A snippet from their last MySpace bulletin:
Quote: The CD and LP will be available exclusively at Hot Topic for the first few months of release, and then will go out to the mom and pops. Hot Topic, you ask? I said it. They have been incredibly supportive these past few years, stocking our records and shirts in all of their stores. Jawbreaker swag doesn't make it into a lot of national chains, so I'm happy that it's out there where kids can get to it. They recently added Etc. (the b-sides, singles and out-takes compilation with Kiss the Bottle). So if you happen to live out in the boonies, or your indie store just bit the dust of the download revolution, and you still like having something in your hands to peruse-- they carry our stuff. And while you're at the mall, why not visit Starbucks for a refreshing caffeinated beverage, and perhaps pick up a pair of pleated khaki slacks at the Gap? Ah, that's better...

Yes, sadly that's the way things are becoming now.

I didn't know a band could sell out post-mortem.
Wait, The Misfits..... |

I'm a bit indifferent. My only beef is the exclusivity for a couple months.
I wish wal-mart would have offered more.

I am out of touch. What is coming out? Is this "etc" thing new, or are they talking about some other CD & LP?
Sorry I don't know enough about Jawbreaker.

Got news for you kiddies, Hot Topic sells releases by both No Idea and Sabot. Fairly certain that you could get a D4 CD there too.

my only beef is the initial exclusive rights to Hot Topic.
New update today has Adam saying that they are NOT giving exclusive rights to Hot Topic which is the only problem I had with this. Now that that's changed I'm a happy camper. Quote: Correction: I said in the previous post that Unfun would first be available at Hot Topic before going out to the mom and pop stores. This is not the case. Unfun will be released to ALL retail stores at the same time, fair and square. Hot Topic will carry it—they have our other stuff, which is great if you don’t have a mom and pop around and still like to have something in your hand to peruse.
Or you can order it through midheaven. com…

The last time I was in a Hot Topic, which was a little over a year ago if I remember correctly (and the cause of great headaches because there were about seven "PUNKRAWK!" girls in there talking to local celebrity and ex-Kill The Slave Master dude, Andy Hurly, Fall Out Boy drummer extrordinaire!) they had D4 CDs. I remember almost buying a copy of Situationist, but didn't...and still haven't. I need to get on that... I also remember seeing copies of Etc. and the Dear You re-issue. |

I used to run into him all the time, cause we bought our comics at the same shop until the same chain opened a store closer to my house... |
