Harvey Milk "My Love" & "Courtesy" Vinyl Release! (from chunklet.com)



Chunklet.com is proud to announce the release of two herculean Harvey Milk albums on double vinyl.

First up is Harvey Milk's "My Love Is Higher Than Your Assessment of What My Love Could Be". Yes, this is the first time it has been issued on vinyl. Early purchases are rewarded with a special color that is available only for the first hours of its release.

This is ground zero for one of the nineties' last true cult bands; now legendary for churning ghostly wailings, unearthly bellows, and gentle whispers together into one soaring, crawling, ugly and beautiful blend of brilliance. My Love... is essential listening for all fans of hard and heavy post-rock, and stands as the official starting point for your Harvey Milk education.

And next up is Harvey Milk's "Courtesy & Good Will Toward Men".

Recut and remastered by Masterphonics. Repressed on two 180g dark grey 12" records. Exquisite jackets and insert letterpressed, die cut and embossed at Interrobang in Massachusetts. The epic "Courtesy & Goodwill" double album is being reissued in a third edition of 500. There's only about 300 available for sale.

"Brutally heavy, painfully slow, and heartbreakingly beautiful! Amazing double LP of slow motion dirge and obfuscated experiments in rhythmic tension swaddled in old school Melvins style pummel, interspersed with the occasional whisper of a song, delicate and lilting. Even at its intended speed, it almost sounds like you've accidentally set a 78 on the turntable and set the controls for 16rpm. Epic and absolutely essential." -- Aquarius Records

Get ready to have an awesome fall with these incredible albums in your collection.

Pardner and The Howlies celebrate a local Legend at 40



Friday Night, Oct. 10th at the EARL
Come out and help Pardner and The Howlies celebrate 40 years of a world where Curt Wells helps you out whenever he can.
This guy, if you don't know him, is the current sound engineer at the EARL. He's been the house Sound Guru at the Star Bar, and the touring sound guy for all kinds of bands including Man or Astro Man, Mooney Suzuki and tons of others. He rocked us all through the 90's with his gloriously under-achieving band "Grumpy", playing bass and cracking jokes without ever having a bad attitude.

He's fixed your/our amps, guitars, loaned you cables, jumped your car, bought you beer, run sound for your party, invented your bong, driven you home, made you lasagna, contributed to your magazine, compilation of bands, played your party, MC'd your event, recorded your demo and never once ignored your phone call.

Curt has basically lived the kind of life your parents always wanted for you. Curt is literally the walking, talking application of the golden rule.
So Friday night, we're gonna do unto him they way he does unto us.
You should be there. He'd be there for you.

We Truly Love You Curt!

First: Pardner
Then: The Howlies

Here's a track from Grumpy's out of print CD, 'The Surly Years' Check it out:
