haha thee Nun have been pursuing a few bands who would rather remain independent (& considering that's happened to the Munt Chux, I'm not surprised).

oh and according to reliable sources, the toy love double cd IS a reality, and will be out soon with pretty much everything you could ever wish for concerning the band..

STILL the wrong JPSE video! tho "Flex" IS my favourite JPSE track*; hope the video's ok.
*the Straitjacket Fits cover of this (off Roger Sings The Hits is pretty great as well - anyone want me to gmail it to them?

It's great! And I'm very glad this is out because I was annoyed that the first DVD was missing a lot of tracks on it like, indeed, "Flex."

it was all paul reid's fault!
nah prolly not.. but simon's been making good music since though. i dug the subliminals and sleepers union, though i dunno what he's gonna do now.. last time i talked to him he mentioned the possibility of doing another band with brendan moran (the subliminals / hassellhoff experiment), and was performing with dale cotton (conray)

Flying Nun Founder Regains Control Of Label
This is pretty good news, yes?
― We should have called Suzie and Bobby (NickB), Wednesday, 23 December 2009 20:56 (fourteen years ago) link
Hopefully, yes! Apparently with full control just using Warners for distro, tho there have been other reports saying Warners have some sort of other stake in it. Should clear the way for a nice reissuing project too (hopefully we'll get some vinyl)

yes and no. the brand still has value, despite all efforts to destroy it over the last fifteen years

Great Christmas present this news. Seems weird for this to be happening with Chris Knox still out of action.
Anyone seen the reformed 3d's? Playing a few gigs in Jan/Feb and have already played the Merge show in the U.S How were they?
― Hinklepicker, Saturday, 26 December 2009 05:18 (fourteen years ago) link
Martin Phillipps has already expressed his hope that the Chills' back catalogue will now, finally, be properly reissued ...
― ithappens, Monday, 28 December 2009 21:18 (fourteen years ago) link
and if it isn't at least he can add roger shepherd to his list of mythical bogeymen that have held him back although really, roger shepherd is probably already on that list. i don't think this means much unless he knows better rocks to look under in new zealand for new and interesting artists/groups. releasing mediocre/awful end of career records by once great bands like the clean and the chills and the verlaines doesn't find me inspired.

I've always wanted to see a collection that was a box of cd-5s of all the great FN 12" EPs. Bored Games, Scorched Earth Policy, Bats, Max Block, and so on. Perfect repros in 5" cardboard sleeves. Orange, Alpaca Brothers, Children's Hour. There were a lot, of course. Don't know if that could make any money, though. Maybe they'll do vinyl now.
― Michael Train, Tuesday, 29 December 2009 02:51 (fourteen years ago) link
@NT: I've also wanted to see a collection of the early EPs (and singles, too). Sadly, though, I think that it's just too late for physical media. The most that we can probably hope for is that every single FN release (inc. Roger Sings the Hits!) will be available digitally in all territories. I just don't think there are enough paying fans out there to support the CD release of the obscure stuff. (Or even of big albums like Bird-Dog, for that matter.) I mean, 2000 copies of the FN box were pressed and it's still in print three years later. Not a good sign.
― goldwax, Friday, 1 January 2010 17:47 (fourteen years ago) link
FN box, as great as it is, is overpriced by about 50%. Nevertheless, your point is a valid one and I'm coming to terms with digital-only releases overtaking physical releases within the first few years of this decade for me.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Friday, 1 January 2010 20:24 (fourteen years ago) link
i have no problem with the idea of digital-only reissues. 4AD did something similar with their first couple of years if 45s - these are only available digitally but sound great, very cool thing for them to do
― avocado constant (electricsound), Saturday, 2 January 2010 00:17 (fourteen years ago) link
flying nun was always pretty good at reissuing or compiling things anyhow, they didn't seem to have that 'you had to be there' attitude of say Sarah Records.
― keythhtyek, Saturday, 2 January 2010 00:27 (fourteen years ago) link
First thing out supposedly a 3D's Boxset. They play quite a few shows this month in NZ. Can't wait.

So, what's going on with FN? No website, just a Twitter feed that doesn't says a lot but it doesn't make much sense to me.
