lori.  So it's on white vinyl, it comes with a digital download, Nate Powell did the beautiful art.  If you don't pick up a copy you are missing out, man.

The Your Heart Breaks (feat. Kimya Dawson) / Paul Baribeau 7" is back in stock (finally!)!  And this time it's on white vinyl.  It still comes with Paul Baribeau and Clyde Petersen postcards and art by Nate Powell and includes a digital download.  Go to the catalog page and buy it.

I gotta figure out how to change the timezone on this this- it's only 3:45 am.

See Me River records, you guys.  There are 2 of them, buy them both.  And if you're in Seattle go see them on Wednesday the 17th.

I'm updating the website- Something I haven't done in a thousand years.  But look at this new website!

Hey, you know that out-of-print Your Heart Breaks / Paul Baribeau 7"? Well, I put in the order to repress it today! And it's gonna be on white vinyl this time! Should have it in time for Paul's upcoming tour and for What The Heck fest. Yeah!

I'm totally considering a Don't Stop Believin' Records calendar, you guys. 12 sexy months of glossy glamour shots.

Okay, I fixed the pictures in the update below so they aren't messing up the margins of the page anymore. Also, once again I am struck by what a sausage-fest this record label is.

Seattle's Only Newspaper- The Stranger has a Sex Survey they would like you to take. One of the questions on this survey is "Which Seattle Musician Would You Most Like To Bang?" They helpfully provide some suggestions, including DSBR's own Team Gina and 3/4 of Tacocat (aka the women in Tacocat). This is all very well and good for those of us who prefer the ladies, but perhaps dudes are more your speed? But you would also like to vote for a DSBR artist to bang? Well, you're in luck because there is a write-in option! And please allow me to suggest for you some of the Seattle-based hunks of Don't Stop Believin' Records.

The other 1/4 of Tacocat!


He's 6'5" and wears size 15 shoes! Look at that head of hair!

Clyde from Your Heart Breaks!


He writes love songs and his shaggy hair is often in his eyes!

Dashel Schueler!


He's all bearded and politically active!

The Terrordactyls!

They're animal lovers with great abs!

5/6 of See Me River!


They need new promo pictures so that you can see everyone in the band!

Strong Killings!



Not to repeat myself- but look at those heads of hair!

So, this took way longer to write than I thought it would and the pictures are fucking up the tour dates. Anyway, sex survey, hot dudes, etc.

So, The Pharmacy did a Europe-only split 7" with Japanther and I bought some copies from Bachelor Records so now YOU should buy some copies from the catalog page.

Here's an update that doesn't matter, but people do ask me about it sometimes-- Scottie and I did finish watching all of the X-Files. Watching that last season is like doing chores, man. But the last episode is the big pay-off for sure.

Oh man! Check out the See Me River video for Don't Pray For Blood that Brendhan Bowers (drummer from The Pharmacy, remember?) made. We went over to Vashon and shot it in July and August. It's beautiful.

Wow guys, I've got a lot of updates. I'm just gonna do them in the order that I remember... First, new record! See Me River have new 5 song record out that is a split release with Aviation Records. We already did the full length Time Machine together and just out a couple weeks ago is the brand new 12" The Great Unwashed. Because that's what I'm into everybody- vinyl. Don't worry, it comes with a cd of the record so you can put it on your ipod. Check the catalog!

Tacocat album release show on Thursday! It's at Fusion Cafe (in the better, less huge-empty-cave-of-echoing-sound room that's to the left) which means it's all ages!

Lots of news:

1)Tomorrow the your heart breaks/Paul Baribeau 7" will arrive on my doorstep! Nate Powell did all the art for the record and the 2 postcards that are included in the sweet, sweet package. Go to the catalog page and order it.

2)I got the tacocat test pressings- it sounds awesome on vinyl, man.

3)Team Gina are in the studio recording their new record with Radio Sloan (Radio Sloan, son. I know, right?). It's almost done!

