A few months ago, a new album by one of my favorite songwriters was released: Outlaster by Nina Nastasia. The print run for the vinyl was limited to 1000 and the distributor's warehouse tells me they have just three remaining. One's for me and the others are for the shop. I'm announcing it here because the records are coming from a distributor I don't buy from too often and since I'm placing an order, it's probably a good idea to bring in some other artists/labels that they carry. If there's anything you're looking for from these imprints, now's the time to speak up. If you're not familiar with Nina's output, some videos follow the list.

Secretly Canadian (Songs: Ohia, Antony and the Johnsons, BLK JKS, Danielson, Damien Jurado, Jens Lekman, Magnolia Electric Co., Yeasayer)
Temporary Residence (Explosions in the Sky, Mono, The Drift, Tarentel, Sybarite, Grails, Eluvium, The Books)
Hydra Head (Pelican, Harvey Milk, Khanate, Jesu, Torche)
Fat Cat (Nina Nastasia, Animal Collective, Mum, Max Richter)
K Records
Southern Lord (Boris, Sunn O))), Earth, Pelican)
Warp (Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Bibio, Brian Eno, Flying Lotus, Prefuse 73, Squarepusher)
Jagjaguwar (Black Mountain, Bon Iver, Julie Doiron, Lightning Dust, Okkervil River, Pink Mountaintops)
Dead Oceans (Akron / Family, Bower Birds, Dirty Projectors, Frog Eyes, Tallest Man on Earth)
Type (Black to Comm, Johann Johannsson, Svarte Greiner, Sylvain Chauveau, Yellow Swans)
Thrill Jockey (Archer Prewitt, Califone, Boredoms, Fennesz, Freakwater, Sea and Cake, Tortoise)

Of course, each label has many other artists--I just listed some of my favorites from each. If there's something not listed and it's still in print, we can get it. Hurry, though--the order will probably ship Tuesday or so.

Take it away, Nina...
