So. If I were the type to hold a grudge I’d never mention Suburban Home Records again and I’d give all SH artist who rolled through town wedgies (except Tim Barry, I ain’t fucking with that man) but I’m not that guy. Nope. Instead of holding a grudge I am gonna go to the virgil hates ninebullets Front Porch Musing / Suburban Home Showcase featuring…well, pretty much everyone; Micah Schnabel, The Only Sons, State Champion, Look, Mexico, Austin Lucas, American Aquarium, Glossary and Two Cow Garage. It’s gonna be a great show and I fully expect to get drunk on Virgil’s dime. The show is Saturday at Friends Bar and on the real, it’s gonna be pretty fucking epic. I’ll be the dude in the Florida State Seminoles hat. Come say hi. I’ll get you a drink on Virgil.
On another note…Suburban Home has opened the pre-orders for the official Suburban Home release of Micah Schnabel’s (Two Cow Garage) solo album, When The Stage Lights Go Dim. Folks, this really isn’t the album you wanna sleep on. When I originally reviewed it I said, “This album is perfect for winding down in the middle of the night with a whiskey while you wait for the amplifier ring to subside a little. While it might not be a very easy cd to get right now, it’s easy to put it on the Essential Listening list, and I suggest you put the effort into acquiring it.” Well, now it’s real damn easy to get, so do it cause it’s still Essential Listening.
And finally, I know I slept on the last SH comp for damned near 4 months before mentioning it but not this time. Vol. II of Virgil’s hiphop mixtape culture inspired comps has come out and once again Virgil is asking folks to get it out by whatever means necessary and since I am all about getting the music to y’all I will oblige. Once again, I have 4 copies one more copy of this sumbitch that I’ll give away with a ninebullets.net sticker to the first 4 people who email me their mailing address and for those of you that don’t visit the site enough times a day to get in on the giveaway I have a download link for y’all…but I expect more from you next time.

So there you go. A whole shitload of Suburban Home Records news even though they’ve decided to shun us. I’d like to say it feels good to be the better man but it’s a fucking lie.

I thought you were gonna be the drunk, shirtless guy with the muffin top?
yeah. that too. SxSW is really long.
That’s one hell of a compilation!!!
Some I know and love, and a few I have never heard of!!!
Email sent!!
You know I love you fuckers. I get it though. If we are gonna have a Biggie Smalls/Tupac rivalry, who’s biggie smalls? I am the bigger (fatter) man so I guess I know who I am.
And before anyone thinks I don’t have love for Nine Bullets, come down to our SXSW party and I will drunkenly tell you what’s up.
I think Skinny Legged Girl is one of the wittiest songs Micah’s ever wrote.
I am the bigger (fatter) man so I guess I know who I am.
Lolz. I dunno. You ain’t seen me in a while.
@Virgil: I don’t know I am a pretty big dude…and I doubt I look as good in a do-rag as Tupac.
I bet got both you and AIV beat on the big man thing. But we can always whip ‘em out (our beer guts you perverts) and see at some point during SXSW. I know I got both you fuckers beat on the pasty white boy thing. I work in a damn basement!!!
The SH comp is purty great. If for nothing else but hearing 2CG express their admiration for the Beatles. (Their next album title in fact is, “F-bombing the Beatles”)
Micah’s solo effort’s none-too-shabby either. If you want it signed, though, bring your own sharpie…
Great, we’re going to have a fat-off in austin. I knew I kept that keg around for a reason…
hey buddy, i just wanted to say thank you for listening and tell ya how much i appreciate stuff like this. it means a lot to me and the boys. hope you’re well and see ya in Austin! ms
