Grapefruit

NANCE, DAVID KENNETH - Actors Diary

"Grapefruit is a\r\nsubscription_Ǭ_based record club now in its third year, founded by musician Simon Joyner and Ba Da Bing Records\r\nhead Ben Goldberg to release exclusive, limited_Ǭ_edition, vinyl _Ǭ_only albums as part of an annual series, sharing\r\nidentical cover art but in different colors. Subscribers receive an LP every three months, by artists that are of some renown, or are just getting started. The only connection between each group is that Joyner and Goldberg\r\nare both fans. Only 300 copies of each release are pressed_¢‚Ǩ‚Äùand for a limited time, these LPs are now available\r\noutside a direct subscription in extremely low quantities. Goldilocked hero and Unread Records cassette veteran\r\nDavid Kenneth Nance recently stepped out of his burned_Ǭ_out basement in Omaha, Nebraska, and steeped\r\nhimself in the city of angels, provoking collective grief and inciting small riots in the hearts of Omahas house\r\nshow universe. Rocker and singer_Ǭ_songwriter from that catchy, shambolic mess called The Prairies, he also\r\nplays lead guitar and shouts in Simon Joyners band, the Ghosts. Here he is making his vinyl debut, paying debts\r\nand taking names. Recorded late at night alone in Joyners warehouse studio, Casa de los Fantasmas, over a\r\ntwo_Ǭ_month period leading up to his West Coast pilgrimage, Actors Diary confides anguish and expectation and\r\nmeditations on what was, is, and might be in the artists life. A certain Omaha sacred monster recently called\r\nNance _¢‚Ǩ_ìthe best bad guitarist hes ever heard._¢‚Ǩ¬ù Channeling Jim Shepard, heroin _Ǭ_era Stones and New Zealands\r\nnotorious Jefferies brothers through broken and poorly repaired gear, Nance rock is indeed the new pasture! - Grapefruit

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.

This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).

Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.

Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.

Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
