I’ve gotten in the bad habit of posting on Facebook but not on here. Let me summarize then. Oh before I do that, above is me hanging with my new friends Curmudgeon.

Four new stickers are ordered. Huge silver shiny ones! Crown of thorns no music note (aka godlines) design, eye gouge, American flag with TLAL no music notes, and the tofu monster appearing as a non-TLAL related sticker that says ‘Go Vegan’. So technically three new stickers for the label.

My house now has a whole room dedicated to the label. My distro is too massive to move out of my closet at the moment.

Status of releases: Magrudergrind Crusher packaging is in (poster, covers, download cards) and I think test presses are in the mail to me as of this morning. Tinnitus EP is in transit from the plant to me but cover design isn’t done yet. Curmudgeon EP is in but no covers on that just yet (those will be cool, barn door fold with obi strip!). Backslider‘s new EP is at the plant as well as the Rape Revenge EP. Suffering Mind/Protestant 6″ should be out relatively soon. Osk CD is at the plant. ACxDC EP… who knows right now, wish I had more information for you. Brian Walsby’s Manchild 6 is in the works, I’ve started layout and design of the book and we have started to scan the pages. Capitalist Casualties/NoComply repress I’m waiting on the plant, black vinyl… white vinyl… and black/white split vinyl copies! Everything else isn’t quite in motion yet.

Slowly putting together the 2012 sampler…

These are also available streaming….

For more media go on the Facebook page. TLAL also has a Google+ profile and page, both are rarely updated but that may change in the future. One other note, we do not support the PIPA/SOPA bill. Lastly, be glad, as the rumors of XBRAINIAX breaking up are untrue. Zach has left the and is now touring in a band with Dan from Lotus Fucker called Merciless Game.

One other thing to remember, small distros and mom/pop shops can get mostly all of the To Live A Lie Records catalog in from Ebullition Records. They require a $100 order but it is all wholesale prices and completely DIY run by two people. No corporations involved, just supporting DIY and small businesses.

That is about it! Things have been hectic as always. Happy 2012 a little bit late and happy late Valentines Day.

Sergio Amalfitano, of ACxDC fame, recently had the joy of having twin girls. Unfortunately Savina needs to have open heart surgery. ACxDC has put together a slew of excellent benefit shirts as well as anything bought on ACxDC.bandcamp.com or any direct money Paypaled to sergioamalfitano@yahoo.com would help their family out immensely. I have had the pleasure of meeting Sergio and talking to him a lot then and from across the US, and he is a genuine and giving guy and wouldn’t ask for anything from anyone else if he didn’t need it. DIY is about community, and Sergio puts a lot into it… between being in ACxDC, ¡Liberate!, having been in AAS, doing a photo zine, taking amazing show photos, being dedicated to XVX, and even spinning some records as a DJ. In addition to that he is now a proud dad! So get some killer shirts and tunes if you want, send cash if you can, or just keep your fingers crossed for this hard working man!
