You make me Malfunction!

Hey there! I have forgotten to mention, but I did receive Hipshakes 7"s a few weeks ago and they are currently shipping! It's only $5 including shipping! This is a mind-blower of a record! "You make me Malfunction" is incredible! "Buy it here!

There's plenty more in the distro...Fevers, Trashies, Purple Wizard, Megacools and tons more!

Maybe I'll offer free gift wrap next month if anyone is interested...

tis the season!

Coming soon, some Mattress 7"s...and we'll see what else I can grab before the end of the year.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

So lucky

I wanted to take the time to thank everyone who went to our awesome benefit show last Saturday. It was amazing to see everyone, the bands were fantastic and we really have great friends!! I feel very lucky to know the folks I know. My friends have been the most supportive through this whole thing, way more than my family (excluding my Mom, Taran and Scott!!) That is kinda sad, but whatevs. I also want to thank everyone who's donated money, kitchen stuff, clothes, and everything else.

I'm trying to post more on my blog, to keep it updated and fun to read besides the depressing news of the fire. It was devastating, and we still have our rough days, but we are all recovering.

I'm taking a quick lunch at work, eating some delicious TJ's mac n cheese. Work has been NUTS today, and I'm the only one in the office until later this afternoon. It's going to be a long day, but things are looking good.

Why not come down to the store if you're free today? We have some great records, great gifty-stuff and tons more. We'll be open today, tomorrow and re-open Friday. We'll have some 15% off coupons ready by tomorrow, but I'd give it to you today if you stop in.

We open at noon, and I'm here all day!

Our Benefit Show!

Hey! If you're in the area, please come out to our benefit show. We are struggling financially and could use the help.

Check out this rad flyer my friends made!! For the record, I got out with only 1 pair of pants (the one I was wearing that day.)

Thanks for all the offers for clothes and stuff. I'm on a minimalist point of view these days and am not really hurting for clothes (novelty socks excluded!!), but looking for things like kitchen stuff (mixing bowls, cooking utensils, baking stuff, etc.) Also, cheap shelving like milk crates, thick cardboard boxes, etc.

See you tomorrow!!

Damn Pay Pal!

Well, for some reason my donation button charges shipping on donations which is wack. Those of you who donated have been reimbursed the shipping charge. My apologies.

Thanks so much for donating!! If you would like to, please follow the updated donation button on my website on this page.

You guys are awesome.

BTW see you tonight at INTELLIGENCE / PINK REASON / LITTLE CLAW / PSYCHEDELIC HORSESHIT @ Delta of Venus, 9pm. All Ages.

Benefit Party & Donations

I hate asking for money, but if you have a few (or many) bucks to spare, please come out the benefit show for my roommates Andrew, Chris and I next Saturday, Nov 17th. We lost our home in a fire and are trying to replace what we lost. Playing will be thee Ohsees, Standard Tribesmen and one more TBA. Maybe the Pizzas! This is at a house in Davis, so be respectful. For more info please go here.

I've had requests to put up a paypal donation button, which is below. Again, I hate asking for money, but if you are so inclined, feel free to throw a few bucks our way to cover food and help replace all the crap we lost including furniture, guitars, books, shelves, clothes, pots and pans and way too much other stuff.

Thanks again for all the support from everyone!

To donate money to us, click below.

Neighbor Update

While at last night, we ran into our upstairs neighbors from our old place. It turns out their CAT SURVIVED. She turned up at a friend's house down the street later that night of the fire.

The fire fighters had found some sort of dead animal upstairs, which was assumed to be their cat. It must have been a squirrel or (big) rat.

I am so glad to hear that their cat is OK. She is super nice.

ALSO, there is a benefit show in the works for us put together by the awesome DJ Rick. It will feature favs Thee OH SEES, along with Standard Tribesmen and one more band TBA. This will happen Nov 17th (a Saturday) at a house in Davis. More details soon. My break at work is over!

Thanks for the kind words, food, towels, etc, and please, ORDER SOME STUFF FROM MY MAIL ORDER! We need the cash. Thanks!

A Mailorder Update

Hello folks,

Here is an update about the mailorder situation. It looks like all the 7"s are fine, as are the Trashies LPs.

And, christ. I just realized for some reason, my website isn't working. It's probably something to do with my billing address changing or something. I don't know. This whole thing is a nightmare. Please, everyone, make sure you have renters insurance if you rent! It will hopefully help you if you're ever victim of a fire or burglary. We don't and hopefully the negligent guy is going to have to pay us to replace what we can.

