The Vera Project needs to raise $33,000 by the end of June to finish paying for their new space and fuel more awesome music and arts programming. Each dollar we raise up to this goal will be doubled by a generous matching grant from the Murdock Charitable trust. Every donation, no matter how large or small, will make a difference in the lives of thousands of young people and artists.

It’s a great time to donate to Vera, especially with the…

Welcome to the content section of this informational post. I’d like to take this opportunity to inform you of five new t-shirt designs we have recently made available for your upper-half – your better half. First off, we have two shirts from No Age, both featuring a shiny metallic silver ink – futuristic? Yeah, maybe. Second, we have a Sera Cahoone shirt featuring the noblest of all woodland creatures, the mighty stag. Up next, we’ve got a Foals shirt. And…

It’s been several tense weeks here at the Sub Pop International World-Headquarters due to a lack of the Gutter Twins’ Saturnalia on vinyl. But glory days are here again; the sun is shining and we just received a shipment of these LP’s for your record-playing needs!

Saturnalia LP’s come with an MP3 download code. That’s like turning your iPod into a record player!

As you may have read already elsewhere (here and here, say), we’ve announced a couple of additions to the line-up for our 20th anniversary festival out at Marymoor. Like so:

The Vaselines and Eric’s Trip have been added to Saturday. And Les Thugs have been added to Sunday.

We’re pretty excited about all three.

Gentle reminder: tickets for SP20 through TicketMaster go up to $35 per day and $60 for a 2-day pass tomorrow, Saturday May 10th. And we’re nearly out of the…

Earlier this month, the remarkably talented and genial men of Grand Archives recorded their very first television performance, playing the song Torn Blue Foam Couch on the CBS program, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. “Torn Blue Foam Couch,” of course, appears on Grand Archives’ recently released debut album, The Grand Archives And, this episode, the Grand Archives episode of the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, will be airing this Wednesday night, April 30th!

Allow me to boldly reiterate *Grand…

hey guys…

We at Sub Pop Records have always thought quite a bit of ourselves. But lately, it’s been getting a little ridiculous, even for us. However, it is our innate ability to cast aside just these sorts of, fortunately fleeting, moments of self-doubt and humility that fills us with such overwhelming pride to announce… THE SUB POP SCHOLARSHIP! Somewhat incredibly, and momentarily ignoring the fact that we have managed to misspell our own name (which consists of two three-letter words…) on…

From the very outset, we at Sub Pop Records have displayed a deep commitment to conspicuous self-promotion (and questionable taste in “music”). But, a bit more discreetly and when we have found ourselves flush enough to afford such largesse, we have also done our best to support worthy organizations in our community, and beyond. Seattle’s Vera Project (a music/ arts center run by and for youth) and The Service Board (a community service, mentoring and snowboarding program for high school-age…

May has arrived and here at HQ we are all ready for the best summer we’ve ever known, what with all the good records coming out and the hot shit SP20 Festival right around the corner. In fact, the SP20 Fest was voted Best Summer Music Fest in an informal poll I quietly held here at my desk. Want more info? Read this, bub.

The highly anticipated new No Age record Nouns comes out May 6th and will be available on…

On March 4th we’ll be releasing Saturnalia by The Gutter Twins, aka Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli, as well as Sea Lion by The Ruby Suns, aka a band from New Zealand. Both of these records are worth the price of admission so just step up to the plate and buy them, bub. We’re giving $2 off Sea Lion and Saturnalia through release date along with our patented, highly effective sticker/button combo for each band. Want to know more about…

May 20th, 2008 is officially Mudhoney Day on the wall calendar in the Sub Pop International Global World Headquarters of America office. I know you’re scratching your head thinking, “How can I, Mudhoney fanatic that I am, celebrate Mudhoney Day?” Well I’ll tell you, presumably inquisitive reader! You pick up TWO new Mudhoney records (and maybe a t-shirt and a poster if you like)! We’re actually quite pleased with ourselves for unleashing The Lucky Ones (CD/LP), a brand new Mudhoney…

Sub Pop’s International Talent-Hound Dept. is almost constantly scouring the globe for the “hottest” and “freshest” new “artists.” On April 22nd, we’re releasing a new album from one such hot discovery: New Zealand’s totally bumpable, Flight of the Conchords. Their self-titled full-length will be available on both CD and, for you connoisseurs of the finer things in fidelity, vinyl LP (with an MP3 download code for the entire album). And for the wall-art lover in all of us: both versions…

As you are one of our preferred clients, we have gone to the small trouble of assembling the following information for you: Lisa, our resident antiquarian, offers the following tidbit with regard to the colors and types of vinyl used in the manufacture of musical recordings: “it might be worth mentioning, in regard to colored vinyl, that it’s not always completely consistent, and that sometimes there are variations in coloring. Sometimes they even used leftover colored vinyl that was lying around the plant, so it’s possible that there are odd copies of odd singles on completely different colors.” Wisdom well ?

No.

Iron and Wine is back and groovin’ like you’ve never heard him groove before. On this song Innocent Bones from the new album The Shepherd’s Dog you’ll hear very prominent bongos and piano that are probably new to your ears but the sweet banjo melody and beautiful layered vocals are still the same, this tune is a gem!

Punching Goodbye out Front is the first download we’re offering off the new Kinski record, Down Below It’s Chaos (which is out August 21st). It’s also one of three tracks on the new record that features vocals courtesy of guitarist Chris Martin. We’re pretty fond of it and hope you are too.

Did you know: the MP3s we’re offering for sale on the site of the Fleet Foxes stunning new Sun Giant EP at 256k? It’s the first of our MP3 records that we’ve been able to make available at the higher bitrate.

Lap it up! All 256k bits are belong to you.

You may have noticed that Sub Pop Radio has been down for the past couple of days. You may even be concerned about it’s safety. Don’t worry, it’s not going anywhere. We’re currently between broadcasting servers—until now the radio station has been running from my the iTunes on my desktop machine, which, (while I love Sub Pop Radio) proved to be unsustainable at best. But we’ve got an art-department-retired mac that we’re setting up as a separate broadcast station and…
