Happy New Year everybody! Howlin Rain had a killer winter tour in Europe in December despite the blizzards and freezing weather most of the tour. Thanks to all of you who came out to the gigs, it was great to see you. In the end the vinyl manufacturer didn't finish the Good Life EP vinyl in time for tour so it should be available to ship this month some time. The first pressing is limited to 1000 copies with silk screened covers by Alan Forbes and David D'Andrea. These will sell out very quickly so pre-order a copy here to ensure your copy of this special first pressing. The EP is also available now in digital form, purchase here.
To bring in the new year I am posting another heavy jams comp from the Galactic Zoo Dossier cassette club. I didn't realize when I posted the "Explosive Rock" comp by Steve Krakow that it was actually a part of his tape club series of which I have since become a member. Getting these tape comps in the mail every couple months is nothing short of Christmas 6 times a year! The membership is dirt cheap and analog cassette is without a doubt the best sonic format for killer riffs and dirty lost heavy jams. Write to Steve to join the tape club: plasticcw@hotmail.com. Though Steve's cassette comps run the gamut from "Fuzzed Funk", "Baroque Into Folk", "Avant Pop", "Groove Freex", etc , etc I am posting another heavy riffs super fuzz savage jams edition. There are some old fuzzy favorites here as well as some super rare shit but the comp as a whole is a great day after new year-party ain't over-beer drinking-hell raising soundtrack! So enjoy! Come next week it's back to work on the new Howlin Rain album and we won't be stopping until it's finished. For now, a few more beers and rumbling home stereo speakers! Thanks again Steve!

Gotta say I really enjoyed your "country" mixtape on the When You Awake blog. I really like the mixtapes/cassettes you post here, but that "country" compilation was really, really great. Would love to see another one of those!
