Dispatch 39 (Sunday Edition): From an imminent release to 6k bags of Cheetos! MCL happenings.

11x17 Poster insert for Uranian Fire
Dispatch 39: A little update of the lots going on at MCL HQ.

Ready for Imminent Release!
Solar Maximum is putting the final touches on the very limited vinyl 12" version of Uranian Fire, screen-printing the jackets and poster inserts. Only 143 hand numbered pieces will be available thru the MCL Big Cartel store, our bandcamp store and in brick-and-mortars around the SF Bay Area. The digital version of Uranian Fire has been getting some nice reviews so far and we are very excited to finally be releasing the album. Watch here for release date really really soon!

In the mean time, along with rehearsing for a live show debut, Solar Maximum has released another single track titled 'Empires' on our Soundcloud page. Come by and check it out and let us know what you think. Here it is:








Thao's Sunday
We are very, very excited to announce that the DS Peligro album titled Thao's Sunday is off to the presses for an October 2016 vinyl release on MCL. The album was written, recorded and produced by DS himself, curated by Heather and then mastered by Matt Kelley in San Francisco. The album artwork was designed by Sammy (Solar Maximum and MCLscreenworks).
DS is a one man experimental sound fiend. There's no way to accurately describe the genre, or even the time period of his tracks. One has to experience the prolific nature of this man's output to understand it. The passion and vision that come thru consistently are mesmerizing. Check him out!






PallasCatfight has been busy in studio recording and has released a few tracks thru her soundcloud page recently.






 What's Wrong With Me is a rocked up punk song with loud screamin' guitars and an equally loud and bratty vocal! This Pallas track was dug up outta the archives and as soon as it hit the ground it was on the run! Look for a couple more from Heather's archive to surface in the comin' months.

Sunday Edition vol.3 - Poems, Music and Orbs...thats a nice Sunday!

[For your Sunday afternoon reading and/or viewing pleasure, we present vol.3 of THE SUNDAY EDITION at Music for closetLames. A bit of this, a bit that, maybe art, whatev's. May include contributions from friends, associates, accomplices, not to exclude detractors, and maybe even us sometimes. So, kick back and dig in...]

(Page 1): More prose from the twisted mind and pen of John Middle.
  A precedent a funeral pyre. A lawyers recurring dream... A digital glitsch... Over driven in solid state... A march of skinny pennies... A sonnet sung in machine code... Sodomy and Victories made of ego and boredom. We are RIGHT They are WRONG Sad WORDS (STOLEN from poems and forced into hard labor by Matthew Bender TM) A rainbow scorched black and hideously crooked. Technicalities and leverage. Your child is starving. Mine is anorexic. A future unlimited Cast into irons. blinkered. Simplified. Lobotomized. and writhing. Justice cost an arm and a leg. Clapping now not an option.... hopping mad. That sound? (It's SUCTION>) HEX cast. TORT law. TOXIC MOLD "I OBJECT" perfect DIS-FUNKtion. Injunction. S and M SO HIP it hurts Love distracts RESTRAINT Brown shirt. A submarine became A SUNKEN BOAT. Harmonic distortion. An eye of GOAT.

(Page 2): Ramones Live New Years Eve 1977. (Ramones - Its Alive!) My favorite Ramones concert.

(Page 3): Her Majesty thee Spleen...We play for the orbs. Often times at jams we are accompanied by orbs who come out to dance to the hypnotic sounds of the Spleen. This is a fine example of the spectacle. Any thoughts?
