I know a lot of you are forced into unsafe work environments and are faced with depression head on and I really have so much love and respect for all of you. Anyone with the virus and any other disease right now I have the same love and wish you all speedy recoveries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been lucky over on my side of the world. I am privileged that I get to work remotely at my day job and my family and friends are generally healthy and I hope all remain that way. My boss at work has left so I have some more responsibility than normal but my band, shows, and a lot of other things on life are on hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also the label is doing amazingly. Major respect for all your orders. I&#8217;ve been shipping fifty to a hundred orders every Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year I finished up my archiving project so head over to Archive.org and grab the new vaults &#8211; \n<br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/download\/TLALVault01\/volone.jpg\" width=\"300\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/TLALVault01\">https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/TLALVault01<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay on to the more fun stuff. Lots of pre-orders this summer and a lot of them have shipped &#8211; <strong>Water Torture<\/strong> shirts sold through and I made new ones and did a preorder and shipped those (unless held with other preorder items), <strong>ACxDC <\/strong>&#8211; The Oracles Of Death collection LPs have shipped, and <strong>Peace Test<\/strong> EPs have shipped on out. <strong>Livid<\/strong> LPS shipped out as well. I also did 25 grab bags that were totally loaded out to get some overstock out of the HQ and were really a great deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 50%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1255667691\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 50%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=284116511\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>New in hand now are both the <strong>Shitstormtrooper <\/strong>EP and the <strong>Sidetracked<\/strong>\/<strong>The Seeker<\/strong> split EP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 50%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1858738789\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 50%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1334205310\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Spy tapes (which sold out in two hours) are shipping out this coming Saturday. Good news on the Spy release, Service Weapon will be pressed to vinyl!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 50%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=207427095\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Last, the four way 2&#215;7&#8243; I have coreleased overseas apparently is shipping to the European label which means the copies will come to me from overseas, then I&#8217;ll ship to all USA co-releasers and bands, and then will ship pre-orders out! Sorry for the wait on those!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we have a lot out but a lot on deck. At the plant are: <strong>Needle <\/strong>EP (but out VERY SOON), following that is the live <strong>Capitalist Casualties<\/strong> CS (from a live video I recorded in 2011, RIP Shawn), then the <strong>Fuck On The Beach\/Endless Swarm<\/strong> split is hot on it&#8217;s heals, followed shortly by the new <strong>Gasp <\/strong>EP. Headed to the plant is a very special <strong>Bastard Noise<\/strong> split LP that will be fully announced soon. The TLAL200 covers comp is still in the works but almost ready<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last bit of news is just sort of a quick teaser&#8230; but TLAL will be taking on the major shipping operations of a very inspiration label and I cannot be happier to announce that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more more bit of news, I took the time and upgraded the TLAL site to run on HTTPS\/SSL, so please check that the GoDaddy cert is in place and you see the encrypted lock by the URL and shop with total safety. Vaguely related to that I also learned to query the Zencart DB and import it into Facebook Commerce which sounds really boring but it means I can now tag and link products in Instagram and Facebook posts. I know that sounds boring because you&#8217;ve seen that before but most people pay for a certain expensive monthly cart software but TLAL is running on free open source software and I actually put my SQL code on Github to keep my work to make free things better for other people! Last piece of nerdy news is I have also allowed image linking from the TLAL page to Facebook and Twitter. Why do I not allow image linking you ask? I have a great host who keeps my site a low price so I do them a solid and try not to use too much bandwidth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is what is new here! Sorry for any slowness in responding to any of you, my day job work life is hectic and orders are pretty stacked up (luckily I&#8217;m shipping everything as fast as I can), and I&#8217;m still doing all my normal QA on new releases. I hope everyone stays safe. Anyone dealing with some tough situations please look to a friend in the punk community and don&#8217;t go through it alone. I wish you all the best and I&#8217;ll see most of you in your mailboxes via a freshly delivered order!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a wild ride for everyone this year.
