Happy Thursday. Hope all is well.

We are happy to say that all the KEPI GHOULIE and RIPTIDES pre-orders
have been shipped out. Remember that we ship this media mail, so it
takes a bit longer than 1st class. Give it a good 2 weeks and
hopefully it will be in your hands safe and sound.

The new NOISE BY NUMBERS "Yeah, Whatever" is now available for
mailorder. The band features DAN VAPID from Methadones/Riverdales/SW
on Guitar/vocals and also Neil Hennessey from the LAWRENCE ARMS on
drums. It kind of remind me of early Alkaline Trio with Dan Andriano singing.
hmmmm... Maybe I'm crazy.

HOODIES.. Ok, we just got a bunch of new zip up hoodies. Andrew Jackson Jihad, the
Queers, and finally an Asian Man Records zip up. In the next month, we
should be getting a new BROADWAYS design hoodie and also a LEMURIA zip
up. Such great news eh?

We just got a re-press of the BROADWAYS "Broken Van" on CD. This time
it's a digi pak and ultimately all our releases will be digi-pak
format. I hate jewel cases, they always break and look horrible. What
do you think?

Also, we got copies of DAN POTTHAST'S "EAT THE PLANET" CD. He self
released this last year and has 11 amazing tracks. Dan is on a plane
this very moment headed to MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. He'll be touring over
there for the next few weeks.
Isn't that wonderful?

And though they are not on Asian Man, I wanted to plug a great band
called the HARD GIRLS. They just put out a free EP on QUOTE UNQUOTE
which you can download here:

the band SHINOBU made a music video for their song beach party:

I asked him last night what experience he has making videos and he said
NONE. He just bought a camera and started fiddling around with
IMOVIE. Pretty awesome.

And speaking of Bob, he just started a new band called the GNARBOOTS.

Last week, I did a trade with SNUFFY SMILE RECORDS. For those who
don't know, SNUFFY SMILE is a super duper DIY punk label from KYOTO, JAPAN.

here's a list of 7 INCHES, that I just got. They are $4 each through
us. If you're interested, just email me what you want and I will put
it aside for you. We only have ones and twos on stuff, so write me if

THE CHINKEES ARE COMING-$12
Get all 3 Chinkees albums on CD: THE CHINKEES ARE COMING, PEACE THROUGH MUSIC, SEARCHING FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE.
This would cost nearly $40 in stores and now you can have them delivered to your doorstep. In fact, I'm feeling so good about it, I'm
going to throw in the BRUCE LEE BAND S/T CD. That's 4 cd's for $12. DAMN!!!

Enjoy the rest of your day friends.
Peace, mike park
