Convextion album on Downlow not limited release

December 10, 2006

The new Convextion album, initially limited to 500 copies, is going to be repressed as long as there’s demand.

I’m glad they’re taking that approach, and that their reasons for limiting the first pressing were just financial. I get aggravated when labels limit releases for seemingly no reason (and then trumpet the rareness and scarcity of a record that’s not even out yet).

A secret weapon track

July 12, 2006

After a lot of googling/discogging/last.fm’ing, I trainspotted an interesting track I heard earlier today:

Schneider TM vs. KPT.Michi.Gan - The Light 3000

It’s a synthpop cover of The Smith’s “The Light That Never Goes Out”. It’s somewhat of a poignant rendition, and isn’t cheesy at all. Check the link for a 30-second sample.
