PO: Death Cab For Cutie’s Transatlanticism (2xLP)

Death Cab For Cutie – Transatlanticism

After being out of print forever and nearly impossible to find, we were able to score a few copies of the German import version that should be here next week. 2 records, each pressed on 180 gram vinyl. I know the price is steep but it sure beats playing $75-$100 on eBay. 🙂

PO: Alkaline Trio’s This Addicition (Vinyl)

Alkaline Trio – This Addiction (Vinyl)

This went live last week but haven’t had a chance to announce it on the front page. The new album from punk stalwarts, Alkaline Trio, hits stores on February 23rd via Epitaph Records and their own Heart & Skull Records and is supposed to be a classic skate punk album, back to old sound, yada, yada, yada. I don’t give a shit what style of music this album is as long as it is new Alkaline Trio music. 🙂

Sure, a lot of their splendor comes from the older albums but you won’t find anyone over at Nerd Alert Records embarrassed to know the words to all the songs off the past couple albums. Fucking love this band and cannot wait to hear this album. 🙂

Vinyl includes a MP3 download card for the album (this does not include the bonus tracks from the deluxe CD/DVD set though).

PO: Dear Hunter’s Act III: Life & Death (2xLP, White Vinyl)

Dear Hunter – Act III Life and Death

I know a lot of people are looking forward to the next release from The Dear Hunter and Nerd Alert Records has got your pre-ordering needs met! Being released as a double LP on white vinyl, Triple Crown Records (the same peeps in charge of the Brand New Devil and God… vinyl pressing coming out next year) sounds pretty happy with how this one turned out.

Triple Crown says:

“Set in a WWI era, Act III… sets its own course with no direct historical ties, only a loyalty to the emotions of the human spirit, documenting the metamorphoses of a fictional central character as he makes the transition from innocence to impurity. With a great deal of care given to marrying all aspects of an album, ACT III… follows these themes within the context of lyrics, music, and tonality.”

Should be shipping in mid-late December.

PO: Motion City Soundtrack’s My Dinosaur Life (Vinyl, CD)

Motion City Soundtrack – My Dinosaur Life – Vinyl
Motion City Soundtrack – My Dinosaur Life – CD

Now taking pre-orders on what will almost certainly be one of 2010’s biggest hits, the new album from Motion City Soundtrack, entitled My Dinosaur Life. We here at Nerd Alert are big fans of MCS, so any new music from them automatically is must hear. I have heard lots of good things about this album as well, so we are pumped.

Expected to come out mid-January!

PO: Dire Straits’ Dire Straits (180 gram reissue)

180 gram vinyl reissue of Dire Straits’ self-titled album. Um…yep. 🙂 Pretty plain jane reissue.

Set to drop mid-December 2009.

PO: Exploited’s Punk’s Not Dead (Red Vinyl)

Exploited, The – Punk’s Not Dead

Drastic Plastic Records has been working on quite a few classic punk vinyl reissues and this is another one to add to the growing reason punkers old and new can’t keep their wallets fat.

Don’t have much info on the release other than this one sentence, but I think it does the trick: “Faithful reproduction of their 1981 debut album, limited to 1000 copies on red vinyl.”

Currently set to come out February 2010.

Update on Rage Against the Machine & Alice in Chains pre-orders

I got an email on Monday letting us know our copies of the Music on Vinyl Records’ reissues of the first two Rage albums and AiC’s Dirt have arrived at the distributor and are waiting their arrival to the Nerd Alert HQ. We should have those in hands by the weekend and ready to go no later than the upcoming Monday. An email with tracking information (tracking info U.S. orders only) will go out when we ship these so you’ll know when to look for your records.

Thanks to everyone who made our Black Friday Sale a huge hit! 🙂
