This is the first edition of a semi-regular segment here on the Great Pumpkin called: This Week In Mail Order.  I have done a couple posts that could have fallen under this category, but this is the first official post.  It might not happen every week (and sometimes more than once a week), but I’ll keep you updated on some limited edition items that might not be around for long.

I took the hint from Catbird Seat (I probably should have listened to Jason a couple weeks earlier), and placed my pre-order earlier this week for the new Kurt Vile 12″, God Is Saying This To You, that is coming out on Mexican Summer (supposedly next week).

If you didn’t already know Kurt Vile is one of the memebers of The War on Drugs, and Mexican Summer is limited edition subscription only record label (with some distribution to select retailers and online shops).

God Is Saying This To You is going to pressed in a limited edition of 500 LPs (take your chances with a pre-order at Amazon or Insound…this one might be sold out before it gets released).

Actually don’t take your chances…order it direct from Mexican Summer off of their myspace (look for the PayPal logo under the record!)

Kurt Vile’s song “Freeway” has been floating around the internet non-stop it seems, and rightfully so.  You got to love the psychedelic pop, and Kurt Vile does it so well…and on that note I’ll post a link to it:

In other Kurt Vile vinyl news Constant Hitmaker will see it’s debut release on LP by Brooklyn’s beloved Woodsist records sometime this year…as well as the Fall Demons 7″ on Skulltones, and The Hunchback EP coming out on Testostertunes (it looks like a pre-order is up for this one as well…they might have some limited cd-rs too).
