HHBTM is so super excited about getting to release the Home Recordings 1984 - 1990 of Joe Jack Talcum that we made these really cool Joe Jack Talcum pillowcases for a special edition pre-order. This is just the first volume in the Joe jack Talcum "Home Recordings Series". Volume 2 will be here just in time for the winter holidays. For those of you who don't know Joe is one of the main song-writers and sings some of the songs in the Dead Milkmen (a band that I have been a fan of for almost 25 years now). The sleeve is a Joe Jack design silkscreened by me on Pink / Grey / Cream sleeves. The deluxe version comes with a pillowcase and a button but hurry up as I only made 30 for pre-order. (these will not ship until the first week of July). Check below for upcoming Joe Jack tour dates....

The debut Orca Team 7" Single "Vancouver B.C." is now available and selling quickly. Like really really quickly. I mean this might be your most favorite new single of all time. Why should you buy it you might ask? Well for one it's a 3 song single. Two it has a charcoal ink silkscreen design on Strathmore cotton rag sleeve. Three it sounds as good as it looks. Think Santo and Johnny, think arctic surf, think tasteful reverb, think classic Buddy Holly, think you might need to just go ahead and buy the single already. Watch their video for "Vancouver B.C.".
Fishboy "Classic Creeps" UPDATE: The sleeves and inserts are in, the silkscreen posters are done, and the button sets are all finished. We just got the test pressing in this week, so if all goes well it looks like we'll have the vinyl in and ready to ship in 2 - 3 weeks. Eric is still putting together the embroidered portrait sleeves. (if you have pre-ordered the deluxe version of the album and not gotten an email from Eric, please email me at the hhbtm website) The Mid-Level pre-orders are complete. We have about 20 of the middle pre-orders left $20.00 each which includes the Album, the Button Set, and the 3 Color Silkscreen Poster. We have just 4 of the deluxe pre-orders left which are $50.00 and includes the Album, Button Set, Silkscreen Poster, and a Embroidered Sleeve with a Portrait of you as a Classic Creep.
