The folks at the USPS claim that orders can be received by Christmas so long as they are sent out today by first class or by Wednesday, December 20th by Priority Mail so long as you live in the United States. Don’t wait another day though as you just never know with the postal service. I recommend making all orders go out by Priority Mail to ensure you get the package on time.

And if you wait a few days to place your order, we recommend getting a Gift Certificate. Gift Certificates will be emailed back to you the same day that you place your order. You can print out the GC and still have a great Xmas gift.

We are stoked to share with you the latest in Band submitted Mix CD club Mix CDs. This time around Billy from Silverstein was kind enough to put together a really rad mix and even took the time to put together a cover art for the mix. This mix shows the vast collection of music that Billy listens to and there might even be a few surprises thrown in if you are only familiar with the band he plays in. The mix includes tracks from bands like Alkaline Trio, Knapsack, Strike Anywhere, Hot Water Music, Weakerthans, Owen, Death Cab for Cutie, Nada Surf, Rancid, Lifetime, Between the Buried and Me, and more. It is a very cool mix of bands and make sure you click the listing as Billy also explained why he picked the tracks that he picked. Thanks Billy for taking the time to do this.

FREE Mix CD Club CD by Patrick from Limbeck

I am super excited to share with you the mix CD club mix CD by Patrick of Limbeck. Let me start by saying that Limbeck is one of my favorite bands. Limbeck’s two albums that we carry at Dead Format are both essential in my book and is the perfect mix of Ryan Adams meets Lucero or Drag the River meets the Get Up Kids. Actually the mix CD Patrick from Limbeck put together does a good job of telling you the story of what their band sounds like.

On his mix CD, you get rad tracks from Rilo Kiley, Screeching Weasel, Lucero, Rocky Votolato, Propagandhi, Cory Branan,  Get Up Kids, Weakerthans, The Shins, Nada Surf, Saves the Day, Spoon, Gorilla Biscuits, Pavement, and Superdrag.

Thanks Patrick for putting together this Mix CD. I have been listening to it nonstop for the past 2 days.
