DAMMIT... we don't use this thing anywhere NEAR enough, do we?
'stuff' gets in the way of getting other stuff done. not enough hours in the day / days in the week / biscuits in the barrel.

still... could be worse.. .we could use it *too* much. we could bore you numb with every single bit of crap from our dull lives. then you'd hate us as much as we hate ourselves (check us out, 'emo'), and we can't have that now... can we?

ANYWAY... a few bits of news...

1) 'Normal Happiness' is the new album by Robert Pollard. It'll be out here in the UK / Europe on October 9th. Believe us (or not, the choice is yours. your loss, ultimately, if you dont' tho) its really really great. Really.

(y'know... we'd LOVE to be able to do the sort of spiel you get from other labels. we'd love to be able to make you believe that you won't be the hippest of the hip on yr block, or that these records are some likefuckingchanging icon of cool must-ownership... but your smarter than that, right? don't get me wrong... we love these records... they're great records. we want you to love them too, but we're not going to insult your intelligence. that's for other, lesser, record labels. If you want bullshit, go elsewhere... if you want some neato sounds to make your ears happy, then here we are).
Like i said, a great record. Buy it... if you wanna.

2) the very lovely and very excellent :( are hitting the road in October.
they'll be doing the rounds of the UK in support of the equally lovely and very excellent Enter Shikari. dates are up on the
:( page www.myspace.com/colonopenbracket or on Enter Shikari's page at www.myspace.com/entershikari
tickets are on sale NOW (and selling rather quickly) from all those places you get tickets from.

2.1) to coincide with that tour, we'll be releasing the debut 'proper' :( record!!!
it will be a 5-track EP / mini-album entitled 'First Blood' and its really really good. honest. it'll be in stores 30th Oct. more news on that soon.

3) ALSO on 30th Oct, we'll be releasing a 7" single by our friends LR Rockets! They hail from London, and they're ace.
go say hello to them at www.myspace.com/lrrockets 
they've got a whole load of shows upcoming, so go say hello in person too!!

4) the shop!
ahhh... the Must Destroy shop.
a couple of folks have emailed us to tell us that the shop link on the site ain't working.
this is true, oh yes.
BUT... there'll be a NEW shop, in the very very near future.
AND... to celebrate its re-opening (and also to take the load off when we move our 'office'), we'll be having a big-ass sale!! yes indeed... prices slashed / axed / severed. bargains galore!!!
if, in the the meantime, there's something you simply MUST MUST own, and NOW... then drop us a line at shop@mustdestroymusic.com and let us know... maybe you can haggle and we'll work something out? :)

OK... more soon.
one day, we WILL use this blog for something other than trying to sell you stuff. really.

take care out there... and, please, do keep in touch!!!
