A quick note about the PG store. Prices are no longer postpaid. Shipping will be calculated at the end of the paypal cart process. So, the visible prices have been reduced accordingly. Unfortunately, as of July 27th, Media Mail shipping is no longer available for items that are not "educational" in nature. So, shipping an LP within the US now costs $7.50 instead of $2.77. On the bright side, it gets to you faster (Priority Mail). Also, we have also reduced the prices on all Public Guilt CD's considerably and added three new releases to the Distributed Titles page. We now have copies of Korperschwache's "Black Dust" disc, Aun's very rare "Utica" 7 inch, and "Pro Hour," the debut LP from Baltimore no-jazz enthusiasts, Microkingdom.

Thanks to all who came out to the anniversary shows a few weeks ago and to all who have downloaded the anniversary comp. It is still available for free download here. A review of the comp popped up here.

A handful of Aun / Habsyll LP reviews have been popping up. Check out a few here, here, here, and here. We still have copies of the gray vinyl edition available for sale in the store. Also, we have Aluk Todolo Finsternis LP's and shirts available!

Darsombra will be touring Europe with Wino (St. Vitus, Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, Hidden Hand, Shrinebuilder) and Conny Ochs in September and October. The tour dates have been posted on the shows page.

The final Destructo Swarmbots set was incredible. In true DS fashion, the crowd had thinned out. Nine folks (including members from Action Beat, Ghostigital, Dälek, Ala Muerte, Ifwhen, Cleenteeth, M4ST3RB455, and Oddateee) took the stage for a set that lasted just under 16 minutes. A guitar was destroyed about 9 minutes in and the PA was pushed to it's limits for the full set. It was one of the most incredible things we have ever experienced. Below are a few small pics. More pics and a video will be popping up in the coming weeks.
