- Artist: Nod
- Title: O Nod O Moon
- Format: CD
- Label: Nod Recordings (USA)
- Catalog ID: CarbonDist_ONodOMoon
"O Nod O Moon captures Nod at a rejuvenation point in their storied career as indie-rock castaways. Like a splash of fresh water on your face after working a long, hot, irritating day, Nod delivers you to a forgotten freedom. Lyrical themes on O Nod O Moon include a wide range of subject matter, including work theft, the moon, divorce, money problems, and love. Keeping with Nod tradition, the recordings here vary from plush and polished studio recordings ("Syddy", "Feeling Kinda Pouty") to the bare, first take, mumbling of pretty song ideas ("Old Man Waiting for You"). Fans of Nod will love this release for it's twisted blues, off-kilter tunings, and slippery pop melodies. New fans, many of whom were not yet born when Nod first formed on the beaches of Lake Ontario in 1990, should prepare for aural initiation. This is pure Nod."

"Velvet Elvis return in all their ragged glory to lay down a tape that features facets of both their past and present. No Rules in the Wasteland is a cassingle style release of epic proportions, featuring two brand new songs accompanied by two songs from the Favorite Horses sessions.
On the A side we have the sprawling, 15- minute title track, No Rules in the Wasteland. Here the band rides their signature riffs and soaring dual vocals into new supernaturally charged atmospheres, resulting in their heaviest and most psychedelic work to date. The B-side features two early rockers recorded during the Favorite Horses sessions: Pretty Girls in Lace and Stop and Think. Wrapping up this unearthly phantasm is the spoken word/dronescape, Wheres Your Marlboro Man Now?
Pro printed on Stonehenge artist paper in handmade matchbox style sleeves. Hand numbered edition of 100."

- Title: 9 hours with Jim and the Greatful Dead
- Format: CDR
- Label: Carbon Records
- Catalog ID: CR54
[Recently found inventory from record store. 1 copy back in stock!]
"9 hours with jim and the greatful dead is a 30+ minute improvisation using guitar, amp and a few guitar modulation effects that I find unique and necessary to express through certain sounds, and is a one take 30+ minute "jam". when I first planned to record it it was meant to be a joke on a long and strange conversation I had with Jim Dunbar and Don Fleming at a show the night before about The Legendary Greatful Dead jams in the west coast that supposedly lasted sometimes up to that long and that apparently Jim saw more than once. I wanted to make something with enough variation of sound and mood so that it felt like it was 9 hours compressed in a much shorter "jam", steal some interesting moments from the eternal dictation and crunch them all together in one piece. When I started playing the guitar, the piece evolved into something else and I just let it go. for 30 minutes +, what I consider a long time for 1 "jam". maybe I am to young and have a short attention span, or maybe I just wasn't there. You can ask Jim about it, Jim was there, for 9 hours, more than once. I really couldn't be there, I wasn't born at the time and currently I am still trying to finish college."

"Known primarily for his work on baritone sax in a variety of duo and trio formats with the likes of Chris Corsano, Paul Flaherty, Ravi Padmanabha and most recently Bill Nace, Steve Baczkowski unleashes his first recorded solo outing that pushes his improvising techniques and sonic palette to a whole new level on Tone Arm.

- Artist: Rodd Keith
- Title: My Pipe Yellow Dream
- Format: LP
- Label: roaratorio
- Catalog ID: CarbonDist_ROAR23
Song Poems Wanted read the ads. We need new ideas for recording! The send-us-your-lyrics business was a borderline scam, taking whatever lyrics came their way from would-be songwriters and for a fee setting them to music. None of the results ever came close to being a hit, and to be sure, the vast majority was sufficiently bland or clumsy to insure no great karmic loss in their instant obscurity and miniscule press runs. But Rodd Keith the late, great genius whose prolific output was almost completely confined to the song-poem industry had a knack for turning sows ears into silk purses. The nature of the business required him to work quickly, with no second takes, and his skill at writing and arranging on the fly was not unlike that of a master improviser. When at his best, he put his unique musical stamp on some lucky customers submission.
My Pipe Yellow Dream is the second Roaratorio anthology of the highlights of Rodd Keiths work. Compiling fifteen previously unreissued songs from 1966 through his death in 1974 including a never-before-heard cover of Choo Choo Train My Pipe Yellow Dream showcases the full range of his talents. From exquisite mid-60s pop balladry (Deep Velvet) to blue-eyed soul (You Dont Have To Alibi) to folk-rock (Tired Of Waiting) to solo Chamberlain creations (Red Sports Car) to gospel testifying (O Jesus My Savior) to a pair of patriotic screeds (the all-spoken word America The Not So Beautiful and the bizarre-world lounge funk of Search Out Your Soul, American), this collection continues the rehabilitation of Rodd Keiths recorded legacy from thrift-shop throwaway to celebrated cult artist.
A limited edition LP in a gorgeous gatefold jacket, with artwork by Josh Journey-Heinz and liner notes from song-poem vocalist Dick Kent.

- Artist: Coffee
- Title: pissing contest loser
- Format: DIGITAL
- Label: Carbon Records
- Catalog ID: CR138
At some point QBICO mentioned to Dave Cross that they were interested in putting out a Coffee album. Dave Cross gave me two cassette tapes that were recorded years earlier. One had a spacey synth jam that he wanted me to change from Stereo to Mono and spruce up a bit. The other was a four track practice jam tape of Dave Cross, Tim Poland and Joe Sorriero playing some sort of noisy free jazz or something. Dave told me that he liked how bits of it sounded, but did not like any particular chunks as songs. His direction to me was to use this as source material and make it sound like Harry Pussy.
I transfered the four tracks individually from the tape, listened to each and then selected short sections that seemed the most appropriate and mastered them individually. I then dumped all the snippets into a multi-track program and started to arrange them. Mostly I stuck similar bits together and sort of constructed songs, that overlapped. At some point I also got the idea that I should give each player a short solo section, to make it seem more like one long, organic, free jazz piece. The result was "Pissing Contest (Loser Version)". It did not sound like Harry Pussy. For some reason it reminded me of This Heat. I then had an idea that I should make a more chaotic version by simply looping every track after it made its appearance in my constructed recording. Afterwards I made several different mastered versions of both versions and gave them to Dave. Dave told me had a hard time picking as he liked both versions, but the second version came closer to his original concept so that's what we sent to QBICO to get pressed as "Pissing Contest". If one listens closely, one can hear this first version underneath the official version. Also included in this release is a Stereo version of "Space 1988".
