Thanks for the input everyone! You can never have too many options.

I've heard bad things about Discmakers.
I've had good luck with these guys...http://www.cdrollout.com/    I don't know how competitive the pricing is but they're super easy to work with and even threw in some freebies. Tell 'em I sent you.
Cheers

i hear  "a to z audio" in cleveland has ok prices, and that theyre easy to talk down

Thanks! I'll check into that.

 220 Short is in the process of recording a new album. We have been looking at Discmakers' CD Replication packages, but feel that we could find a better deal elsewhere. Any suggestions?

can anyone recommend any record distributors that cater to garage/punk/rock n' roll and may accept submissions for small releases?  Especially in Europe. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions!!

Man, what a serious shame.

RIP

This is such tragic, shocking news.  I first heard of Ricky Kulwicki in high school; his younger sister went to school with us, and his band the Frantix was the only thing close to real punk rock that we felt we had in 1980's suburban wasteland of Aurora CO.  He was so dreamy, so sweet, and such a rocker.  And he was practically ONE OF OUR OWN, so I followed everything he did.  I am who I am in part because of him.  I had the good fortune to call him a friend.  He was an amazing man, rocker, guitar player, father, and friend.  R.I.P. Ricky, you made the world a better place.

Sad to report the news here that a member of one of our Hideout bands has passed away. Ricky Kulwicki of The Buckingham Squares, who was also in the Sub Pop band The Fluid, passed away yesterday at the age of 49.

Do the live radio! It's all good experience whichever way you look at it. If you get confidence and some presenting skills out of it, it will help with your podcasting anyway.

I tend to write by myself(more out of necessity right now, as I'm without a band, but even with a band), work out a couple of riffs, then dip into a big book I have with half-written lyrics and figure out which ones will go with what. It's a bit of a painstaking process, but it usually works to get the start of a couple of good songs.

Yeah..tube amps are a strange beast when you are used to solid states. Just understand this. Wattage is going to be lower on them. 50 watts on a tube amp is louder than 100 watts on a solid state amp. 50-60 watts will be more than you will ever need. Actually, if you like dirty/overdriven tone, a 30 watt tube amp will be awesome. The louder the clean channel goes, the more the tubes saturate and give you natural overdrive/distortion. The higher the wattage, the higher you can turn them without them breaking up.

As far as the Peavey and Crates go. The crates are no longer produced. You can find them on ebay very easily. The peaveys are still made but the cost is out of your range for the new ones. Used, you can find them in your range on ebay on average.
