You won’t be able to get them in record stores yet, but Tender Forever’s “Wider” (LP or CD) and WOELV’s “Tout Seul dans la Foret en Plein Jour, Avez-Vous Peur?” (LP + Book or CD) are both available for purchase via the K Mail Order Dept.
I just ordered Tender Forever’s “Wider”, but I had the opportunity to purchase WOELV’s new LP + Book a month or so ago when she performed in Chicago. I highly recommend the LP format specifically, as it comes with a large book (a phenominal package) that really gives the listener extra context (especially if you don’t speak French) through multiple translations and art by Genevieve.

We recently started a Vimeo channel which will contain all things K on Vimeo. Please subscribe if you are a Vimeo member. Although YouTube will remain our primary venue for videos (particuarly full-length shows), our Vimeo channel will always debut our Dub Narcotic Video Singles series before they air on YouTube, as the videos on Vimeo are of higher quality.
The Dub Narcotic Video Singles series are exerpts and highlights of previously uploaded full-length shows from our YouTube channel. Below is a list of the first batch of video singles.
1) The Blow - “The Long List of Girls”
2) Saturday Looks Good To Me - “Money In the Afterlife”
3) Old Time Relijun - “Cold Water”
4) Karl Blau - “Mockingbird Diet”
The videos in the singles series will appear on YouTube a week or so after we upload them to Vimeo.

Hornet Leg is Chris Sutton’s (Dub Narcotic Sound System, C.O.C.O., Spider and the Webs) latest project which includes Claudia Meza (Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!, Japanther) and sometimes Joel Brazzel (K production manager extraordinaire).
I recently caught up with Chris and he has informed me that a new Hornet Leg 7″ will be out soon called “The Blood Trilogy”. We will be sure to write about the new 45 as soon as it is released.
In other Hornet Leg news, Local Cut posted a CMJ report which features Hornet Leg photos and video from their CMJ set, check it out.

Chad Keever, who recently supplied us with Halo Benders photos and video, was kind enough to send a follow-up. Chad attended “Push It To The Limit 2007″ in Kennewick Washington and was gracious enough to send us the photos and video.
Thanks again, Chad. I would also like to thank the flood of new contributors who recently joined our community photo gallery. It has grown to feature over 300 photos in less than four days, keep those contributions coming!
