Not Not Fun Bored Fortress singles Club Year 4!


Just got an email from NNF about new singles from Pocahaunted and Robedoor, probably Pocahaunted's last ever on the label....that would be exciting enough, and I was going to mention them today but just underneath was this announcement about Bored Fortress Year 4? Change of plans....I just was talking with Mike from Soundscreendesign about their 400 page 7" book, Touchable Sound...and guess what was in there...on practically a whole page? The Bored Fortress club year 2 singles...the ones silkscreened in different colors, with corresponding leaf glitter glued all over them...this is a chance to own a piece of history!!
It's like the franklin mint, only with awesome shit!
Why wasn't that in an email?


Looks like a great lineup this upcoming year...and another release from Robedoor? No Age? Ducktails? Not Not Fun has been curating the most interesting music and packaging forever....and this subscription will be no exception.
I'm rambling, but really I better get over there before it's gone.
I'm going to have to try to see what else is lying around the house I can put on ebay.
Get it.

But wait until I do.

Bored Fortress Not Not Fun from Fusetron


In case you missed the sold out latest NNF Bored Fortress singles club, here's three offerings available from good ol fusetron....
What I've gathered....
Shepherds: Meneguar alterego (?) side project, have to get that new LP, heard nothing but great things.
Ignatz: Blues/folk from the future, a million effects on fingerpicking shuffling far away sadness.
Skullflower: Heavy, guitar drums drone from one the pioneers of the genre.
Axolotl: One man noise project of drone-psyche.
Last but not least is Slither and Thurston Moore and company doing what they do best....Slither I think is more electronic-y (no myspace) and Thurston and Paul have a full length live release out together of free jazz. All good stuff, another impressive year. If there would be the thing to have to keep up with the latest in nu noise it's this 3 year and running collection.... a who's who directory of sound/experimental/noise artists for the next century. Put it in the voyager, send it out into space.

New bored fortress club - Year 3


I missed out on Year two of the bored fortress seven inch subscription club, but year one was pretty amazing....silevr daggers, robedoor, yellow swans, racoo-oo-oon, just amazing split after amazing split with informative inserts written by NNF, it was an education in noise. I somehow missed out on year 2 but tried to pick them up when I saw them listed individually at ss records.
This years is almost ready and I'll keep checking and announce it here as soon as I hear about it.
Thurston played the knitting factory last night and he made an acoustic guitar sound huge and would hold it against the amp and behind his head feedbacking everywhere. He's nearly 50 and I think even in high school I knew that they had been around forever and weren't something you should mess with unless you are prepared to take seriously. Hopefully he will have 50 more.

This email was sent Saturday from Not Not Fun:
5) BORED FORTRESS YEAR THREE IS CLOSE we should be putting our annual split 7" club up for sale in the next 72 hours or so. we're thrilled as heck about the artists and bands on board this year, so keep an eye out for it if yr into this sort of thing.
