Vinyl record expert, Jason Gelt, wrote a nice piece on The Satelliters and the limited color vinyl repressing of their latest album “Where Do We Go.“ Click the link to see the web page and his other writings or read here. Thanks Jason!

The two contest winners are

Dio Deltoro and Gene Woodlock

These lucky people get to sit in on the record cutting session for the Kava Kon album at History of Recorded Sound, recieve a copy of the “Tiki for The Atomic Age” upon release and also win two vinyl records from the Dionysus Records back catalog!

Mike Smitreski of the band The Creatures of the Golden Dawn passed away this week at the age of 52. Dionysus had the pleasure of releasing their music on a 7″ EP and CD back in the early ’90s.

His fan and former collaborator Sandra McCarthy was kind enough to share a few words with us.

“I collaborated with Mike on his Shadestream solo projects, “Dream” and
“The Sky Is Falling” and he worked on several of my songs.

It was amazing that we got any work done, because most of our time was filled with laughter. What a lovely memory to hold on to.

He and I never met in person, but he was always in contact to reach out
to share a concern, a daily tidbit, a proud moment, political views, or
just a dream.

All of his thoughts were embraced with humor and he wanted his friends to be part of that ride. I’m proud to be in that circle.

Mike was a star-gazer here on Earth, but he is now part of the celestial
sky. I am sad for his family, friends and myself for our loss, but happy
for Mike that he is now part of the sun, moon and stars that he held in
such awe.

Several of our emails and phone conversations ended with a personal
joke, “I do, I really do!”

The memory will now be bittersweet, because Mike, I do miss you. I
really do.”

-Sandra McCarthy-

Do you love vinyl records? Would you like to sit in on a record cutting/mastering session?

Dionysus Records is throwing a contest for all our friends on Myspace, Tiki Central and the Dionysus Records website.

On Thursday, December 4, 2008, we will be cutting the vinyl master for the new Kava Kon “Tiki for the Atomic Age” album, to be released on Dionysus Records in January of 2009.

Two winners will be invited to the session that will take place at the History of Recorded Sound studio in Culver City, this Thursday, December 4, at 8:00 pm. Winners will also receive a copy of Kava Kon’s “Tiki For The Atomic Age” upon release, as well as two titles (of our choice) from the Dionysus Records/Bacchus Archives catalog. Winners are also invited to come to Saints & Sinners in Palms (not too far from the studio) right after the session for DJ Lee’s Satanic Swingers Lounge where he will buy each winner a drink!

How to enter?

Simple. Send an email, with your phone number to dionysusvinyl@gmail.com

On Wednesday, December 2, at 1 PM, we will print out your emails and our wonderful assistant Kristen will draw two winners. We will contact the winners directly and announce them on the Dionysus Website and Myspace.

And if you haven’t, check out all the vinyl goodies on www.dionysusrecords.com. Mention “Kava Kon” and we will give you 10% off your order (before shipping) through December 31 (Paypal only, we will refund the 10% to your account after your order has been paid and processed.)
