New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Psychic Handshake new releases: Babysitter & Hag Face LPs
« on: September 09, 2015, 05:25:58 PM »
Two new LPs from the best bands in Canada: Babysitter and Hag Face.
"Babysitter" is the eponymous sophomore LP (after 7 full length cassettes) from the Victoria, BC/Montreal, QC rock band who deftly blend anthemic grunge rock with stoner wankery of the highest order. Cover art by comics legend Marc Bell.

https://soundcloud.com/psychic-handshake/11-envy
Hag Hace's "R.I.P." is a brilliant mix of Huggy Bear, Babes in Toyland, Discharge, and Kleenex. Primo stuff that works across some really familiar vibes while also sounding wholly unique. Songs are either fast and rhythmic or slow-burning like the one below. A couple of the fast tunes are coming out soon, so I cant link yet. Here's a slow one:

You can pre-order both of these now at: http://psychichandshake.bigcartel.com/, though both records are done & shipping to us now. We have switched up our webstore to work on Canadian dollars, so Americans can basically pick up our records for a song (a piddling $15 CDN each). Maybe it's time you started! We also put out the most recent Shearing Pinx LP and people here slept on that for some reason. It is incredible....

Distros are invited to get in touch as well.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / PSYCHIC HANDSHAKE RECORDINGS MOVING SALE - 50% OFF!
« on: June 16, 2015, 12:39:37 PM »
PSYCHIC HANDSHAKE MOVING SALE
Psychic Handshake Recordings will be relocating to Kingston, Ontario this summer. Montreal has been home to the label since its inception in 2007, so we are sad to leave; but we are looking forward to the future in the Limestone City.
To celebrate and help make this relocation a little easier we are having a massive moving sale on all in stock items. This includes records by Shearing Pinx, Sex Church, Babysitter, UBT, Outdoorsmen, and more.
Using promo code MOVE you will get 50% off all items in our webstore at www.psychichandshake.bigcartel.com
That works out to $6.00 for LPs, $2.50 for 7?s and cassettes, and $5.00 for CDs. Canadian shipping prices still apply, but this is a great opportunity to buy in bulk because the shipping cost per item goes down the more you have in your package.
This sale will run from now until July 20th. At that point the label will close up shop for a month or so. After that we will be returning with two absolutely killer new records.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Any homebrewers here?
« on: January 19, 2015, 02:55:20 PM »I did a cider in November from cheap 2 x bushel bags of apples. Everything came out ok: very dry, slightly effervescent cider of about 4.7%. Juicing the apples was a pain (in two borrowed run of the mill juicers), and I didn't have the gear to deal with a very fine, foamy pulp, which I had to skim off throughout the process. This, combined with the lees left behind meant I was only able to bottle 9.75 litres. Next time I will just start with juice - ideally from an orchard. This was my first brewing experience. Want to do an easy beer to get a sense of the experience.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Psychic Handshake 40% Holiday Sale
« on: December 04, 2014, 03:41:19 PM »
http://psychichandshake.bigcartel.com/
We've had quite a few new releases this year, need to make some space, having a huge sale. Everything is on sale, including brand new and back catalogue Psychic Handshake releases as well as a few distro items like the latest Pink Noise album.
Not sure if I've had a chance to promote this year's releases on termbo. These are them:
Shearing Pinx - "People" LP. So new I'm still assembling these puppies & will probably make another post. This is the umpteenth album from Canada's only noise punk band. Long abstract songs, but probably groovier than most SHPX albums as a result of relatively new bass player, S.Koke. Absolutely killer stuff.
Legato Vipers - "LV" LP. Adroit and Amusing instrumental surf music from small town Ontario. Recorded off the floor in about an hour, and not a flub on this thing. Amazing live band and they don't disappoint on record. Easily the most incredible packaging we've had the pleasure of releasing as well: branded pleather jackets & translucent seafoam vinyl. We're just throwing our money away over here!
Brazilian Money - S/T cassette. 42 minutes of hi-fi re-recordings of tunes from the extensive back catalogue of Edmonton, Alberta's Brazilian Money. Very funny, intelligent, skewed, and catchy diy pop in the vein of Elephant 6 bands and Department Store Santas.
You'll Never Get to Heaven - Adorn 12" (6 song) EP. Masterful sample-based dream pop along the lines of Cocteau Twins & Julee Cruise, as well as Fennesz, The Caretaker, etc. Includes covers from Before and After Science and Satie. I also have the last copies of the bands debut full-length of Halifax, NS' Divorce Records, and it is a real treat for fans of On-U Sound type of stuff.
Besides the above, we have a bunch of back catalogue titles on sale including records from Babysitter, Sex Church, UBT, Drainolith, Outdoorsmen, Vomit Squad, and so on.
There are songs to listen to at the store, which is right here: http://psychichandshake.bigcartel.com/
Thanks!

Non-Music Shit / Re: Nardwuar
« on: November 18, 2014, 07:43:41 PM »One of the greatest Canadians. Once heard a story about how Nardwuar and Bobby Beaton from the Gruesomes became friends and Nardwaur took him celebrity stalking in Vancouver.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Jian Ghomeshi Sex Pervert
« on: October 29, 2014, 03:18:45 AM »Sorry, I was definitely in a bad mood yesterday. I don't mean to damn him to hell. I can think of a number of other editorialists (including a few at the CBC) whose vitriolic ideology makes them much worse for the holistic health of this country. When I say I hope justice is served I mean that I hope the alleged victims are able to find peace. Sadly, I don't think they will get it from the public evisceration of the Jian... what with these anonymous internet fuckers waiting in the wings to bully them. That's what has me so disgusted about all of this. Someone ought to drop a bomb on the comments section at the Globe, Star, Post, and CBC. Bomb the Sun in its entirety. And bomb the gamers too.
Three women have said he assaulted them. That's it, that's all.
look, i don't trust him either. he's obviously a douchebag. just think i'd rather have a bit more info before damning him to hell. it's gross when people automatically assume a woman is lying about something like this, i just want to be clear that's not what i'm saying, and i ain't defending him. anyway.

« on: October 27, 2014, 05:27:46 PM »One of the worst Canadians, but he was a relatively good radio interviewer. Positively sick of visiting Toronto and hearing about his alleged indiscretions, so I'm glad to see this is out in the open now. Sick of Harper, sick of what his government has done to everything good in this country, sick of this, and I am sick of Jian. Fuck. I hope justice is served.
