Our New Blog and Sam Billen Removers Part 1

So as many of you might have seen we added a tumblr blog. We did it for a few reasons 1) I love the service and I think it is great way for posting more content and more regular content 2) It will hopefully give you some more insight into who TRM is and give you in sight to what we like and why. 3) This year we are creating so much new media we wanted a place to put it that didn’t clearly clutter up the news that you may want to get on a regular basis. So if your someone that is looking for daily content we will have more updates for you over on the blog. For someone that is looking for just the good stuff new release news, tour news, $2.00 albums and other offers keep yours right where they are and we will still have plenty of news on a weekly basis.

As you might have seen on the blog yesterday we released Part 1 to Sam Billen’s Removers album. It is the first 4 songs collected all into one handy place. So if you haven’t already gotten all of them we have a few different ways you can get your hands on these songs:

Lawrence.com podcast with Sam Billen

Sam Billen did a podcast for his hometown Lawrence.com about the release of his new record Headphones and Cellphones that comes out next week. He also seems to mention his love of Surge a few times. They played the entire new record but more like a dvd commentary with an interview over the top of it.

Also Sam’s CD Listening & CD Release Party is on Friday at the Wonderfair Art Gallery. Be prepared for Piñata’s and pretzels.
