New at Dischord Direct:
Ian Svenonius – Supernatural Strategies For Making a Rock 'n' Roll Group
A new must read text from Ian Svenonius, the author of The Psychic Soviet and a former member of the revolutionary musical outfits, The Make-Up, and The Nation of Ulysses . Here, Svenonius communes with the spirits of long-departed rock stars –Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison, etc. – seeking insight into the history, meaning, and effective creation/destruction of the rock 'n' roll group. "Supernatural Strategies" has everything the would-be star should know to get started: Including sage advice on sex, drugs, sound, group photos, vans, and the manufacture of nostalgia. The book is available in paperback and also in a hardbound special edition signed by the author.
Oldest – S/T
Six tracks of raw, soot-caked avant-hardcore from New York's OLDEST, a duo that includes guitarist Mick Barr (Orthrelm, Krallice, Crom-Tech) and drummer Brooks Headley (Born Against, Wrangler Brutes, Universal Order of Armageddon). Heavy stuff.
Thanksgiving Orders
In observance of Thanksgiving, the Dischord office will be closed through the weekend. Orders placed during that time will begin to be processed when we return on Monday morning. Thanks for your patience!
