Holiday Gift Ideas

I'm gonna speak candidly for a bit in this newsletter (ha! as if I am ever not writing every newsletter like a personal letter to a friend or some shit... ANYWAY!)

I hate holidays... all of them, even my birthday most years. BUT some people who are close stressed to me recently that I should take holidays more seriously and as a "business" I could/should use this holiday season to try and boost sales or something. So this newsletter is going to be all about my Related Records holiday gift suggestions.

And the reason this email is going out when it is, is because if you want to ensure you get something before "the holiday" you need to place your order before I go to the post office next on December 5th.

THE FUNNY UNCLES "I've Been Drugged" T-SHIRT
​

This shirt comes in gold or white and features a large screen printed illustration from John-Ross Boyce from the Funny Uncles album "Writin' Songs" it includes a sticker with the same image/message and a download code for all 180 songs+jingles on the "Writin Songs" album
​
The other reason this is such a fantastic gift is because the sizing is inclusive of all adult bodies ranging from Small-6XL 
​(while supplies last)

BUY 1 GET 3 SALE!

I've done this before and people seem to enjoy it! So for the rest of the year 2021 I am offering these 3 different sales, which is a fantastic way to find out about new music or introduce someone else to some cool new music. OR maybe you have a loved one who just got a record, cassette and/or CD player and you want to give them a cool boost for their brand new collection!
​
Or maybe you have that one super weird friend that has an 8-track player and you want to surprise them with a new (as in made in 2015) 8-track! Check out this hidden/under rated gem. VARIOUS ARTISTS "Dick" 8-TRACK

MOOEY MOOBAU "LIVE BLOODY LIVE" CD

JACOB SMIGEL "The Carol Tapes" Cassette

I feel like the distro​ page is overlooked a lot and there is a ton of great stuff in there.
​
Maybe there is only 1-2 artists on Related Records that you like, when was the last time you checked out their artist page to see if maybe I have added something related to them for sale? The artists that have the most items to choose from are

Dinosaur Love

Fathers Day

Hi My Name Is Ryan

Human Behavior

Turqouiz Noiz / Sweat Lodge

Treasure Mammal / Taurus Daddies

Maybe you wanna get something for someone who is a loving/caring human being and they don't care so much about material things? Here are some items that Related Records has to offer that benefit other people/groups.
​
The HEAT IS MURDER t-shirt is $15.99 and all of that goes towards mutual aid supplies for the people of phoenix.It's available in Small-3XL

The "I Hope This Helps" mixtape is $20 and all $20 goes to unshelteredphx which is a mutual aid group that is working to decriminalize homelessness and provide supplies for our houseless neighbors in Phoenix, AZ.

The mix tape is compiled of punk music that has helped me throughout my life.

If you show me you have donated $20 or more to this group I will send this mix tape to you as well.

Only 5 left by the way.

This "Barnard Sanders is the 46th President of the United States of America"​ sticker is $5 and all the money gets venmoed to Black and Indigenous People.

The story behind this sticker is like an inside joke gone wild. From summer 2020-summer 2021 I had a website where I sold these stickers called 46thpresident.shop.
​
Anyway, I still have a ton of these, so I include them in orders, but continue to send Black and Indigenous people money monthly on Venmo.

Did you know that there is a "Send as a Gift" feature on bandcamp? Well there is, and it's great! i've used it a handful of times to send friends a single or an album that I think they would like and tomorrow (12/03/2021) is the last Bandcamp Friday of the year and possibly ever. on Bandcamp Friday, bandcamp waves all of their fees and gives 100% of the money to the artists. It rules, and it has really helped a lot of artists get through the last 2 years because so many governments all over the world have done such a shit job of taking care of their citizens during the pandemic (Which is still a thing by the way, what the fuck?!) Anyway, I pay out the artists on Related Records twice a year for digital sales and the next time I pay everyone is coming up later this month, so if you already own something digitally, this is a great way to support your favorite artists and get them some money this month. ​
Anyway, here is what people are listening to on the RR bandcamp

A NEW RELEASE!!!

Picture
So excited to announce the next release on Related Records! A cassette tape of music (mostly covers) by Jay Shingle

If you are unfamiliar with Jays work, he is a comedian (very awkward sort of anti-comedy) and a writer. He runs the @ordinarypeoplememes Instagram account and writes for @realoregano and @thehardtimesnews

I’ve been following him for just over a year now and noticed him doing these really great, funny, lofi covers on his Instagram stories. I shared one of the videos and said “I would love to see these covers on a tape” and jay did not hesitate to DM and be like “let’s do this!” So it’s finally coming together and will be released in August.

Check out the first single a cover of Pavement’s “range life”. Something that @jamesfella says “is completely nuts” LISTEN HERE!

I FINALLY GOT MY COMPUTER BACK!!! So I am finally able to make these mix tapes for people who donate $20 or more to unshelteredphx. They are a mutual aid organization who is helping our houseless neighbors in Arizona this summer. They have a goal of buying 1,000 water coolers for this marginalized group and continually does drives for tents, tarps, first aid and other supplies regularly. So far we have raised almost $300! I still have about a dozen tapes left. Donate $20+ to unshelteredphx and show me the receipt and I will send you a 40+ minute mix tape of inspiring punk music that has helped and inspired me throughout my life.
