• NEW METAL SALE PROGRAM KICKS OFF WITH $6.66 ZOROASTER

Look, metal rules, okay? Yeah, some of it is dumb, some of it is lame, but a lot of it kicks major ass. Even hipster turds keep a couple of metal bands in their back pocket for when some sad bastard band like Belle and Sebastian just ain’t feelin’ right.

This week, ThinkIndie is launching a new metal sale program, which will give you great deals on great new metal bands on a regular basis. First up is psych-metal stalwarts Zoroaster‘s sophomore album Matador for the great devilish price of $6.66. And it has great metal song titles like “Ancient Ones,” “Old World,” “Odyssey II,” and our personal favorite, “Trident” (and no, they’re not talking gum here; an actual freaking three-pronged, evil-doin’ trident).

Want to hear it first? Listen to a full album stream HERE. Want to thank us? Simply throw your devil horns in the air. We’ll feel them no matter where you are.

• LABEL SPOTLIGHT: PARK THE VAN

Started in 2004 and formed on the idea of liking a band, Park the Van represents everything good about the music business. By loving what they release, and having a clear vision and style, it made it easy for music fans and record store clerks to talk up this new label.

Park the Van has a new series of releases from bands they think need your attention. The series is called Delicacies, and we have a few choice titles on sale, including early Dr. Dog albums. We have also added some of their classic label catalog to fill out the page. Dig in; it’s delicious.

BLAKROC EXCLUSIVE AT THE RX: COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION

BlakRoc. By now you should be well aware of this Black Keys/hip-hop collabo, as it’s a store favorite and has been a regular feature on eTales pretty much every week since its release.

Now we’re here to tell you that our exclusive version, the only version on the planet with the Ludacris/ODB track “Coochie,” is on the verge of selling out. As of Aug. 10, we have 8 copies on CD and 1 on vinyl.

Translation: Get it while you still can. Those numbers are all that remains of our allotment of the coveted first pressing, which is exclusive to indie music stores, limited in number and no longer available for reorder. That means that once our stock is gone, it’s gone for good. No one else, not even iTunes, has this version, and “Coochie” won’t be included on subsequent pressings of the album.

Snooze or lose, sucka.