4)New band! See Me River- their album Time Machine will be a split release between don't stop believin' and Aviation Records. Check 'em out!

5)The Pharmacy came back for 12 days, now they're gone again. On the morning they left Kyle Johnson took their pictures- here they are. Does the picture of Stefan and his grandma warm your heart, too?
Scottie and I made it most of the way through season 5 of X-Files. We're getting closer. --Megan

Yesterday I made tacocat get their pictures taken in the pouring rain and intermittent hail. But don't feel bad for them because I bought them dried fruit and pizza. Check out the pictures here! Kyle Johnson took them, they look awesome.

Today I went to Snohomish and got the brand new Paul Baribeau song The Rolling Clouds mastered. It's going on the Your Heart Breaks/Paul Baribeau split 7" that's going in the mail to the plant tomorrow morning! --Megan

03/16/08, 8:18pm

Oh man, a lot of stuff has happened since the last time I updated the news... First, Scotty and I did not manage to watch every season of X-Files before he left on tour. In fact, we only made it about 5 episodes into season 3. Turns out we have a lot more to do with our lives than we thought.

Wow, why did I put that as the first update? I mean, the beautiful new Pharmacy album is out, available on LP, CD, Itunes (check the catalog page!) and even cassette tape (from Highfives and Handshakes. Seriously guys, it's beautiful in looks and content. The release shows this weekend were great- Check out some great pictures from the Friday show here!They're on tour with pleasureboaters right now! Check out the dates to the right and go see both of them on tour!

And there was a pretty awesome article in the Stranger about me that you can see here. I'm an idiot for naming my record label the way I did. --Megan

The Pharmacy are about to leave on their west coast tour and when they get to San Francisco (Thursday) they're going to pick up their records!

Also, I just got some awesome posters printed for The Pharmacy, pleasureboaters and the Pharmacy/Japanther tour coming up in May.

Today I did an interview for a feature about the label in next weeks Stranger, during which I announced I could listen to American Beauty 100 times in a row. I bet that's the part that ends up larger and in bold.

Lastly, Scottie and I are attempting to watch all 9 seasons of the x-Files before he leaves on tour for a month. My earlier calculations determined we would need to watch approximately 11 hours a day. We're really behind. --Megan

UPDATE: Those were reduced fat Ritz crackers. Did you notice? They don't taste as delicious. And your ex-boyfriend bought me a whole new box. Shut it down, Bree. I can't find the new box, however. -Lelah

UPDATE: Bree Mckenna of Tacocat ate all of drummer Lelah Maupin's Ritz crackers while Maupin and Emily Nokes (singer of Tacocat) are on a visit to Longview, WA.Earlier in the evening, Megan Birdsall informs Mckenna that paper mache doesn't stick to tin foil. Mckenna had a difficult attempt at constructing coyote masks the night prior, a task that had been previously completed by one Megan Birdsall with minimal difficulty. Unfortunately, said masks were lost in Georgetown.UPDATE 2: Megan Birdsall's moon sign is also a Libra, making her a Libra-Libra. Tonight, the moon is actually in Libra, making it possible for Megan to shoot laser beams out of her eyes.
DSB Libra's:
Megan Birdsall
Scott(ie) Yoder
Eric Randall
Bree Mckenna
Emily Nokes
-- Bree

Okay, so you want to know something interesting? Dashel is an extra in 10 Things I Hate About You. Look for red hair in the prom scene! --Megan

Let's talk some more about how great this website looks now, shall we? Aaron (he plays guitar in Yes, Oh Yes) is a goddamn genius and totally awesome for building this whole thing. We were up until 7am this morning and then he had to go get on a fucking airplane to fly halfway across the country.In honor of this awesome site from now on the news stuff is going to get updated way more, and not just by me ("me" being Megan, who runs this stupid record label) but hopefully by Aaron, Scottie (from the pharmacy), Lelah (tacocat's drummer and also my totally great, totally legitimate and getting-school-credit-for-it intern),and Bree (tacocat's bassist and also my totally-illegitmate and not-really-at-all, but squawks-when-I-say-she-isn't "intern"). --Megan (yeah, if more than one person is going to do this now we're going to have to sign our names)

New website! Look at this! It's great, right?Sooooo, the pharmacy's new record is at the plant right now. Check out a couple of tracks from it on the brand new MEDIA PLAYER (!!!) in the bottom left corner of your screen (I know, right? Aaron made that whole thing from scratch.) and look at the videos on the, well, videos page.Also, tacocat will probably be done recording someday. Probably.

