Support Dublab with Empty Cellar Flashpacks
Stretching through genres with the malleable medium of radio, dublab is a nonprofit web radio station that couldn’t operate without you, its listeners. With 12 years of inventive and continuous programming, the world’s best eclectic djs are devoted to engagement with an expansive range of sounds. Currently in the final legs of its Spring 2011 donation-based fundraiser, Turning on Tomorrow Proton Drive, dublab is just now wrapping up a 24 Hour “No Sleep Session”, an insomniac marathon of notable DJs and artists spinning. Another way to help out is by purchasing flashpacks, a prize bundle of albums for a great price. Empty Cellar Records is offering two sets of these flashpacks spanning our entire discography – you don’t want to miss out!

Pillars and Tongues also recorded a stellar live session for dublab last year – check it out here !
Pillars and Tongues on tour!
Pillars and Tongues hit the road tomorrow to tour the US South, Midwest, and East Coast. (Details Here.) Pillars and Tongues are a remarkable experience live. The lush soulful dreamscapes charted in their performaces, each a fluid braid of improvised and composed lyrical forms, are for many a truly rewarding aural and spiritual experience. The band’s new album, The Pass and Crossings, will be out June 28 via our very own Empty Cellar Records (more soon!).
Get ready for the Show! Listen to Pillars and Tongues live recordings:

Record Store Day! Record Store Day! Record Store Day!
“There’s nothing as glamorous to me as a record store. When I recently played Amoeba in LA, I realised what fantastic memories such a collection of music brings back when you see it all in one place. This is why I’m more than happy to support Record Store Day and I hope that these kinds of stores will be there for us all for many years to come. Cheers!”
– Paul McCartney
“Folks who work here are professors. Don’t replace all the knowers with guessors keep’em open they’re the ears of the town”
– Tom Waits
I spent last week in Mexico City for a cousin’s wedding. I was there with my sister and Frosty from Dublab. We stopped every time we saw a street vendor with a pile of records, hoping to find a long sought-after classic cumbia or nueva canción LP. I felt like one of the dudes at Sublime Frequencies looking for some long-forgotten or geographically isolated musical genius. The morning I left, they were headed to an outdoor market – guided by their local DJ friend – that is a well kept secret amongst record collectors. The last hold-out for used vinyl in Mexico City… a fast-disappearing land of ultimate scores. After that, I have to say that I am incredibly grateful for all of the amazing record stores left in San Francisco and the good ole USofA.
The sad truth is that american record stores are fast-disappearing too. So tomorrow (Record Store Day), or the next day, or whenever… make your way to your local record store and dig, dig, dig and find yourself some long-forgotten genius or pick up a copy of whatever album you are currently digging online. Forget that it is record store day, because any day can be record store day.
