Back from vacation! Up next: Xasthur Vinyl manufacturing and promo, getting the Mamaleek vinyl release set up, and finishing the elusive Giles Corey album and book. Watch for more news and such about all those projects soon.

In the meantime, here’s Last.fm group member ThisDesRe being totally awesome:

After many long months of slaving away in front of a hot computer, ENEMIES LIST is taking a break.

It’s only 4 days. However, if you need to get in touch with us, feel free to drop us a line via the contact page. We’ll get back to you as soon as we get back.

In the meantime, though? No Internet, Not Ever. That’s right: I’m going completely internet-free. Disconnecting, as it were. Hopefully this will let me get a bunch of reading done, as well as get my head in the right place to come back and finish the Giles Corey record, as well as get the Xasthur and Mamaleek vinyl releases out to the world.

See you in a few days.

That’s Will Barrett of Afterlives fame up there, along with the beautiful Samantha. You may have noticed that the Afterlives debut, “A Ticking Clock I Couldn’t Stop”, has sold out. That means it will soon be available in the store as a 5$ digital download. I’ll put it up as soon as I get a good digital transfer of it.

Mamaleek has a new artist page up, including two exclusive songs from their upcoming record, Kurdaitcha. This shit is incredible.

The “No Fun, Not Ever” shirts have been way more popular than we ever expected. It’s very gratifying to know that all of you are No Fun, just like we are.

I’d love to feature more shots like this one – pictures of the “No Fun” shirts in the wild. I’ve seen quite a few, so if you’d like us to feature your pic here, just shoot me an email.

Also, we are no longer taking donations for the FUCK CANCER Walk. More about how it went soon!

America Addio’s incredible sophomore release, Cotton Kingdom, is finally available! Check it out in the ENEMIES LIST store now. All profits are being donated to Heifer International, an organization that fights poverty and hunger by providing useful and profitable animals to needy families. You can read more about their work over here.

I love, love, love this record. I listen to it constantly, and I’m really excited to see people’s reactions. You can preview the whole thing here (click on the individual songs to get the full-length preview). I’m listening to it as I write this and I have a huge, stupid grin on my face. So awesome.

In other news, you may have noticed that this website was down for an extended period of time. That’s my bad – I had no idea, when I started the whole process, that we’d be gone for three fucking days right before we were supposed to release a record.

In any case, ENEMIES LIST is now located at new servers with infinite bandwidth. That should improve our overall performance and uptime, as well as provide for the unexpected explosion of our proxy server, CTKVLT.COM, which is used by many people in countries with restrictive internet regulations (as well as high school students reading porn and Facebook).

If you sent me an email in the last few days, I did not get it.
Try sending it again – really. Also, let me know if you notice any lingering weirdness on the site.

Did you know that the dude from Sleep In has a record label? It’s called Nightgull Records. And he’s selling his entire catalogue for 1.75$ apiece?

Seriously, this is completely ridiculous. This man is a genius. Did you check out the record he did for us?Because it is incredible. Really.

I am continually blown away by all the people involved with this label, on both sides of the production/consumption divide. Honestly, what the fuck did I ever do to deserve all this stuff?

Go out and buy music. Then start a band, make a demo, give it to your friends, start a fire, and blow someone’s mind.
