Leave Your Home and Visit A Record Store

The best way to acquire our CDs is to patronize one of your local retailers. This is both good for your local community and it also gives you the thrill of instant gratification (which is opposed to the sweet agony of waiting by your mailbox until your little package arrives). If you’re in doubt, many leading stores DO have our stuff in stock accross our lovely nation, Scratch Records in Vancouver, Blackbyrd Myoozik in Edmonton, Rotate This! and Soundscapes in Toronto along with countless other fine establishments all carry our stuff. We strongly recommend getting out of the house and checking these places out if you live anywhere near them. Going to record stores also produces many other valuable effects, among them: you get some excercise, learn more about music and can strike up fun and cheerful conversation with the clever and witty staff of these establishments. Get out there Tiger and MAKE SOME FRIENDS!!!

IF YOU ARE A RECORD STORE OR DISTRO

Contact Ben Stimpson at distro@blocksblocksblocks.com

He can set up direct orders, new accounts, or put you in touch with our regular distros like Scratch, Sonic Unyion, and FAB.

Mail order direct from us

Most direct mail order goes directly through our shop at the Blue House. The Blue House is a great place to get things from all kinds of not just Torontonian but also International musicians, artists and craftspeople. It’s a completely worthwhile place to look around for stuff and we recommend it highly. NB This is a paypal only method. For all other methods, scroll down to the next section.

Ordering Canada and USA

For Canada the blocks section at Sonic Unyon records!

For USA, Scratch Records Distro has a US funds order page. You don’t even have to do the conversion math!

(and again, if your’re a store or distro, Sonic Unyon, Scratch and FAB carry most of our releases. You can also buy direct from us)

Digital Downloading For Money

Hey, so although we can’t really understand the rationale behind not buying whole physical CDs and not not paying for downloaded music from some kind of P2P file-sharing thing you can now pay to download some (soon all) of our records online! The nice guy from the Inbreds opened a webstore for digital downloads and he is a very nice guy. This: is our page on his website: Zunior. More stuff will be added soon! We are very stoked that Dave has also taken a strong stand against DRM and is also using lossless FLAC files. This is seriously good news, and also one of the reasons why we’ve consistently refused to put our music on iTunes (they asked us and we said no). Read this article in the ever-reliable Wikipedia about DRM and associated issues. Alternatively, read this children’s book about why DRM is a bad idea.
