NOFX’s Coaster Out Today; Fat Mike Talks About Lower CD Prices For Fat Wreck Releases

The Fat Wreck newsletter passes along the following note from its leader, Mr. Fat Mike: Things I learned going to Ireland: Don’t order Bushmills in Dublin. Don’t order Jameson in Belfast. Don’t drink too much on the ferry, or too little, cuz either way, you will get sick. Oh, this is the important news: the NOFX record comes out today. What’s more important is that it will be priced under $10 in every store in North America. This is not a sale. This is how much this CD costs, and not only that, but EVERY CD on Fat Wreck Chords will now be under $10 and most will be under $8. No, we are not crazy. We just think that having a very low CD price is a fair way for scene supporting music fans to support their favorite independent bands and labels. Sound crazy? I think it sounds reasonable. We make less profit, but bands hopefully will sell more CDs to more people, which is why we started doing this in the first place. Ok, I’m off the ferry now, but still seasick. I think this whole island might be floating. Cheers, Mike – You can stream Coaster on NOFX’s MySpace page, or on the band’s Punknews profile.
