IMPORTANT (Please read to avoid confusion):
Some items below may be tagged with a bold, red, all-caps "out of print/unavailable" notice. This does NOT mean that all other items not so tagged are, in fact, in stock -- or for that matter, in print and available, though there's a good chance they are. Some folks get confused on this point, and we can see why, so please read this for further clarification and other important before-you-order information. Unlike some mailorder websites, we don't have an electronic inventory system linked to our site, so you can't be sure of what we actually have or don't have in stock at any given moment without asking us -- please email our mailorder department for availability status -- or better yet, just go ahead and place your order using our shopping cart function and we'll get back to you with the status of each item. If you have general non-mailorder questions, email the store.


album cover PERNICE BROTHERS The World Won't End (Ashmont) cd 13.98
Joe Pernice, formerly of the Scud Mountain Boys, and Big Tobacco, and now the Pernice Brothers is turning out to be one of the most important singer songwriters of our time. It sounds like hyperbole, but Joe Pernice has managed to find a sound all his own, even though it draws heavily on music from the past, and make it important and relevent and most importantly fucking good. Having shed most of the 'No Depression' style country stylings of his first combo, the Scud Mountain Boys, Pernice now occupies a space rich in pop tradition; Bread, Jimmy Webb, America as well as the Beach Boys, the Beatles and the like. But unlike the current crop of retro popsters (High Llamas, the entire Elephant 6 Collective) Pernice doesn't just regurgitate watered down influences, he gleans the bare minimum, and applies it to his already practically flawless songwriting, and comes up with a sound that manages to be totally unique: a lush, hushed pop, heavy on the melancholy, and light on the kitsch. But it's all about the voice, high and fragile but intense and controlled, singing the most bittersweet and ridiculously perfect lyrics. Makes you want to break down and cry, sometimes because everything sucks, but just as often because everything is SO GOD DAMN GREAT even though you are alone and miserable and your girlfriend left you and your dog died. Perfect.
