belated happy holidays, friends! thanks to everyone for helping out via the NNF LP HOLIDAY SALE, it was radical, many xmas/channukah/etc gifts were obtained. here's the situation: should have a new pile of new millenium musicks (Sun Araw 7", Blank Realm LP + CS, Heather Leigh LP, etc) ready for the seizing in just a couple weeks, and then later in March we should have a triad of full-lengths from Sun Araw, Pocahaunted, and Magic Lantern, so key up anticipation accordingly.
also worth noting: NOT NOT FUN will be doing another showcase at SOUTH BY SOUTH WEST this March in Austin, TX so please email presents@notnotfun.com if yr setting up house parties or hangouts and would like an NNF band on the bill!
lastly: over the last few months we have been trying to slowly assimilate certain OOP NNF releases into the digital realm so they are purchasable for iPod owners and all that. SO, if there's an old NNF album you'd love to see resurrected that way please shoot us an email, we are totally open to suggestions/requests.
hold it down/hold it up,

(live in a Gijon goth club with bondage gear on the walls)
This has been far far FAR too long in coming but: thanks to every single human who participated in assisting with our rare and radical overseas POCA/ARAW tour. we had a totally magical time and many many helpful dudes and ladies were responsible, chiefly: the endlessly organized Mr. Chris Tipton and the diehard road warriors Filipe and Chico. You are heroes, all.
Also, in no particular order: Peter/Skinny Wolves, the Ultimate Thrush bohemians, that dude from the ferry that miraculously fixed our busted tire, Richard MacFarlane and Co., Joe Blanchard, Nick and Fliss and Barry, Johnny Scarr, Max/High Wolf and Jani, everyone at OCCii, the amazing West Germany venue crew, Pascal and Datashock and the whole Oetinger Villa commune, Olivier and anyone responsible for the insane feast we had in Geneva, the entire GRRRND Zero operation, the country of Spain, and every human on the ZDB Gallery payroll. To anyone whose name we have forgotten: apologies, and we worship you equally.
Now, however, we are back, and there is business at hand. Check what has recently dropped into the mailorder lap:
SUN ARAW "HEAVY DEEDS" CD/LP
RANGERS "LOW CUT FADES" CS
MALIBU FALCON CS
POCAHAUNTED "LIVE FROM THE NEW AGE" CS
VIBES "PSYCHIC" 7" (back in stock!)
order it all here: http://www.notnotfun.com/now.html
coming up semi-soonish should be:
EXPLORERS "BERMUDA TELEPATHS" LP
ODD CLOUDS "DECEIVING ILLUSION" LP
LITTLE CLAW "HUMAN TASTE" LP
WET HAIR "GLASS FOUNTAIN" LP
ETERNAL TAPESTRY "THE INVISIBLE LANDSCAPE" LP
thanks to everyone who's been sending in demos lately, it seems the planet is recording a tsunami of music right now, which is of course radical. and write us if you think of any anecdote, musical minutae, or summer memory worth passing along: presents AT notnotfun.com
more more more.
