New Signing; Release Schedule Revisions
We think it was Sonic Youth who said "They can't catch you with me 'cause I move too slow." So
yeah, we're not exactly sending aural ammunition out like we had hoped, but we're still working
on it (even if only at a snail's pace). We've got good news, though! Next Best Records is
pleased to announce to no one in particular that a new Columbus band, Fourth Street Only, will
be recording an EP soon, and that it will probably be the label's first release (leapfrogging the
Lee Wadlinger and Knights releases). More info on Fourth Street only and their yet-to-be-titled
EP will be forthcoming (catch the pun there?). Anyways, here's a revision of what we've got
coming up:
As always, for more info, check out the New and Upcoming Releases page.
And if you're really bored, old news (and we mean old) is now available at the Old News page.

The Next Best Records Online Store Is Now Online!
We've finally set up the NBR Online Store. Check it out. Here's a quick rundown of the items available
for sale:
for sale:
- The Pesotum/Lee Wadlinger split 7" vinyl single from 1997. It's hard to be believe that this is
10 years old already. Released on the now-defunct Eclectic Citrus Bowls label, the single features
three songs by each artist. Available for $3.50 (just a 50 cent markup from the 1997 price!).
- Lee Wadlinger Magic Ball Hunt cassette EP. Also released on Eclectic Citrus Bowls (this goes
back to '96 ). Lee says he's never going to let any more copies of Wondering Boy Poet see the
light of day, so this EP likely represents the earliest recordings of his that you'll ever be able to get
your hands on. Basically, Magic Ball Hunt is his take on Devil Between My Toes-era Guided By
Voices filtered through a mid-90's suburban Cleveland sensibility. $3.
- I Am Shorter Than You Are Taller Than Am I and Selling Off The Bees, two compilations
featuring a ton of great bands (and Mr. Wadlinger). We found a few copies of each of these in a
couple of old boxes--once they're gone, they're gone. (The I Am Shorter comp is also available
directly from Kelp Records. We haven't been able to find Bees elsewhere, but here's a review, and
we also advise you to check out the Bombco site if interested.) Each is available here for $12.
- Knights of Infinite Resignation T-shirts. They're finally available. Check out the pictures in the
store. $15.

New Knights Single Due Next Month
July 24 will see the release of the first single by the Knights of Infinite Resignation. Entitled "Paris Hilton &
Captain Beefheart," the A-side showcases the band's "lighter" side while exploring the interplay between
low and high culture, Converse sneakers, and Krautrock.
Two B-sides (or, as the band likes to call them, a B-Side and a C-Side), round out the record, which will
be released on CD as well as through every digital music store known to man.
