Hey, Portland people! Go to this show!

Goodnight Loving are “lighting up the blogosphere” (cool phrase that we just made up) with the recently released Mp3 from their upcoming LP, The Goodnight Supperclub, out July 21st.

Here are but of a few of the glowing writeups this sweet, sweet Mp3 has been receiving.

Been a long-ass time since we’ve been able to be bothered to print up T-shirts, but here ya go!

YOUNG GOVERNOR – CINDY’S GONNA SAVE ME 7″
Young Governor is Ben Cook from Fucked Up. And Marvelous Darlings. And Bitters, and probably a bunch more we can’t think of at the moment. When he contacted Dirtnap about releasing one of the 10 million or so 7″s they got coming out in the 010, it seemed like a no-brainer. Cindy?s Gonna Save Me is a fractured lo-fi pop gem, with perhaps a bit more of a 60?s influence than some Young Guv material. B side is a UK pub style smash. One time only pressing of 1000, all copies come with download coupon. FIRST 200 COPIES COME ON GOLD VINYL AND ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FROM GREEN NOISE RECORDS.

NIGHT BIRDS – S/T 7″
Night Birds lineup will look familiar to fans of Dirtnap and awesome music in general, being composed of members of The Ergs, Psyched To Die, Hunchback, and many more. Musically, though, it?s probably not what you think, (it?s better) given the ex members list. Think speedy, catchy stuff that blurs the lines of punk and very early So Cal hardcore, with lots of surf/spy guitar thrown on top! Adolescents meets Dead Kennedys? 5 songs that go by quick, including what I think is the first instrumental on a Dirtnap release, although at this point it?s starting to get real hard to keep track of that shit. Split release with Grave Mistake Records. At the band?s request, there is no color vinyl on this release, but the first 500 will come in hand stamped sleeves.

We’ve been putting out a lotta 7″s lately. 3 in November, 2 this month, 2 in early April, and 2 more lined up for May.

Here’s a streaming sampler of some of the highlights, including some upcoming stuff from Career Suicide and The Tranzmitors.

Congrats to Niki Sibley for winning the first ever Green Noise Records Commercial Making Contest. Here it is:

Congrats also to Scott Von Rocket, who took 2nd prize.

We predict high payin’ commercial making jobs in both your futures.

We’re bookin’ a rare south-of-the-border visit from our pals The Tranzmitors! You GOTTA come to this!

Here is a slightly revised schedule for the White Wires at SXSW.

Got 2 new releases available now, both with color vinyl editions that are ONLY available via mailorder. (and at Green Noise Records, for you Portland-ers!)

Potential Johns – s/t 7″ $4.25
Solo pop explorations courtesy of Jeff Burke of The Marked Men! 2 tracks of lo fi pop genius, recorded on the eve of Jeff’s moving to Japan. While retaining the catchiness and energy of past efforts, the songwriting here takes a turn for the reflective and bittersweet, and the tempos are slowed down a bit from the break-neck pace of your typical Marked Men song. Still rocks like crazy, though. All copies come with a download code! First 200 are on RED VINYL and are only available direct from Dirtnap!

Mind Spiders – s/t 7″ $4.25
Solo pop explorations courtesy of Mark Ryan of The Marked Men! 4 tracks of intelligent, well crafted, home-recorded pop, with most of the instruments handled by Mark himself. (plus drums on 2 songs courtesy of Greg Rutherford of Bad Sports/High Tension Wires fame) All copies come with a download code! First 200 on RED vinyl, only available direct from Dirtnap!

Both of these are available now from www.greennoiserecords.com As always, free shipping on orders of $25 or more for U.S. Customers!

Tomorrow nite, Ken from Dirtnap will be on KPSU (98.1 FM, or stream it on the interweb!) spinnin’ records from 7-8, followed by the Mean Jeans playin’ live from 8-9! Tune in, turn on, etc.
