New release Tuesday - 7/10/07

Tomorrow's a pretty healthy new release day, and to celebrate Spoon's new record (which is quite good, in case you were wondering), our friends at Merge, ADA and Jake's Ice Cream have banded together so that we can provide some of the latter's cold, delicious goodies and gift certificates to anyone who buys a disc after 6pm Tuesday night. And thanks to the generosity of a customer named Tom, we'll also have some beer in the house. AND for those who buy the new Spoon album specifically, we'll be handing out a rare seven inch vinyl single while supplies last. Stop by to get your fix.

Oh, and there are also all sorts of other great releases coming. Check out this rather impressive list:

Spoon
Smashing Pumpkins
Interpol
Crowded House
They Might Be Giants
M. Ward (reissue)
Rocky Erickson (soundtrack)
Justice
Patton Oswalt
Flaming Lips (DVD)
Nick Drake (rarities and family tracks)
Kinky Friedman (live)
Gogol Bordello
The Gourds
Jason Isbell (former Drive-By Trucker)
Buck Owens (live)
Fionn Regan
Chris and Rich Robinson
Mark Ronson
Ulrich Schnauss
Roddy Woomble
...and more!

Let us know what you're looking for. But if you're looking for beer, ice cream and rare vinyl all free with purchase, well, we'll see you tomorrow evening.

Decatur CD <3's added value

Thanks to our myriad industry pals (Chris @ Universal, the Lost Highway peeps, Russell @ ADA, and Michael @ Alliance), we have all sorts of added value goodies to give away with new and upcoming releases. Check this out:

* If you haven't picked up your very own shiny personal copy of The Shins latest, Wincing the Night Away, well, just what are you waiting for? You could join all the excitable fanboys and fangirls that made it the first Sub Pop record to go all the way to #2 on the Billboard top 200 chart. However, your laziness will be rewarded just this once, as you have your choice of a two-sided poster or collectable 7". Hurry, though, as these items are obviously limited. Did we mention the album is actually pretty great? Because it is.

* Bloc Party recently dropped the much-awaited follow-up to it much-hyped (and much-good, wethinks) debut. Stop by to get A Weekend in the City, and we'll give you a choice of a button or another awesomely limited 7".

* Finally, we've got some exclusive Lucinda Williams demos CDs for giveaway with her upcoming album, West. We're giving these away to everyone who pre-orders the new record (which comes out this Tuesday, February 13th), and quite honestly, a TON of people have, but you still have a chance to get in on the fun. Come in this weekend or give us a call or an email or a MySpace message. Hell, you could leave a comment below to sign up, if you wish. Don't delay, though, as these bonus discs will go fast.

Oh, and if you need a visual aid for any of these added value tasties, just see above. Truly delicious, right? We'll see you soon...
