seriously happening sets on dublab by joshua abrams natural information society (2012 west coast 'cairo gang' line-up) & by cairo gang ('natural information society' line-up).  both available as podcasts on i-tunes, search dublab.

to eremite's international customers:  as you may know the u.s. postal service has rather drastically increased its international shipping rates (see NPR story).  the cost of shipping a single CD internationally has gone from $6 to nearly $13.  the shipping settings at eremite.com are adjusted to reflect the new rates however due to limitations in the paypal shipping calculator the shipping cost charged for certain multi-item combinations can be crazily inaccurate.  eremite encourages multi-item buyers to contact the label directly via the webmail form to adjust -down- (hopefully) your shipping costs.  it's most efficient if you do this after you place your order (no worries you will hear back from me).  FYI it's now way more cost effective to order two or more CDs than it is to order a single title.  big thanks for your understanding, let's not get too discouraged.

check out the joshua abrams natural information society exclusive live track at the wire magazine.
