Alright, gang,
It has been a good long while since I've reached out to all you Part TIme Punks at the same time.
But this Thursday is Part Time Punks' Annual Fundrazor show on KXLU 88.9FM from 3-7pm PST.
Probably the most important day of the year to me. One of 'em, for sure.
Thanks to YOU all, the PTP Fundrazor show has been the #1 fund-raiser at the station for the past 2 years.
And I gotta tell you, not only do your donations help keep KXLU on the air, but having PTP come in #1 means
the Powers That Be are far less likely to fuck with me and/or try to cancel the show.
So yeah...that's why it matters. It matters a lot.
As in the paast, I have spent the past year collecting and hording doubles of fantastic &/or rare records
in my closet so that I can offer them up to YOU generous folks as "Premiums" for giving to the station.
The list of all that rad, rare shit is attached.
You will also see that I have called in a lotta favors & gotten autographed records from a lot of PTP's favorite bands.
So there's that. Or I should say "those."
AND...last and certainly NOT least...there is an all new Volume of the Part Time Punks Radio Session Samplers.
This one is Volume 4, and probably the best fucking one yet.
(I know I keep saying that every year, but I'm pretty sure you folks also keep agreeing with me b/c they DO keep getting better!)
These samplers are the ONLY place you can actually get your hands on these rare radio sessions these bands have been
recording exclusively for the PTP Radio Show. And they're hand-wrapped in hand-made sleeves by ME.
So, literally, a labor of love like no other.
Volume 4 includes exclusive tracks by these bands:
Diiv, Crystal
Stilts, Violens, Blouse, Tropic Of Cancer, Cosmetics, The KVB, Holograms,
Whirr, Ringo Deathstarr,
Terry Malts, Lorelei, Half String, Astrobrite, Deathday,
Violet Tremors, Rosenkopf, Part Time, Manatee, Grimble Grumble, Tennis System, Surf
Club
And of course I will be repressing more copies of Volumes 1-3 in case yer missing any of those.
Now, the catch is, of course, you have to CALL IN on Thursday...or email...between the hours of 3-7pm PST
to make your contribution and stake yer claim. That is the one and only window of opportunity.
(Hence, me giving you the heads up NOW.)
Finally, here's a thanks to ALL of you for all of your ears, and all of your presence,
all of your suggestions, and all the bands YOU have turned me onto...and of course for ALL your support.
Please give generously this year if you can, folks.
It really is for the best of causes...aka keeping KXLU 88.9FM & the Part Time Punks radio show alive...
Cheers for all,
Michael
