its out now and it rules. on first listen I was able to pick out a ton of highlights. kinda blends the approach of the first two I think - lots of forward thinking stuff here but not in the "is this even City Pop" way you get on the first one. also the record sounds insanely good. gotta say LitA restores my faith in great sounding and clean vinyl. it is possible after all.

In an industry of absolute shit and constant disappointment I increasingly believe that it's important to acknowledge the few people and labels doing commendable work.
About a week ago, LITA had some big warehouse cleaning sale, and I impulse bought a few things, including the big Lee Hazlewood CD box. It was such a steal at $30, I actually thought it might have been a pricing glitch, and almost expected the order to get canceled. I didn't even know whether it was the deluxe version or the regular version (the website wasn't very clear about this), but given the very, very low price for this incredible multi-disc box with a flexi disc and book, I would have been happy either way.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised that it turned out to be the deluxe box. At that price, which is over $70 less than the lowest priced copy on Discogs at the moment, I probably would have been OK if they'd just sent the damn thing in a pizza box. Instead, they sent it separate from the other records I ordered, and packaged it like it was a set of crystal champagne flutes. They included those little cardboard corner thingies to avoid dents, secured it in bubble wrap, and shipped it in a big, heavy box with cardboard fillers. The package probably could have survived a toss over an overpass.
I'm not even a big stickler about cosmetic damage and corner bends and stuff, but I really appreciated the care they put into shipping something that probably doesn't even cover their manufacturing costs, especially when I regularly receive exorbitantly priced LPs from overseas that are sent in what is little more than a manilla envelope. Anyway, just wanted to give LITA some props.
Don't know if they are still running the sale, but if they are, it's worth a look!

same. with tespattern included, maybe that means their album will finally receive a reissue?

the instrumental for “beat the rap” is extremely dope, I made a vaporwave-y edit of it years ago

On a LITA tip, I dug the recent Emerson brothers biopic. Never really thought about what really happens when a long-forgotten and completely ignored record gets discovered and feted by hipsters some 30 years later.

oh that’s great, the stuff of hers I’ve heard on various YEN/Alfa comps is marvelous
