Yes! ALK3 left Asian Man because the fans of the band couldn't get ALK3 cds anywhere. So instead of not having their music spread, they jumped over to Vagrant so they knew stores would carry their records, but still remain indie.

I am glad people know of Asian Man Records.

i've seen goddamnit at two best buys in the two weeks
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

That just seems wrong. Since when did Goddamnit graduate from local indie stores to Best Buy? What is going on here?

Nice avatar Jeff. I guess that cd cover is better than FHTI

priest costumes would have been nice. or an awesome live shot of the band.

but whatever. the cd is still going to own all.

I've heard "All On Black" on the radio here more than their actual single.

Ahhh what the hell? Detroit won't play We've Had Enough, which sucks. I had to fight for days with the DJ to play the damn song, and it got played once.

Now they're playing a song about anti-Christian feelings on the radio in New York? I guess a lot has happened in the past couple months. Damn.

I think more people would be concerned with the "What's upside down is coated in silver, this crucifix is my four leaf clover" line than the radio line. That is just how it goes. That is why a church got their cd banned in all stores in a specific city. Fun, isn't it?

Yeah, I called in about 20 times asking them to play that song, and they did, so I was happy. I don't know what song I should push for next. I mean, Emma would be great for the radio, but they don't like releasing songs not sung by Matt.

I love Emma, maybe because my name is relatively similar, but I also like Every Thug Needs a Lady, Blue Carolina, and Fatally Yours, although Fatally Yours is pretty short.
