Ruby Isle is back at their elbo.ws cover project once again and you can download all the tracks here free!!! They have been covering the number one song over at http://elbo.ws for the past 7 weeks and have some interesting versions of Bon Iver, The Decemberists, Fleet Foxes, and more. Each song has a video chronicling the story of two rats who hate gorillas; especially pink ones. It can all be found here.

The gang is heading down to Austin keep an eye here for when and where you can catch The Buddy System and Ruby Isle at SXSW. The Buddy System will be playing shows on the way out there and those dates will be up soon too!

2: Grape Soda - Rock of Ages (Traditional)

3: Grape Soda - All Walls Fall

4: The Young Sinclairs - It\’s Christmas Time All Over Again (Tom Petty)

Also you can still buy last year’s XMAS 3: The War on Christmas from iTunes iTunes (it includes the comic book!) or order the CD only from the Kindercore Shop.

Hello people of the internet!

Back in ‘98 Kindercore released our first Xmas compilation (Christmas in Stereo) which featured songs by The Olivia Tremor Control, Of Montreal and tons of others. Well that one sold out so we made a second one (Christmas 2) in 2000 that had songs by tons of other killer groups… and that one sold out.

So… last fall we released XMAS 3: The War on Christmas in a limited edition of 100 copies packaged with a comic book and sold out the run in a couple of days.

I just found 50 copies of the CD that were left over so we are offering those copies for sale this year with a bonus - everyone who orders the XMAS 3 CD will also be entered in a random drawing to win a copy of the long out of print Christmas in Stereo and Christmas 2 CDs.*

Also in keeping with the fact that the original version of XMAS 3 was a benefit for Oxfam, $2 from the sale of each of these CDs will be used to buy toys for kids who would otherwise go without at the Athens Boys and Girls Club.

Of course you can still buy the digital version (including the comic book) from iTunes

The CD includes 20 tracks the Kindercore stable of talented entertainment makers!!

1. Rump Posse - Carol of the Manbarks
2. Folklore - Christmas Ape Goes to The Moon
3. The Observatory - Xmastime (is Xmastime)
4. Fabulous Bird - Everybody Knows It’s Christmas Time Again
5. King of Prussia - Christmas on The Other Side
6. The 63 Crayons - Holiday
7. Ruby Isle - Jack’s Obsession
8. The Buddy System - Xmas on TV
9. Blak Thor - Noel (I’m Giving Love For Christmas)
10. Murder Beach - All Around
11. Mumbletron 2k12 - Outta Bed
12. Je Suis France - Baby, Please Don’t Get Stoned (It’s Christmas)
13. Bunnygrunt - The Blues for Xmas
14. Koncak - It’s Christmas Time
15. Headlights - Kicker of Elves
16. The Show is The Rainbow - Silent Night
17. The Snowsuit Sound - The Ballad of Black Piet
18. Venice is Sinking - The Grey Line
19. The Jersey Barrier - Grey Skies
—–

Get your copy (which signs you up for the drawing) by clicking this link!

So go order one today and spread the word so we can make sure to have plenty of toys for the kids in Athens this Xmas!

Ryan

*The drawing will be held sometime before the end of the first week of December (or sooner if all 50 copies sell out faster) and the winner will get their prizes mailed for delivery before XMAS.

Speaking of Ruby Isle (who have a track on XMAS 3), don’t forget to pick up their epic mash of classic rock and party pop on the debut disc Night Shot!

****

Also new to the store is a brand new mind melting 5 color shirt from Illustrator and Threadless superstar Travis Pitts. Pick up Modern Science Will Save The World or Kill Us All today!

****

Everyone here is about as pumped as pumped can be about our new President-Elect Barry O and to celebrate we are offering the remaining few ObamaRad shirts in the shop. Pick some up and be the talk of your Inauguration party!

****

While you are at the Shop be sure to check out some of the long out of print vinyl from before the fall (which I found in my shed) and have listed for sale at olde timey prices that put eBay to shame!

****

If you are looking for a killer holiday present that you won’t find elsewhere check out the paintings from Buddy System bassist/singer and illustrator Lauren Gregg! Magic!

****

Before I head off to pack up orders I wanted to let you know about the forthcoming Ruby Isle/Buddy System colored vinyl split 7″ and the first Kindercore release of 2009 - The Songs of the Young Sinclairs. Check out the album art below and friend the boys on the MySpace for sights, sounds and news of touring. Keep your eyes peeled for all of this plus new Buddy System songs (and videos)

****

EXCELSIOR!
RYAN
