@jdunlevy Thanks so much @jdunlevy! Adam in Berlin just rode his bike at 1 a.m. with a 40 lb box to ship more to the states.

[John Dunlevy @jdunlevy]

Slept on ordering the @BarbieArmy86 LP (+ bonus 7") partly because I couldn't find where to order. Meanwhile, they already sold out of their initial shipment! Just ordered for May delivery from https://t.co/aDgRp8sE0K (via https://t.co/GtclFGTO42 )

[Barbie Army @BarbieArmy86]

First song off the album "Barbies Don´t Bleed" that contains all the original material we ever recorded. Released as an LP+7" combo. https://t.co/ezCJM4HFG8

@pmontoro @BarbieArmy86 @jen_b_larson @No_Plan_Records Somewhere I have copies of my Rain Fanzine interview with the band from the 80s. Maybe even a few polaroids I took at their space (Cermak/ Halsted?).
