song for you lyrics ryan adams -- Self Aware Records/Zine/Printing

I can't believe it has been two months since the last update. Things have been slow on the record front while we wait for the Bandname LP "Breakfast" to be mastered. In the time being we've been working on the new zine, our 7th issue, and talking about the future. We are working on making download cards for band for super cheap so if it all works out then you might see a Self-Aware download card in the Bandname LP.

We have been chatting with Charlotte, NC, locals, Calormen (members of Wretched, Harvard), about doing an unorthodox release. I don't want to give too much away but the release will be primarily digital with some bells and whistles. It may take a few months before a proper "release" of the ep, "And The World Grew Stranger", due in part to their other bands' touring schedules, but there will be progress. In a few days, you should be able to get a taste of the new album, on the site, but for the time being, check them out on their myspace...

So we are still slowly working on making the site look really snazzy but for now, what you see is what you get. Also, we have big news to unveil.

The METH MOUNTAIN discography tape is finally out as is the new zine. It took awhile and is sorely behind schedule but I can't complain because both look great. The tape has 18 tracks and some unreleased songs by the young but now dead band featuring members of Grids, Obstruction, Lowbrow, Young and in the Way and Pullman Strike and also has a digital download card for your listening pleasure. The zine has interviews with the legendary screamo band, Raein and the always amazing Make Do and Mend and some histories on Concrete Sox, Dag Nasty and Entombed. Also features some jibs from Algernon Cadwallader and Bandname.

Purchase both, the zine and tape together, for $5. either hit me up on email for go to our webstore. either way I will hook you up with some ultra cheap shipping. Be excited!!!

The site is still under construction but I felt the need to elaborate on a couple things that I mentioned in the last post. We currently wrapping up our first release for 2010 which is the final recorded output of Meth Mountain before their breakup early this year. On top of it having what would have been their next ep it also includes allof their recorded output and compiles it into a cassette tape. The cassette discography will have a digital download card since you can't put tapes on your ipod. Also mentioned was the spring issue of Self Aware Zine. This will be our 6th issue so be excited. The issue will feature interviews with Raein, Make Do and Mend and also feature shorter pieces on Algernon Cadwallader and Philadelphia's own, Bandname among a slew of reviews and interesting tidbits. If all goes well the zine should be done in a manner of weeks!

On the aforementioned band, Bandname, we will be releasing their debut LP which is tentatively entitled, "Breakfast." If all goes as planned you can expect a late summer/early fall release. We are also trying to get some shirts, buttons and stickers printed so you can "rep" us hard.

So the site is under construction so there aren't many pretty images to be seen. I apologize so for the time being please feel free to go to our webstore and/or look at our old "site" here.

We can also be followed on facebook and myspace if that makes you feel any better. We are busy with things so don't write us off yet as lazy. We are currently wrapping up a late spring edition of the zine and are slowly working on releasing a tape and what will be Self Aware's first LP!!!