Anyways, I'll get a list up soon of what I have available, including some stuff that was off the site including out of print Angry Angles. I really need to sell stuff and make some money to get us through this!

take care,

-hk

Down in Flames

We lost our duplex on Tuesday in this fire in Midtown Sacramento (our place is on the left). Lucky, no one was hurt but our upstairs neighbors lost their sweet kitty cat. The damage was extensive- we lost a ton of stuff, including clothes, our beds, guitars, some music, books, at least one computer, 2 stereos, furniture, food, and way too much other stuff. But we are extremely lucky that we got out with what we did and we are unharmed. I am letting you know that please hold off on buying anything from the Out of Order mailorder so I can inspect the damage- I think all the records are safe, but I did lose the Genetic Disorder Zines, Out of Order Zines and Comix. This is devastating. Make sure you don't have any fucking idiot, coked out, pyro neighbors. Here's the cause of the fire.

We are currently staying at a friends' house. If you see any cool places in Midtown Sacto (2 bedroom min preferred), please let us know as we are trying to get into a new home ASAP and be the least trouble to our most amazing hosts.

Thanks for all the kind words we've gotten. It's been hell getting through this, but I know we will.

thanks,

Record Stores and Fan-tastic New Records!!

On my trip to Oregon in August, we visited 2 record stores with the limited time we had. On the first day, we hit up House of Records in Eugene, Oregon. Eugene is a small college town, like Davis with way too much pride for their university's sports teams, but whatever. Anyways, after the nine or so hour drive to Eugene, we dropped stuff off at the hotel room, and make our rounds. After downing some okay pizza at a college pizzaria, we innocently passed House of Records, a small, converted house with, as the title says, records, tapes and CDs. Barely glancing an eye at those shiny discs, we zip to the vinyl selection, where some dude is blocking the punk/indie S-compilations section, listening to a huge stack of records with his portable turntable. Meganerd! Their vinyl section had a strange set up- a smaller shelf on the right had new releases, starting with indie/punk and merging into surf, rock and roll and then another set of genres. On the right was a tall self, alphabetically, but mixed with a bunch of different genres, new and used records of popular, and independent artists across the spectrum. This set-up basically formed a very narrow vinyl aisle, where Andrew and I were among close quarters with portable turntable guy, some dudes talking about a "limited" Radiohead LP that I wanted to punch, an aggressive vinyl seeker, and some shy guy who would occasionally venture in, and then duck out.

My stash from here includes the Holly Golightly Singles Collection on double LP, (an import from Damaged Goods!!), a used Country Teasers Satan is Real Again... LP and a Flock of Seagulls collection (gotta have "Modern Love is Automatic", "Telecommunication" and "It's not me talking".)

The next day, after the short drive to Portland, my #1 place of visit is Green Noise, now run by Ken of Dirtnap Records fame. It's a punk/indie specific store with a good selection of new vinyl, some used stuff, and CDs. My list was pretty long here, as I slapped down nearly $100 as I can't control myself in such a good store. Among favorites are the new Eat collection on Alternative Tentacles, Eater, Realtors collection on Rave Up, and holy crap so many more, I can't even remember them all. They also have a cool section of books, zines and comix! I haven't even had time to listen to all my records from here yet.

Which leads me to current music favs:

In no order...

1) Holly Golightly - Singles Collection (Damaged Goods)
2) The Eat - It's not the Eat, its the Humidity (AT)
3) Digital Leather - Blow Machine (FDH)
4) Barracudas - Through the Mysts of Time (Bomp)

Nerdy geek-out fun!

***EDIT***

Thanks to Andrew and Keith for pointing out my FDH spelling error. Thanks dudes!

Dance Party Next Weekend!

I'm back I'm back I'm back!!!

Sorry it's been a while, but after my mini-vacation to Oregon, I moved, broke my laptop, had no internet, been working like crazy and started school. Holy mole! Anyways, more comics will resume this week (maybe by Labor Day), while I continue to gather my life out of boxes and into my new place in Sacramento. Please continue to mail stuff to me to my Davis P.O. box, as I will still be getting my mail there.

PO BOX 72775
Davis, CA 95617

Fan mail, comix, records to review for my website www.outoforderrecords.com, and other lovely things.

======
A few notes:

A cup of coffee found it's way in my laptop, making it tough for me to update my website, so if you're looking to order some records (please do), I have a few changes:
-The Fevers 7" is NOT SOLD OUT. I found a few copies while moving (duh).
-The Purple Wizard - Power of Love 7" IS SOLD OUT.

