Remember when Michael Jackson died? (EDIT DUMP ALERT)

...Seems like it was only a few months ago.. Oh wait- it
was a few months ago. This little ditty was composed the
afternoon he died while watching CNN footage and the
little man took his afternoon nap.

GLASS CANDY / DESIRE Europe Tour (with Mike on the weekends)

(Mike will be djing in Manchester on Nov 6)

back on Beats In Space

hello. in an effort to keep content on this blog
i am posting that i will be djig on Beats In Space
tomorrow. i hear its a pretty cool radio show.
you should check it out. I'll be playing mostly
weird left-field dance music tomorrow revolving
around post punk/synth and artsy fartsy dance
music.

the reason we have been so slow to update is
due to constant traveling/touring. Look out
for a new 12" in a few days added to the store,
as well as some other stuff like more shirts.
keep an eye out for glass candy/desire on tour
of europe in the upcoming months. Ill be
joining in for the fun on the weekends as i
have to hold it down at home during the week.

keeping the post punk theme going:

BEN MANZONE has better taste in music than all of us

my man Ben Manzone just started a podcast. Some of the
best tracks around. seriously....

OUT NOW ::: NITE JEWEL new 12" / GLASS CANDY shirts & totes

Hello from windy Melbourne. As promised we have
available a brand new NITE JEWEL 12" (with a beautiful
full color cover) and some more Glass Candy tour leftovers.
These are from earlier in the year, specifically the Euro
tour they embarked upon. When i saw these designs i
knew they would be a hit. They went over so well we
made a few extras for the people who couldnt make it
to the gigs. Check the store for these awesome titles.

As usual we have a very small number of these shirts
and totes! In other news, the GETO BOYS t-shirts are
almost all gone. When last checked we were down to
4 of each size. As far as shirts are concerned, the "12"
shirts are some of my favorites.

A few have asked about the measurements of the size
YOUTH LARGE (aka: X SMALL) shirts. The youth large
shirts arent super small. American Apparel shirts run
a little big and many traditional SMALLS like the size
youth large for a better fit. We are sold out of most of our
shirts but we have some youth large left in a few designs.
That is the only way you will be able to get these shirts,
as we will not be making more of them. We also lowered
the price on the youth large shirts!

FInally, all orders received after August 18th will ship
on or about September 1st. The Italians interns are all
starting school then, and i'm in Australia, and Ian is on tour
with his band, and Andrew is listening to the new M.O.P.
(which apparently isnt too good according to him)- so
please be patient! Thanks, as always!

Mike Simonetti Australian tour promo mix

hello. here is a mix i did for Australian radio Triple J.
It aired a few weeks ago and i am curious how it went
over since it is not your typical techno/electro fare.
Plus it was done in one take due to time constraints...
This mix was made entirely of Disconet 12"s. Every
track was either an exclusive Disconet edit or previously
unreleased track altogether. there are a few tracks
that were only released as a Disconet 12". Most
of these are of the Italo/boogie variety since I didnt
do an Italo mix in a while and you know- boogie
is very cool at the moment. There is a totally awesome
article on Disconet below:

here it is

Mike Australia tour 2k9 style

hello. i'll being heading back to Australia next week. I'm
very excited to be going back, since the last time was so
good. I have a few dates off in SYD so hit me up if you
want to go hit some record stores in the outskirts of SYD
on one of my days off.

also a few programming notes: during this time the IDIB
mailorder will be a little slower than normal. We will try
to get the interns in to send out some packages but this
is also when college starts so it may be tough. But keep
on ordering! Before I leave i am posting some new releases
to the IDIB store, so dont forget to order!

21 - SORRY GRANDMA CLUB, MELB
22 - RUBY TRAMP, GOLDCOAST
28 - SHAPE BAR, PERTH
