This is the first in a series of proposed Blues Goblins records (including a rumored take on a complete Beethoven symphony) that should give fans of Quasi's beautifully twisted musical vision a rare second helping. Blues Goblins have performed on the USA west coast and finished dates with Jonathan Richman.

• Tour dates in Spring 2003

Recorded with members of Grandaddy, Quasi, Sleater-Kinney and Pond, Mr. Campbell's knack for creating otherworldly, orchestral psych is truly unmatched. His unique guitar-playing technique (e.g. his use of multi-tracked slide above the bridge almost resembles a full blown orchestra) has been showcased in his previous band Pond (Sub-Pop) as well as his four compositions on the Colonel Jeffrey Pumpernickel compilation.

Recalling The Grifters' perverse soul, the sad pop aspects of Sparklehorse and Grandaddy, an overall vibe of someone who's losing it à la Skip Spence, and happily in the shadow of the Pet Sounds legacy, Goldcard is truly a beautiful piece of work over which fans of mysterious, innovative pop music will drop to their knees, look upwards and thank the heavens the day these rare recordings were made available the public.

From Grandaddy:

Jason Lytle Vocals, piano, keyboards
Jim Fairchild Guitar, synth bass, keyboards, production
Aaron Burtch Drums, percussion, production

From Quasi:

Sam Coomes Vocals, keyboards, bass guitar, guitar, theremin, production

From Sleater-Kinney:

Janet Weiss Drums

From Pond:

Named after a popular children's book, Phantom Tollbooth was a strongly art-rock-influenced variation on the raging yet eclectic post-hardcore of Hüsker Dü and the Minutemen, incorporating quick tempo changes, noise experiments, and bits of jazz. The group was formed in 1984 in New York by guitarist Dave Rick--formerly of Yo La Tengo and a frequent collaborator with Bongwater, B.A.L.L., and King Missile-- along with Gerald Smith and Jon Coats. The band put out three crazed records on Homestead before breaking up-- like all good bands do-- in 1988.

What they said of Phantom Tollbooth

Phantom Tollbooth gives new meaning to the word "crunch." Combining things Burmese with the Meat Puppets and avant-jazz thrash (what the hell: thrazz), the band pummels mercilessly with lurching power chords and droning bass. -CMJ

It's got manic pop-oomph akin to the MC5's "Call Me Animal" powering a scattershot structural sensibility à la Ornette Coleman. -Jersey Beat

Phantom Tollbooth ... speaks to you in ejaculations: blurted out bits of information or flat-out sprints. -Spin

The meanest slice of hyper-rhythmic art punk to wake my neighbors in months. -NY Talk

• Guided by Voices' Robert Pollard joins Dave Rick, Gerard Smith, Jon Coats
  
• Unique, perverse nature of the record and Robert Pollard's fanatical, loyal following are sure to draw notice from all quarters

Calling on likeminded bedfellows like Stephen Malkmus (Pavement), Tad Doyle (Tad), John Moen (The Decemberists) and Dan Peters (Mudhoney) to help follow their tuneful and psychedlic hearts, the Takeovers waste no time pushing aside the sophmore curse. In fact, if you like John, Paul, the bass player from Wire and/or Guided By Voices, you're in good hands with Bad Football.

Chris Slusarenko knows exactly what to do, guiding Robert Pollard through a musical journey of his own past, present, and future, while Pollard continues to test his abilities and grow as a songwriter. This is something he is rarely given credit for, but here's one example of where he most certainly should. --Bart Bealmear, All Music Guide

Off Records and the two creators of Hedwig and the Angry Inch rounded up an inspired all-star cast including Yoko Ono with Yo La Tengo, Sleater-Kinney with Fred Schneider, Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Rufus Wainwright, The Breeders and many others, to participate in a Hedwig-themed charity album for the Harvey Milk School in NYC.

Hedwig tells the story of transsexual rocker, an East German immigrant whose sex change operation has been botched and who finds herself living in a trailer park in Kansas. The show, movie and music have been embraced by critics and audiences alike (including a stint on Late Night With David Letterman), quickly becoming something of a cult classic. New Line Cinema produced the movie and brought Hedwig to the big screen where it was eventually nominated for a Golden Globe and won several awards at Sundance Film Festival. Wig in a Box marks the first authorized post-Hedwig release; along with the amazing lineup, featuring several once-in-a-lifetime collaborations, a massive critical and fan following will make this record the event of the season.

• Incredible all-star line-up
  
• The first album to have new songs from the creators of Hedwig
  
• Rainlake Productions (a NYC-based documentary company) are also creating a documentary on some of the kids from the Harvey Milk School and the making of the album, including several of the recording sessions with the artists involved.
  
• Cover design by Hedwig animator Emily Hubley, with students from the Harvey Milk School
