Hey duderz: BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND, and since FLOOR is playing ATP later this month, we figured we’d run the “FLOORTWENTY” coupon code sale for another few weeks!
Basically the FLOOR Below & Beyond 8xCD discography set is mega hooked up and comes with a free 8xButton set as well. Most triumphant!

Obscure band of the day: Philly’s CHROMELODEON. This has been on a near non-stop rotation in RoboHQ’s speakers since 2008! They broke up the year prior so despite absolutely loving it, this would’ve not been a wise thing for us to attempt to release, but goddamn it’s good (and unique). The Final Recordings are a perfect instrumental mix of traditional live instruments, 8bit video-gamey synths, mild recording spice and just good-ol’ solid songwriting. Full download:

p.s. NERDS!!!
Here is a photo of 80’s pop singer TIFFANY wearing a PG.99 hat. Total glory from the vaults! Related: we re-pressed PG.99’s Singles LP recently. Nab dat.
