Hello friends!! It’s time for the 4th annual KEPI GHOULIE VALENTINE. In years past, we’ve always limited this to 300 and it usually sells out within a couple days. This year, we’re making 1,000 valentines to appease everyone. For those of you who don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, here’s the info: You receive a limited edition KEPI VALENTINE in a rose red envelope. The card is 5 X 10 with a beautiful full color painting by KEPI as the cover. We ship these in another envelope, so the valentine envelope is clean as a whistle. Included inside are 2 brand new love songs by KEPI titled 1.CUPID and 2.I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW. These are not CD-R’s. These are high quality factory manufactured CD’s that we have made where all of our CD’s are made.

The price is ridiculous. Just think about the crappy valentine cards they sell in stores? They charge like $5 for just a card. If you really want to impress somebody, then get this KEPI valentine now. Even with 1,000 in hand, this will sell out. We will start shipping these Next Friday JAN. 27th, so you’ll receive it in plenty of time.

These are now available at the Asian Man webstore for only $2.99! Click here to order one or seven for your loved ones today!

Wayne Stahl from the band FOR.THE.WIN has just finished a solo album that we have available in the webstore.

We also got a bunch of the LEMURIA/CHEAP GIRLS 7” on No Idea up in our webstore.  And we got the last 31 copies of the KEPI GHOULIE ART OF THE UNDERGROUND 7” series.  Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.

and then the almighty SPRAYNARD is coming out on May 10th.
The new SPRAYNARD album sounds delicious.  We’ll be posting some songs on their facebook page soon. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Spraynard/131227036929985

They’re album cover make me giggle and I just so the full layout of the LP and all I can say is GENIUS.  I’m looking forward to meeting these kids in June as they make their way out for the AM festival.

Speaking of the asian man festival, I will be getting up an information page in the next week or so, but if you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Their music is beautiful.

And finally, I hate plugging my own stuff, but I have finished my children’s album.  It’s called “SMILE” (11 songs)  I’ve tested them on my own kids (ages 4 and 2) and they have given it the thumbs up.  So look for this sometime in May or June.  I will do a limited run on vinyl just for those collector nerds.  So some thing small like 100 copies will be going out.

And that’s it folks.  Be well.  Smile big.
peace, mike park
