Progress (It's A Snail's Life)

Greetings, Earthlings,

Technical difficulties should never get in the way of a party, if you ask me.
How do you feel about that?  Are you with me?
Willie Cry Records is soon to be releasing new stuff,
and is also re-releasing some of its favorite independently produced
albums via its site, building a library catalog of new, somewhat new and kind
of old.  Right now, on  www.williecryrecords.com, we're featuring, on our home
page, Aaron Cord's debut solo album, entitled SIEMO- Fossil Record, and it's currently
available on Itunes!

We also have Sad Sad Bicycle, and you can check out some of those downloadables.
I won't describe this, just let it speak for itself.

And we also have the digital re-release of The Gardes- O My Garde!

We're adding to the artist roster on the site, so if you thought you were on the label, looked and didn't see yourself, don't worry, don't spaz out, don't spit, you'll be up there soon.  Nothing Unreal was just added last night, an old mainstay.

For those of you near the OKC, there will be several upcoming performances of the Gussissin, check those out on the site-

If anyone's interested in obtaining any tangible artifacts, i.e. CD's, T-shirts (though these aren't posted anywhere at the moment, and there aren't really any made to my knowledge, but we could make some), just send us a message at williecryrecords@gmail.com  and we'll get something your way.  Real-life things will eventually be made available for automatic order, as well as that flighty digital shit.

Tip of the hat,

Gilbert Brayenstein

Checking In On A Monday-

      This is a tardy blog.
      That word "blog" truly sounds like you're puking words on to paper, no, not on to paper, on to screen.
     All the technological failures that surround us, i.e.  I had a short vid a few nights ago that I attempted to upload several times, yet it never finished the job, and I have uploaded things to the web before.  Maybe I'll get it up (in some form or fashion) soon. It's just a little over a minute and a half of Lance Grover (Gardes alumni) and Sasha Vennekotter's wedding, taking place down in Houston over a week ago. Down there, I heard a remark that I'm pretty behind on this blog, and yes I am, so now's to get back on track, and that's one of the great things about working for yourself is you don't have to fire yourself, even if you can't always pay yourself.  This hogwash I said earlier about a new newsletter coming from Willie Cry Records instead of the Gardes may still go into effect, eventually, but not now- maybe never-
sometimes I brainstorm out loud and speak too soon.
      But now, Ladies And Gentlemen, Hermaphrodites, Robots and Animals Who Can Read- we humbly present (proudly, too)-  Willie Cry Records  at  www.williecryrecords.com   Please go there and shop around a little- I'll have you know that it's a label and site-in-progress.  Pretty simple, basic stuff right now.  The site is in its infantile state and should grow and evolve as the months and years unfold.

      Recent activity:  low-fi, avant bedroom folk punk something musical outfit known as Sad Sad Bicycle has joined the ranks- currently, the EP titled Desert People is being displayed on the Willie Cry Records home page- follow the link there to check out a few more recent releases by Sad Sad Bicycle.

      The Gardes just released O My Garde!  digitally through Willie Cry- check it.

      I'll also have you know that I started to go on various rants about the world out there, but I decided to
hold my virtual breath and fill you in on the sunshiny things you can experience through Willie Cry Records- more artists coming to the roster soon.  I'll save any ranting for another time.  This is Willie Cry Records birthday, he/she's been in the womb a long time and just popped out.  Clink your glasses to the songs to come.
