Two New Origin68 Stockists.

The first one is very exciting...... If you happen to find yourself in Sheffield and you're somewhere near The Foum then be sure to pop into TOAST. Here you will find a new selection of origin68 wares hung from the shelves. Rich (the owner) has himself a tasty little shop and stocks great labels such as Concrete Hermit, Linty Fresh and Drop Dead. It's great for us to be sat alongside those types of labels, that's where we want to be. Hopefully the people of Sheffield will appreciate them. Not long now till you can find origin68 in every city throughout the world! So the rest of you will have to sit tight a little longer.

The second stockist is the online store LIMTEES. We have had Consume on the limitees site before but this time they came back for Higher Than The Sun.

All in all it's loooking rosy in the origin68 garden. Here's hoping it's just the begginning.

XOX Shirt on Myspace Front Page

The XOX shirt is currently rocking the front page of Myspace thanks to the Same Teens getting their page featured. I believe they will be on there everytime a new issue of their fanzine comes out. It's pretty mental seeing our image up there on the front page. We captured a screen grab just so we can prove it.

Tim Burgess in XOX Shirt!

So imagine our surprise when we recieve pictures of The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess wearing one of our XOX shirts. Tim was in Manchester last week Dj'ing at Moho Live and sported our XOX shirt throughout his set. We struggled to contain ourselves. We should give credit to the Same Teens & XOX posse for getting the snaps. Anyway here's a couple of pics so you can see for yourselves.

Dark Was The Night

I thought I would blog about this record because it's for a great cause but mainly cause it's a kick ass record. It benefits the Red Hot Organization – an international charity dedicated to raising money and awareness for HIV and AIDS through popular culture.

It features a tonne of awesome artists such as Arcade Fire, Iron & Wine, The National, Feist, Bon Iver, David Byrne, MMJ, Beirut, Sufjan Stevens etc etc. It's pretty much a who's who's of alternative music.
