From pitchfork/sub pop site....
Clear off some room on that record shelf now, and save yourself the trouble later: in conjunction with all their 20th birthday festivities, Sub Pop is set to bring your turntable seven inches of bliss on a monthly basis with this summer's relaunch of the label's fabled Singles Club.
The subscription series will last for one year and one year only, bringing a lucky few platters from the likes of Black Lips, Black Mountain, the Notwist, Mika Miko (who reportedly turn in a Black Flag cover for theirs), Arthur & Yu, Tyvek, Unnatural Helpers, Blues Control, and a few more just waiting to be announced.
The good times kick off August 15 with a pair of tracks from Om, with eleven more 7''s to follow. And in deference to these digital times, you'll not only get the disc, but also a coupon for high-quality MP3s of each and every track.
If your interest is piqued, you'll wanna move on this one, pronto: the singles are limited to 1,500 copies apiece, and subscriptions are available now through Sub Pop's website. Your mailbox hasn't had it this good in years.
$90 subscription for those outside the USA.
oh dear, here we go again...
Wonder if they'll finally get their Mummies single?
TYVEK!?
They've signed to Sub Pop? wtf
Don't think so, Ubu. None of those bands are on Sub-Pop as far as I know.... and I can't imagine many of them signing up either any time soon.
I noticed that too Ubu. Fuck, can I justify $100 for Tyvek and Black Lips, oh hang on, there's Unnatural Helpers too - fuck!
Sell the rest on ebay. This might end up like the Jay Reatard thing.
exchange rates good?
Works out at AUS$7.89 per 7''
yay!
I like Mika Miko, even though everyone I know hates em!
i wonder how fast this will sell out?
1500 copies is not many...
sub pop sold out years ago, maaaaan.
sold out!? how could we be angry at the guys that brought us nirvana, soundgarden, and fleet foxes?
so true. I love these guys!
ive decided i'm getting this when (if?) i get my new job.
so i hope they call soon, haha.
as usual with this half of the roster is a must have and the other half is of no interest whatsoever. they must try to make it that polarizing. i signed up for it last time round in 1991 or something and got some of the best singles i own (dwarves, lubricated goat, lazy cowgirls etc).
I wonder if the three unannounced ones will be decent?
Hmmm I'm interested in the Tyvek one...
didn't they already resurrect this once about eight years ago when they put out that white stripes single?
Yeah, I think the last one also included Bonnie Prince Billy and Modest Mouse. Dunno the full list.
Here's the full list :)

Got the Mika Miko one today.
How is it? Is that number 3? Om, Unnatural Helpers, Miko Miko? I only really want the Tyvek one cause they are the rulest.
Haven't listened to any of them yet, to be honest. I have a small pile waiting for me to clear all the paperwork from the top of my turntable so I can listen to them.
Looking forward to the Tyvek and Black Lips ones.
In case you missed out on the Tyvek ''Sidewalk 45, M'lady are doing a re-press very shortly.
Got my Mika Miko one today too. Sweet action
I WANT OM (has anyone heard anything from them? i clearly don't want it enough to be bothered emailing them)
same kaz but maybe ill email them later
Got Mika Miko, but my turntable is busted. :(
I just emailed them: info@subpop.com
I urge all of youse to email them, too! I want my OM 7''!
I want my Om too :(
Email them!
saying what?
where's my motherfuckin' om?
Yah.
i want black lips.
I want Tyvek.
the mika miko single didn't impress me, aurally.
made me sad. :(
i emailed about om and they said one would be sent out and that was three weeks ago :(
just emailed again. SIGH.
STILL NO REPLY ABOUT OM! FUCKERS.
i emailed sub pop yesterday and just received a very polite and apologetic reply. they just sent my replacement om 7'', and he/she asked me to ask any other australians missing their om 7'' to email him/her and he/she would take care of them personally: sams@subpop.com
Thanks for the tip Rigid - I emailed Sam yesterday about my missing Om 7'' and had a reply first thing this morning letting me know that a replacement had been sent...
