Posted 16 years ago #So, this whole venture is going to be done in conjunction with you all, the fans, not against you or to take advantage of you.
This new business i'm forming is going to be two part -
1) A new label which will facilitate the recording, manufacturing and dispersion of PUTS and PUTS related materials to all of you.
2) A webstore where you will be able to buy, amongst other things, these products direct from the artist(s) which would include affiliated artists such as DJ Day or Alibi or anyone else. Digital distribution will still happen on-line through the usual suspects but this will be a place for you to purchase limited and manufactured PHYSICAL units directly from us. The absolute RULE will be that all products will be shipped immediately upon receiving the order, all products will be sold AS marketed and in better than expected value and condition, and the entire experience will leave you feeling awesome. As such, I am going to be partnering with my homeboy Spelunk to facilitate immediate shipping on all orders as well as product management. We will price everything fairly and honestly and by cutting out all the middlemen, probably cheaper than what you have been paying from other sites/stores.
now, that being said, what do you want to see for sale?
Here's what i have envisioned for the launch:
1) 10 Year Anniversary DVD
2) PUTS "Acoustic Maurice" Direct to Disc double Vinyl.
3) A collection of T-shirts/Hoodies
4) Hats/Slipmats/Record bags
5) POSSIBLY - Serato Control Vinyl/PUTS exclusive material
6) Thes One designed PRO AUDIO gear
7) Rare/Collectible breaks & records as sampled by PUTS
Is there anything else you would like to see in this list? Any product ideas, projects, etc? List them below and lets discuss. We'll work on this together PUTS Army unite. -

D*mn, you give me all that good news and then ask me to come up with something?
I'm buggin' out on everything you just said. Gimme a sec to think a bit, and I'll post my thoughts. So far I've only got one thought: excellent start, man. -
Posted 16 years ago #All that stuff sounds awesome, especially the Thes One designed PRO AUDIO gear!!
You know what else I'd love to see / hear, Thes? More remixes from you in the vein of The Next Stets. Or a fly-ass PUTS remix compilation.. the DJ Day collabs have been so sweet so far, I'd love to hear some other folk take a stab at the PUTS catalog. -

Posted 16 years ago #I would really like to see EVERY People Under The Stairs song/album that has ever been properly released to be downloadable. Including compilation tracks, b-sides, remixes, etc.
T-shirts and Sweatshirts to be sized in 2XL and possibly 3XL for us larger sized P-fans. I understand this might be a custom type order and we'd have to wait a little bit longer to receive the item and possibly pay a little extra, but the option to order those sizes would be great. -

When I read this I couldn't help but think of Thes telling Double K "somewhere there's a Bar Kay missing a shirt" -

Gimme three of each... dude, I feel like John Belushi in the cafeteria in Animal House right now (or the Fat Boys in Krush Groove, take your pick).
2) PUTS "Acoustic Maurice" Direct to Disc double Vinyl.
3) A collection of T-shirts/Hoodies
4) Hats/Slipmats/Record bags
5) POSSIBLY - Serato Control Vinyl/PUTS exclusive material
6) Thes One designed PRO AUDIO gear

I agree with some kind of remix album; that Hit The Top contest proved that there are people willing to do something. It would also be cool to see how you guys could re-envision things you've already done. I mean, I know that'd feel like a step back and all, but still... maybe make a 20-minute mixcomp of "PUTS cuttin' up PUTS" and you could just mash layers from some of your different tracks together...
I also think that you could price gouge us (haha, just kidding) with live PUTS shows, if you have recordings of any good ones... I mean, look at Phish: those homies release a lot of live albums, and they get snapped up too. That reminds me, I've been meaning to ask: did you record Bonnaroo? I'd love to hear that show.
#7 especially trips me out. I've got mustache soul & original sounds and tracks, and i've heard mithai, and it would be cool for you to put together more comps like that.
Look, you have a chance to severely bankrupt me here, Thes. DON'T PASS IT UP. -
Posted 16 years ago #I think the Friends of Friends label has a neat business model.
From their site: "The concept in short for our inaugural release is FoF invites an artist to join the FoF family by signing on to do a split EP; they in turn invite another musician or group to complete the split release and commission a designer to create the EP?s artwork on a limited edition T-Shirt which will include a download card"
I was all stoked to get a teeshirt (in terms of fly-ness, it's okay, but not as fly as my "I [pump] PUTS" tee) AND music from one of my favorite artists... gives you something a little more tangible than just 0s and 1s thrown onto your iPod. -

I know silly ass tour dates like Phish pulls off, with 75 dates in a summer, is not your bag. Maybe doing three months on and three months off would work better for you guys. (i.e animal collective) It would seriously bring up the word of mouth by keeping your name in the show listings.
As for the live recordings, taping Phish shows works because the shows are different every night. Who would want to buy the same show. I know Improvisation is hard to do with our tools (I know I have been tryin? to make it work for years) but try a different song selection every night or a tour with an underlining theme. This would keep bringing the new fans back for more. -
Posted 16 years ago #I can only agree with what everybody else has said...
I can't wait till everything is up and running! -
