Hey, here’s something exciting: we just signed No Age! No Age is Dean Spunt and Randy Randall, formerly of the band Wives and still, currently of the city Los Angeles. They just recently released the really fucking excellent singles compilation Weirdo Rippers on the Fat Cat label (if you don’t own this already, consider remedying that situation) and we are genuinely thrilled to be working with these guys. Here’s the description of the band we just lifted from their own…

Last Saturday, No Age played what looks to have been a pretty amazing, albeit brief, show at the Los Angeles River Beautification Meeting.
Check it out!
The picture here is by Joshua Pressman and was taken from the LAist report on the event.

Today, and this is no April Fools joke, is Sub Pop Records’ 20th Anniversary. When I asked Jon Poneman, aka The Jonald, how it feels to turn 20 he responded, “The company maintains bowel movements at regular intervals so we’re not nearly as grouchy as some other labels our age.” I couldn’t put it better myself, but this is coming from a man who has never once used the bathroom in the office.
April is packed full of highly anticipated…

On May 6th, we at Sub Pop will be doing the world a real solid by releasing the first proper No Age full-length! It’s called Nouns and will be available in CD, MP3 and mind-blowing, fidelity-maximizing LP format (complete with a coupon to download the entire album as MP3s). And, in our ongoing quest to turn your money into our money, through the charming, old-timey concept of “selling music,” we are really piling on the incentives. If you pre-order Nouns…

First off, we have two shirts from No Age, both featuring a shiny metallic silver ink – futuristic? Yeah, maybe.

All of the bands/artists/comedians participating in our various 20th anniversary revelries have agreed to play for free in the hopes of raising a bunch of money to give to a bunch of worthwhile organizations. Basically, we’re pooling the money we make, dividing it amongst everyone playing and each band/artist/comedian picks a recipient.
Herewith the list of organizations to which these folks have elected to donate their share of the proceeds. And, sometimes, where possible, we’ve included a bit of info about…

In a bizarre turn of events, MTV will diverge from their winning programming formula combining chronicles of booger-eating, testicle-smashing and the lifestyles of wealthy, indolent children, by reintroducing daytime music video programming this summer, as well as premiering brand new videos every Friday evening as part of the soon-to-be-launched show “F’N MTV.” L.A.-based art punk band No Age has been chosen as one of the network’s “most talked about” artists, and will debut the video for its new single, “Eraser,”…

Late last week our friends in No Age taped a performance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, to air later this month, on October 27th. Between the band’s rehearsal and when this taping was to take place, No Age’s guitarist Randy Randall was asked to wear something other than the Obama t-shirt he had on (-which you can see and admire in the associated photo here—he looks good, right??-). The folks working at the show explained that due…

Well, well, it’s November already and I’m sure I probably don’t need to mention it, but if you don’t vote on November 4th then you are a total asshole. Moving on…
In a somewhat unprecedented but sure to be financially viable move, Sub Pop will only release vinyl singles for the remainder of 2008 or until gay marriage is legal in Washington state, whichever comes first. In celebration of Obama’s win tomorrow we are letting loose onto the earth three singles…

Last week, the nominations for the 2009 Grammy Awards were announced and we were pleasantly confused to discover that once again TWO (2) artists recording for the Sub Pop label earned nominations!
We are, of course, talking about No Age and Flight of the Conchords.
In category 80 (aka Best Comedy Album), the self-titled debut long-player by Flight of the Conchords is up against albums by Lewis Black, Kathy Griffin, Harry Shearer, and… George Carlin.
And, in category 88, (the award for…

Ever wanted to know what No Age has in common with 2 Live Crew? (Not much!) Curious about what food both Lenny Kravitz and No Age enthusiastically endorse? (Parisian Falafel!) Still can’t figure out if No Age actually did perform a Nirvana cover at SP20? (They didn’t!) Dean’s the drummer, right? (Yes!)

I was thinking about writing the addresses and all that jazz, but I thought that since these were free shows it’d be okay for you to do a small amount of work and figure out the location on your own. Plus, teach a man a fish and all that, you know? Anyway, enough with my constant ramblings…. HERE IS THE INFO…

In collaboration with master artist, veteran skateboarding legend and Emerica Pro Ed Templeton, Randy Randall and Dean Spunt, the industrious art-punkers behind No Age have designed a shoe for Emerica! Take a look! And, theses are not just another pretty pair of shoes. Since Ed, Randall and Spunt are all vegan, the shoe is made up of entirely organic and synthetic materials, but designed to weather the abuse of skateboarding.
And, no big surprise, they are a whole lot better-looking than…

BJM:
Obits, what do you think about the fact that Sub Pop is 49% owned by Warner?

Wow. Is this part of a Seger-Saget-Sub Pop conspiracy?
It’s a complicated question. Short answer is we signed…
