Does Your Cat Know My Dog? is now officially out. We had a very nice release party at the Bad Bonn last saturday with really cool live shows from :take:, Sir Richard Bishop and Sum of R. Thanks to everyone who came.
We still have some copies of the Bad Bonn comp to sell here, but not so many, so you know what to do if you want to grab one. Otherwise, the records are, as usual, distributed by a-muzik for europe, Thrill Jockey for the USA and if you live in the UK, Norman Records is there. (2010-02-12)
This quick news to let you know that you can now pre-order the Bad Bonn compilation called Does your cat know my dog?.
Its price is 12 euros, and you have to add the shipping costs (that can change depending the quantity and the postal adress).
For those who are interested, you have to fill the order form on the website. Within the following 24 hours we'll send you an email with the total amount and our paypal adress. We will ship the LP during the very first week of february. For those who plan to come to the release party, they can save the shipping cost and take the album directly at the Bad Bonn (and say Hi, it is always a pleasure to meet you). If you want to go this way, mention it during the order.
A little advise, hurry up, the records will probably sell fast. (2010-01-08)

Get it? (2009-12-21)
As announced two weeks ago, we have the pleasure to reveal the tracklist of our next release, a 12'' compilation curated by the Bad Bonn.
It is called Does your cat know my dog? - Bad Bonn's selection for the new ear.
And without further ado, here is what we are talking about:
Side A
1A. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Love Comes To Me (live)
2A. Your Fault - I'm Washing Your Feet...
3A. Pierre Omer - Lullaby
4A. Joe Galen - Gold Smatter
5A. Carla Bozulich and Ches Smith - Elements Ascending
Side B
1B. Sunn O))) - Isengard (Chopped & Screwed)
2B. Sum Of R - Not Every Chamber Has A Door
3B. Bulbul + Boris Hauf - [ab]end
4B. combineharvester - Shallow Is Just Enough
5B. Sonic Youth - No Way (power cut version)
Each track is previously unreleased or rare. Sonic Youth's contribution was recorded at the 2009 kilbi, the annual Bad Bonn's festival. If you ever wanted to know how the band sounds without guitars, you have to hear this.
As you might guess, we are pretty excited! And we hope you are too. It will come in a lovely black and white cover with a scissors cut made by Jad Fair (click here to see it).
As usual, it will be a one-time pressing in limited edition. This time, it is 650 copies only.
We still have a lot of work to do on this record, even if the master and artwork steps are over. So, as you might have noticed with the record's name, it will be released around the second week of February. Sorry, it won't come under your Christmas tree! We will have around 100 copies available for pre-order on January. We will also put two songs on our myspace page and on the website soon.
Stay tuned not to miss anything! (2009-11-28)
