RYAN’S HOPE “Apocalypse In Increments” LP red vinyl

We just got word from Goodcore that they were sending us 20 more Ryan’s Hope “Apocalypse In Increments” on red vinyl. With only 100 being pressed, these will surely be gone and out of print before long. We sold the first 20 pretty quickly and expect these to go fast. Goodcore is also sending us a test pressing for a contest. When we receive this package, we plan to announce a winner. Good luck.

Our good buddy, James Freeman, joined us for the Chad Price Brewery Tour a little while back and he recorded all of Chad Price’s performances. He not only recorded all of the shows (no easy feat when you are drinking beer all day long since 9am, but he edited the songs, and put together his favorite recordings from the day (28 tracks). There are Chad Price songs, there are Drag the River songs, and there are a number of covers from Steve Earle to Journey to the Everly Brothers. When I listen to this, it reminds me of a fantastic day of beer drinking, hanging out with friends, and listening to one of my favorite singer/songwriters in the world.

You can download this in one of two places:

• Through James’ Blog, Thats The Thing About That
• Nine Bullets also posted a download

If you have a problem with either of the links, just drop us a line. We can figure some way to send it over. I do recommend visiting both sites. James has and will be posting other live recordings he has done. He has thousands of recorded shows including a ton of Suburban Home acts. Nine Bullets is hand’s down the best blog for Alt-Country/Americana/Folk.

The Photo was taken by James Freeman at Upslope Brewery and if you look, you can see Justin and Caroline in the background. You can see Chad out on upcoming dates of the Revival Tour and soon, he and his band Drag the River will be touring Europe with Chris Wollard and the Ship Thieves.

Here’s a look at the track listing and a link to all of the breweries we visited.

DRUGLORDS OF THE AVENUES “Sing Songs” LP clear vinyl (FREE w/ Purchase)

SPEND $15 IN THE VC STORE AND YOU CAN GET THIS RECORD FOR FREE! ONLY 1 COPY PER CUSTOMER, ONLY 25 COPIES BEING GIVEN AWAY. THIS OFFER WILL END ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH.

We at Vinyl Collective recognize that the economy has had a great effect on people’s ability to buy records. Because of this, we plan to occasionally offer a free record or CD when you buy something in our store. You get a free record to add to your collection, we get a few orders, and we get to clear a little bit of room out of our warehouse.

Today, we offer you the very incredible debut album by Druglords of the Avenues. For those of you who don’t know, Druglords features Johnny “Peebucks” Bonnel, the vocalist of Swingin Utters, on lead vocals and if you close your eyes and listen to this record, you would think it was the new Utters’ record. The album is fantastic from start to finish, but we haven’t had the best luck selling copies. We have no regrets as the album is so fantastic. We pressed 500 on clear and 500 on blue.

Listen to 6 songs from the record on either their Myspace page or on their Punknews band page.

If you miss out on this offer, remember that you can always buy the album through our SH/VC Warehouse Sales or on its own. The record is too damn good for you not to have this in your collection.

I might be mistaken, but this could possibly be the first time that a CD has topped our top sales of the week. It just goes to show that if you put together something worthwhile, people will pick it up. If you haven’t picked it up yet, we only have 50 copies left. I suggest you get it before they are all gone. Chuck Ragan again had a strong hold on the charts with 2 other titles in our top 10. The Raffle Tickets round #2 are going strong. Our Warehouse Clearance Sales are still going well (pick one up if you haven’t as it is one of the best deals going). Kudrow continues to do well. Micah Schnabel also continues to do well. One word about Micah’s CD, we only have 40 copies left of this first pressing. Once it is gone, we will begin production on the Suburban Home release of the album. Don’t miss out on this first pressing. As Tall as Lions and Red Collar enter the charts and Cobra Skulls and Tim Barry/Frank Turner continue to go well.

Brandon Proff submitted this month’s Beer of the Month, enjoy:

It’s been a while since we have done a Beer of the Month post, which I find humorous considering all the awesome beer-centric activities Suburban Home has been taking part in since then.

In September, Virgil and I along with a hand full of SH pals went to the Great American Beer Festival at the convention center here in Denver. Suffice it to say, this yearly event is worth every penny. There were over 2,000 beers to try out, some of which are extremely hard to find either geographically or because the brewery makes a very small amount seasonally. No one could ever get through even half of the beers available in 3 nights let alone one, so we tried our best to hit the breweries who we had either previously experienced something great of theirs or had heard of something special that we had to try.

I can’t for the life of me remember all of the beers we tried, but some of the highlights of the night for me came from breweries like Bull & Bush, Pizza Port, Jolly Pumpkin, Dogfish Head, McCoys, Deschutes, Oskar Blues, Upslope, and the list goes on and on and on. I highly recommend any of those breweries if you happen to be near them or can find their beer in your area.

In October we did a crazy 1 day / 9 stop Brewery tour in celebration of Chad Price’s recent album release. Chad was a trooper and successfully played sets at Odell, Avery, Upslope, Oskar Blues, Great Divide, Breckenridge, Road 34, and Left Hand. In spite of a few minor hiccups everyone was incredibly accommodating and we had an great time, which brings us to our beer of the month:

Odell’s Bourbon Barrel Sout

I stumbled on this 750 ml bottle one night in Boulder and quickly grabbed one as I am a nerd when it comes to all things Imperial. I know there’s a lot of hullabaloo about the validity of the Imperial title when it comes to beer styles but personally think that’s all petty for the most part until someone who knows what they’re talking about explains it all to me. I’ll embrace it for now.

Odell’s site says “This limited edition offering begins with a full-bodied imperial stout that has notes of sweet milk chocolate, smooth vanilla and roasted coffee beans… We transfer it to Kentucky bourbon barrels where it’s aged for four months to let traces of oak and caramel come forward. The bourbon barrels have a remarkable effect on the beer. In turn, the beer has a remarkable effect on the senses.”

If you have ever tried an Imperial stout, you know that they tend to be roasted, bitter, and have an alcohol burn. The spectrum of aroma and flavor variations is huge for this style of beer. Odell’s take is fantastic because they didn’t let the ABV get out of control like some of my other favorite imperials like Three Floyd’s Dark Lord or Goose Island’s Bourbon County stout. The 10.5% is incredibly well hidden by the chocolate and coffee flavors and aromas. The bourbon aging makes it silky smooth. It’s dangerously good and anyone enjoying an entire bottle by themselves should be prepared to get cozy, as you’re going to want to take a nap afterwards.

Bourbon Barrel Stout is available now wherever Odell beer is sold. GET SOME!

ANDY THOMAS “Blood & Sunshine” CD

Our very own Andy Thomas just self-released his debut album and although I might be a bit biased, I think the album is fantastic. I have had the pleasure of watching Andy start out writing and then playing shows and from the very first performance, I was really impressed with his voice and his songs. With each performance, he has gotten better and better and time came for him to record the songs he had been playing. He went in with Chris Fogal of Black in Bluhm and had a number of guest players including Justin Hackl (of VC/Only Thunder), Andy Tanner (of Laymen Terms), Chuck Coffee (of Eyes and Ears), Shea Boynton (of the Gromet), and Chris Fogal (of Taun Taun, The Gamits). The resulting album is fantastic and I hope all of you give it a listen. We just posted a stream of the album (below) and if you like what you here, buy the album and share it with others.

The CD is in stock and ready to ship.