The Terrordactyls cd will be ready to ship on Saturday! Check out the sweet promo Tyrel put together for it:

Also, you know what else is going to be completely awesome any day now? This website! We're (when I say "we" I mean Aaron from Yes, oh Yes while I sit next to him and play spider solitaire and demand different color palettes) re-building it all! End of the year, it's gonna look fucking great! Also, the pharmacy are done recording and TacocaT are almost done recording -- even more new releases soon!

The Terrordactyls limited edition Pharmacy cover EP is at the plant and will be released December 15th!It's gonna have trading cards, guys. Trading Cards. Also, next up is the TacocaT 7" the 10 song TacocaT 7", that is. They're recording right now and should be done this week. Look for the release some time in mid-January. Also finishing up in the studio- The Pharmacy! Brand new full-length that's been a long time coming. Seattle release shows for that on February 1st and 2nd- one 21+ and one all-ages! Exciting times!

This Friday (the 12th) is the vinyl release show for Pleasureboaters full-length Gross! at The Vera Project.

Dude, the Yes, Oh Yes 7" looks sooo good! It's one of those sleeves that folds so on the inside it's got all the song lyrics and a little woodgrain all hand drawn! I think I need to add pages for all my releases so you can see the art and get a full track listing. Good idea. Anyway, the Bellingham release show was sweet and this Friday Seattle gets their chance to see Yes, Oh Yes and pick up the new 7" at The Dog Park as part of Carousel Festival. And then the guys head off on tour with membership. Check out the tour schedules and see if they're coming to your town. Lucky, lucky you!

Two-- no, wait- THREE 7" release shows for Yes, Oh Yes! First, 2 chances to catch them in Bellingham on August 18th- at 4pm at Everyday Music and then at 8pm at The Old Foundry with Shorthand for Epic and The Love Lights. On August 24th see them and membership on the first stop on their tour at The Dog Park as part of Carousel Festival!

More new bands! A sweet 3 song 7" from Yes, Oh Yes is being pressed even as you read this! Next up is casy and brian with a 4 song 7" on gold vinyl and then pleasureboaters full length gross on cd and vinyl. Finally, the terrordactyls super limited edition pharmacy covers ep! Exciting, right?

Seriously dudes, this summer is gonna be HUGE! Check back real soon for some detailed updates of impending hugeness. In the meantime, check out the Team Gina interview at VenusZine.com.

Hey, there's a new pony in the stable! (god, I really think that whole "pony" and "stable" thing is hilarious...) It's Pleasureboaters and they fucking rule. Look for their first full length this summer! I have a copy of rough mixes of 3 of the songs that are gonna be on the record (yes, record 'cause this release will be on cd and vinyl) and I cant stop listening to it. Go see them, they're amazing live.

I'm almost done folding 1000 cd booklets by hand!

Look at how sweet this comp is!
You can get it from any of the bands, from my catalog page or (in Seattle) from the Capitol Hill Sonic Boom (more locations coming soon!)

Oh man, total Kinkos nightmare Saturday night. Anyway, the sleeves should be back from the printers Friday afternoon... If you're in Seattle come to the Comet and see the pharmacy, Holy Ghost Revival and Tulsa or come to The Wild Rose and see Team Gina that night to pick up a copy. I myself will be walking back and forth between the 2 shows all night.

So, looks like the comp cd (which is called Ponies in a Stable, which is really only funny to me) should be done by the end of the month! Just in time for Your Heart Breaks to head to Europe and The Pharmacy's 2.5 month tour.