Please e-mail your order in, bypassing the paypal buttons if you plan on ordering the Fevers 7" and you're out of luck on that fantastic chunk of wax from Purple Wizard.

I will be trying to update my site soon on my dinosaur PC, so please bear with me while changes happen.

All orders waiting to go out will be shipped Tuesday. Sorry for the delay, but I've finally had time to unpack!

More exciting stuff hopefully happening soon,

All the best,

Music Request

Hi friends,

As you know, I have my own zine, blog, I volunteer & DJ at KDVS Radio, AND I've started writing for Midtown Monthly, a free magazine in Sacramento, California. There's now another outlet for me to promote your music, and geek out. If you're looking to get your music on the radio/reviewed in local press and online, please send me promos and copies of your records! I'm a music fanatic, as I'm sure you know and I'm looking for more music to review.

I recommend sending 2 copies- one for KDVS radio to add to the library and one for me to review and write about. If you can't afford that, no big deal.

You can send them to:

Heather Klinger
P.O. Box 72775
Davis, CA 95617

VINYL PREFERRED!!

No MP3's, I electronically-vomit on those.

If you have Q's, you can e-mail me: heather(at)outoforderrecords.com

Finally! Some Record Reviews!

Taking a break from writing a research paper, and finally, here's some record reviews I've been promising. I've got more coming, hopefully this weekend. It's boiling here in California, I hope YOU are well, where-ever you are.

ALSO- there are some great shows happening, including, July 29th: the Lamps, Haunted George, Cheap Time and the Pizzas at Delta of Venus, in Davis. That whole weekend is insane- featuring some amazing back to back shows with Night Wounds, Sexy Prison, A-Frames, Abe Vigoda, and holy shit, so much more!! Visit undietacos.org for more information.

If you're interested, I also draw comix, and will be printing my first batch of comic/x in the next few weeks. They can be found here.

On to the reviews!!

Black Time / Husbands
Split 7”
Show and Tell Records

Miscreants from the UK- Black Time bash out arty punk rock, delivering heavy bass-lines, pounding drums and catchy guitar riffs that stun like a musical ray gun. “Downtown” is a grade-A winner, while “Charm Offensive” is just gripping as their “Son of Sam” cover from the Killed by Trash LP. They are paired on this split with the Husbands, an all-girl group from San Francisco. An odd match, but somehow it works. Rough and tuff w/ dirty guitars and vocals, the Husbands drive two garage rock punches, including an Ike Turner cover! Another great addition to the Show and Tell catalog fo’ sure!

Video Hippos
Unbeast the Leash
Wildfire Wildfire

Great name, and a great duo from Baltimore. I caught these guys live with Dan Deacon, and was mighty impressed with them. This LP is amazing, and one of my greatest finds of the year. Lifting the gorgeous green and white swirl vinyl from the sleeve was the first hint of its greatness. They are truly, like a better Japanther. Video Hippos is compiled of a drummer and guitarist (with keyboards and effects added), and live, they project home-made movies in the background, including clips of a dolphin eating pizza and video games like Mario Paint! I’m severely in love with this record. Its simple, effective beats, fun-loving vocals, and pop aura are ferociously addictive. “Kool Shades” immediately caught me, while no one track on this record disappoints. One of the best full-lengths of the year!

Coming soon: Intelligence "Message of Love" 7inch, Toys that Kill & Tiltwheel 7"s from Razorcake Records, Jay Reatard's new EP and tons more...of course!

Updates & Recommendations + Bob Burns and the Breakups TONIGHT!

Hey guys-

Sorry, I'm behind on reviews! I've got a nice stack-o-wax to review. I recently started a free-lance writing gig, as well as my regular job, radio show, heading back to school, etc...you know the drill. I'll do my best to get stuff up ASAP! Seriously, so many great records have recently come out, including the Black Time/Husbands split 7" on Show & Tell, New Los Llamarada LP on S-S, new rad stuff on Plastic Idol including Imaginary Icons, Hank IV and Retainers, and TONS more. You should be seeing some reviews soon, I promise!

Check out my radio show archives as well for new and old music.

Also, I keep forgetting to mention, but some of my reviews appeared in the last issue of Midtown Monthly (the BIKE issue). I'm going to be trying to write more for this magazine. It's a super cool new thing out of Sacramento, and I'll be contributing to the music section. Pick it up in Sacto! Here's more information!
