A Man’s Got To Have A Code

First of all, a big thank you to every one who bought the Japan-charity stuff!!! We were able to donate $170 to the Red Cross for Japan disaster-relief. It’s not much, but every little bit helps. Seriously, DOMO ARIGATO, y’all!

Next, we have a new compilation from our friends at Catfood Money Records up for sale in the MAILORDER section, which features a bunch of PNP bands, as well as some our favorite bands from around the USA and Japan. NICE! More details can be had HERE.

You can listen a preview of it here:

ALSO, we’ll soon be releasing a limited edition LP of Shinobu’s “Strange Spring Air”, which can be downloaded from our damies at QUOTE UNQUOTE for FREE. It should be available in time for the Asian Man Records 15 Year Anniversary shows in June. The LP will feature a slightly tweaked track order, some (we hope) fancy packaging, and has been specially remastered for your waxy listening pleasure. NIIICE!