Check it out! Sweet comp cd on the way-- look at the bands!Casy and Brian, the pharmacy, Karl Blau, Yes oh Yes, Scream Club, Western Graves, The Trashies, Fake Feathers, cloudsasha, the Flexxx, Angelo Spencer, Gina Young, the Holy Ghost Revival, Tulsa, T.v. Coahran, Captain Chaos, Team Gina, Your Heart Breaks, Membership, Dashel Schueler, The Dead Science, the Casual Lust, Razz m'Tazz, Paul Baribeau, and The Pasties. Pretty great, right? Also coming soon a Casy and Brian 7 inch with unreleased songs!

I haven't updated this thing for 7 months. Wow, what is my fucking problem? So, dsbr-004 came out in November, Your Heart Breaks Sailor System. On January 5th if you're in the Seattle area come check out the cd release show for dsbr-005 Team Gina Gina Gina Revolution at the Wild Rose. If you're not in the Seattle area, you're in luck 'cause they leave on a national tour on January 6th. Click that link above and see when to go see them in your town. They're not coming to your town? Or you just want to learn all the lyrics before they get there? Then head other to the catalog page and order it Gina Gina Revolution today! (and I'll mail it to you on January 3rd.)

I just wanted to tell everyone about when I went to pay The Pharmacy's car insurance (since they couldn't find a washington mutual in whatever state they were in)... so I'm standing there giving money to the agent and some woman also in the waiting room leans over and says "Excuse me, sir, but you really need to pull up your pants." I mean, I probably DID need to pull up my pants, but what business is it of hers? I'm a 25 year old woman... I'm gonna wear my pants however I want. Ya heard? oh, yeah and the Pharmacy will be home in a matter of hours.

Wow, I never update this page. But I'm totally going to start updating all the time for the 3 people who look at this website (Hey guys, thanks for stopping by...). let's see, the pharmacy is nearing the end of their y2k6 spring break tour, the van broke down twice, but they're still having fun. Come see Dashel on Vashon on the 14th, he may even have t-shirts by then. And in ultra exciting news, looks like dsbr-004 is going to be a cd from Your Heart Breaks! Totally awesome! It will probably be out sometime in the fall... meanwhile check out their website and buy their other albums and go see 'em at Plan-It-X fest, where every pony from the Don't Stop Believin' Records stable can be seen this July! Exciting!

The Pharmacy is in the Stranger big shot competiton! If you live in Seattle go vote for them between the 15th and 20th at these locations--
*Wall of Sound
*Everyday Music
*Easy Street Records (all locations)
*Sonic Boom Records (all locations)
*Jive Time Records
*Tower Records (all locations)
*Silver Platters (all locations)
*Respect Records
*Cellophane Square
If they get enough votes they get to be play a show with the other two top bands at Neumos and then when they win that they get a whole bunch of totally sweet prizes that they totally need. Vote!
Also, we are about to start silkscreening the 7" sleeves.

The 'Patience' mp3 on Dashel's page finally works. The quality isn't stellar, but you should be buying the album with money, not listening to it for free. Haven't you heard that downloadable music is killing the music industry? Just ask Metallica... Lars will tell you all about it.

First off- Hooray! 'B.F.F.' is #27 on the Three Imaginary Girls top NW albums of 2005! And in other ultra-exciting news, both The Pharmacy and Dashel are playing at Plan-It-X fest this summer! Check out www.plan-it-x.com! It's exciting!

Go to Three Imaginary Girls and vote for the pharmacy!

Dashel's cd has arrived! If you want to order it from me ($10ppd) check out the contact page for my address or use paypal (pay to dontstopbelievin@hotmail.com). If you are in Seattle it should be in stores soon.

Today I'm going to mail off the stuff for Dashel's album and the 2nd press of The Pharmacy 'B.F.F.' (all new artwork for the new press!!) I bought $3.85 stamps so I don't even need to set foot in the post office. Ah, this modern age.
