A HAPPY NEW YEAR MIX FOR YOU

Happy New Year from the Italians crew. all reports from
San Francisco were that the Glass Candy New Years Eve
blowout was indeed a blowout and it was full of New
Years madness. Wish i was there.

But I had my thing at Rubulad and it was pretty crazy.
Also apologies for those of you who came out late to see me
and left when the cops came. After they left we started up and
went well into the late morning. Next time I play Rubulad I'll
put you on the list and buy you a drink, so email me (you
know who you all are).

ps: the midnight NYE tune was "Love Is In The Air"...

Anyway, to celebrate the arrival of 2008, we offer you a mix by our
own Qlint, who happens to be in TIEDYE. Our pal Pilooski of Dirty
Edits fame posted it on his blog and we are sending you to his
website to grab it. Its a zshare file so you can stream it live or
download it. The mix is pretty great. Look out for the third
track, which is a Tiedye edit of Tom Petty "Dont Come Around
Here No More". Its an Italians favorite!

old GLASS CANDY RECORDS unearthed!

hi. our distributor found some older out of print Glass
Candy records in their warehouse and we got them back
to sell in our store. we only have about 15 of each,
so jump on them fast if you want them. the records are:

Glass Candy 'I Always Say Yes' 12" - this is officially
out of print. We only pressed 1000 of these. Italians
may be repressing this in the future but it will have
different art and maybe even some different tunes.
so if you need this bad boy- grab it!!! This is the
Troubleman pressing. order it at the link below, and
scroll down a little. its towards the middle:

I ALWAYS SAY YES 12"Glass Candy 'Excitebike' 7"- an older Glass Candy 7" from the
period right before they went 100% electronic. These songs are
amazing though. they were doing balaeric disco punk years
before anyone else was. I remember people complaining
these songs were "too slow"! Boy how times have changed.
This is one of my favorite GC 7"s personally. The art is
great as well. order it at the link below, and
scroll down a little. its towards the middle:

EXCITEBIKE 7""
-these may not be up in the TMU store until tonight,
so check back later if they arent available yet. We are
waiting on our web dude to get home from his day job!

djhistory.com mystery mix up now

hello
did a mix for djhistory.com.

DOWNLOAD IT HERE
this mix is called "Mike's (near) Death Mix".
it was recorded a day after being sent home from
the hospital after having a near death asthma attack.
so apologies if the mix seems a little wonky at times. i was
tripping pretty hard on steroids and xanax! killer times.


PS: yes i know you can hear me cueing sometimes. yes i was
high, what do you expect? i dont even remember making
this mix. i was literally tripping.
