Shameless self-plug, but still a download or two

The band I play guitar/sing sometimes in, Whimper Warrior, has just recorded and released our first EP. Basically, we recorded it ourselves in a studio during the graveyard shift on borrowed time, abused printing privileges at a job or two to create the artwork (stole a 19th century painting for the cover art as well) and 'pressed' the CD with a burner working on overtime and some spray paint for the artwork. It's what I like to call the 'lazy independent.' We're thinking $2 a copy since we put a lot of sweat into this shit, plus it's half an hour long (even with just 5 songs.) Here's an idea of what's to be expected. It's a track called "Sandbox," and it's brought to you in high-quality .wav format.

This week's edition of Obscuro! will feature 'electronic pioneers.' This includes early synthesizer-based musicians, rock bands with electronic leanings, and a whole lot of fucked-up noise. It will be volume 2 in a genre-series I'm doing, which started with last week's "Incredibly Strange Metal, Basement Funk and Hard Rock Oddities." Dunno how long this'll last for...probably til I get bored and start doing something else. So, enjoy for the moment. Or don't. But, you can always check out the Obscuro! back catalog.

Downloaded this from the Homemade Lofi Psychedelic blog & liked it a lot. How do I go about getting a 'proper' copy sent to me in the UK?
