Not many have heard of the GIS RV 1381, but it is quite an amazing machine, and it has it’s own Myspace.com page. It is an informational switchboard that has taken advantage of the fact that it can call anyone at anytime, and control error telephone messages. To truly enjoy it’s raw funny power and listen to some of it’s latest pranks, go to http://www.myspace.com/gisrv1381. Good Day.
We here at Gift Shop Records (the royal we I suppose) are very close to revealing a new website design. I think It will be pretty cool, because I believe that the internets is a cool place. I want to make it with easy access to the things that are important (bands, videos, etc.) as well as making it and easy place to navigate. Keeping up the website will be pretty easy thanks to the large community of Wordpress developers and the good people at Wordpress. We also plan on using Vimeo to host most of our video content (because they are dope), but youtube is not so bad itself. Thanks all.
I recently posted a video of The Daffodils playing their song “Summer Eyes”. This song will eventually be released on Gift Shop Records but we are still deciding when and where it will be released. But for now, enjoy. Also, the new Daffodils Album “Gulls and Buoys” will be released sometime this spring or summer. Keep a lookout because it will be a “Must Have” for your music collection.

We here at GSR have been talking to the only know Reggae artist to sing about such subjects as Star Trek, Dungeons and Dragons, Threes Company, and Cheez-its. His name is Mister Saturday and his songs are epic.
He has just completed an Interview with the Spanish music Blog Musica de los 80 y 90, which you can read Here. It’s a good read and delves into the strangely imaginative mind of this music mastermind. His first CD will be available for download very shortly, keep checking back and we will keep you posted. In the meantime, check out his video for “Get Your Own Box”.

We are working on getting more distribution here at Gift Shop Records and soon we will have more music available through Amazon.com and iTunes. We will keep you posted on this.
In other news… If you are in Portland there is a secret show tomorrow night (March 20th) at 8pm at The Know with “The Daffodils“. This is going to be great because the Daffodils are great and they don’t play very often. Gift Shop Records will be re-releasing The Daffodils’ first CD “Renee and Eugene” as well as the new Daffodils Album “Gulls and Buoys”. This is gonna be a good one.
We are very excited to announce the new release by “Victory and Good Hunting” on Gift Shop Records. Eric Bandel is behind this great mix of old style/classical music that you don’t see enough of these days. Great songs. Check out the myspace page at www.myspace.com/victoryandgoodhunting. You can purchase the cd here. Very excited.
Gift Shop Records is expanding to include the Gift Shop Skit Shop. It’s fairly simple, we have been making videos weather it be music based or just random awesomeness. These videos are hosted inthe following 3 places; Youtube.com, Vimeo.com, and Myspace.com. We are also working on beefing up our social-ness online with Myspace.com and Virb.com accounts. These will be pretty cool very soon. Here is an example of one our our skits… Read the rest of this entry »
This weekend we worked on printing out the CD Cases for the upcoming self-titled release by Victory and Good Hunting. Big thanks to Ben of Dejekt for letting us use his printing equipment. Most of the prints came out looking a lot like this:
We printed on materials from Stumptown Printers and they came out pretty nice.
I am excited to announce that we will be releasing the new (as of yet unnamed) Mild Stallions Debut CD. The recording is nearly complete. Recording is going well (in Lelkoland) and the songs are nearly complete. More news on the way as the band gets itself together. In other news, The “Victory and Good Hunting” CD should be available early in the new year.
I just put up a new video of Night Mechanic playing at Mississippi Studios in Portland Oregon. The song is called “White Rash”. Enjoy. And keep a look out for the new Full Length coming out soon.
