Thinker Thought Records UPDATES (Empty Orchestra LP & Amp Magazine, Scouts Honor farewell tour)
www.thinkerthought.com - www.thinkerthoughtwrong.com

It has been a long, cold winter and my landlord doesn't keep the radiators in my apartment going enough. So, to keep warm, I've had to keep moving in the TTR camp. Here's the news:

On March 24th, we will be releasing our first vinyl LP! The album comes from our pals in Empty Orchestra and is the vinyl version of their amazing album Here Lies Empty Orchestra, which we released back in 2007. The pressing comes on 140 gram brown vinyl with pink splatter and is limited to 520 copies. The artwork is screen-printed as well! These are beautiful artifacts indeed. The records will be for sale on Interpunk.com and hopefully Vinyl Collective. Oh, and don't miss the band in the current issue of Amp Magazine.

Speaking of vinyl, remember that Tina Sparkle 7" that was supposed to come out at Halloween 2008? Well, it's finally here, but the wait has been worth it. Ladybugs And Firecrackers features the best songs that we've ever heard from Tina Sparkle pressed on 150 orange and 150 purple 7" records. The art is screen-printed as well and is a sight to behold! These records will also be for sale on Interpunk.com and hopefully Vinyl Collective. Catch Tina Sparkle on tour now (dates are listed below).

Now, on a sad note, the coming weeks will be the final tour for Scouts Honor (my band). All I can say is that we're going to make this last tour as big a party as possible and we will be recording a final album during the tour, to be released at a later date (and the record is shaping up to be a great one!). Thanks to everyone who has supported the band over the years and shared your lives with us. Let's make this tour a party to remember!

Low Red Land will be out on tour later this month as well, so if you're out west, make sure to catch these guys and pick up their amazing album Dog's Hymns or buy it from us through that lovely iTunes store.

D.S. Yancey will also be hitting the road in late April and May, so check out those dates and get them marked on your calenders. His fantastic album Lonely Riders is available from us through iTunes as well.
