It’s strange how where you come from can be everything you want to be, and yet, everything you want to get away from.

&lt;p&gt;Have you ever been in your favorite comic store and thought, &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;&amp;hellip;this would reach another level of awesome if I could only buy the new Erik Hartley album, too&amp;hellip;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;rdquo;? Well, if you&amp;rsquo;re in the Boston or Providence area, your request for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;awesomesauce&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has been granted!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;figure class="tmblr-full" data-orig-height="116" data-orig-width="500"&gt;&lt;img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/102145d17ee9360db7e4c090f5d1c9b5/86d5bd2d4ac6d8dc-bf/s540x810/e97500e76033ac0226e800bcb55ce307482eb7a4.png" data-orig-height="116" data-orig-width="500"/&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks to Newbury Comics, you can now purchase my album, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Roll Out of Bed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at these wonderful locations:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Newbury Street, Boston, MA&lt;br/&gt;Faneuil Hall, Boston, MA&lt;br/&gt;Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA&lt;br/&gt;Natick, MA&lt;br/&gt;Providence, RI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the best part? I have&lt;strong&gt; reduced the price of the album to $5.99! &lt;/strong&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s the lowest available price of any other retailer!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>https://erikhartley.tumblr.com/post/15722894232</link><guid>https://erikhartley.tumblr.com/post/15722894232</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jan 2012 09:45:00 -0500</pubDate><category>erikhartleynews</category></item><item><title>iTunes &amp; Amazon Erik Hartley Stores Launched</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Do you prefer to buy your music at iTunes, or your albums and MP3s at Amazon?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Originally this was set up with RSS feeds, but it just made for an ugly layout, and laborious changes. SO, the &lt;a href="http://www.erikhartley.com/photos.html" target="_blank"&gt;photos have been updated&lt;/a&gt; to include wonderful new thumbs, and a JavaScript preview, and the &lt;a href="http://www.erikhartley.com/photos.html" target="_blank"&gt;videos are now larger thumbs&lt;/a&gt; that play directly from the page! How freakin cool is that?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re also in development for a fan photos section! Do you have photos from a show? A sighting? Or of you and your friends wearing Erik Hartley Merch? Send them to theband(at)erikhartley(dot)com, and we&amp;rsquo;ll put them up!&lt;/p&gt;
