November's album of the month selection is a no-brainer: of course I'm going to pick the soon-to-be-released Hello Saferide LP that I'm putting out. The vinyl is due to arrive on Friday, so order now and you might even get it by Monday. How awesome would that be? Also, be sure to note that I'm also taking preorders for the super awesome Razzia Christmas comp "Oh no... it's Christmas!". Featuring brand new songs from the likes of Hello Saferide and Firefox AK with Tiger Lou as well as old holiday chestnuts from The Soundtrack of Our Lives and more! You know you need it! That's not all either - I've also got the new retrospective CD from Danish post-punk act De Må Være Belgiere as well as that new-fangled "Svenskt" compilation. What are you waiting for? Get shopping!
