RX Bandits Live At Park Ave CD:
Recorded on July 20th, 2009 at the renowned independent record store Park Ave CDs in Orlando Florida, RX Bandits Live At Park Ave showcases stripped-down acoustic versions of the band's most eminent songs. The in-store performance was recorded on the eve of the release of their latest album, Mandala, and finds RX Bandits exploring a more delicate side to the dynamic and powerful rock they've become synonymous with since their inception in 1999. In celebration of this special event and the culture created by independent music stores, RX Bandits Live At Park Ave will be released exclusively to indie retailers as part of Record Store Day 2010.

Omar Rodriguez Lopez  Solar Gambling vinyl LP:
A companion album, of sorts, to the recent Xenophanes full-length, Solar Gambling is the latest studio recording from Omar Rodriguez Lopez, an energetic collection of soaring, emotional compositions, tightly wound around the skills of some of the most accomplished players in contemporary rock. Recorded in Zapopan, Mexico, the album features nine tracks, some of which were debuted live during the Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group’s Spring 2009 European tour and were at that time unknown to fans of Rodriguez’s extensive solo output. A handful of the songs were performed and broadcast live on the BBC while the band were in London, but have been unavailable commercially until now.  Solar Gambling is rampant with surrealist themes and topics primarily concerning spirituality. Inspired by the Spanish-Mexican surrealist painter, Remedios Varo Uranga, the album is, according to Rodriguez Lopez, a tribute to the spirit of her work.
