In celebratory fashion of it's 20th anniversary, Subpop has decided to reinstate their famed singles club for one year. The singles club have included some seriously legendary stuff from people like Nirvana, The White Stripes, Death Cab for Cutie, Sonic Youth, Jesus & Mary Chain, Modest Mouse, and dozens and dozens of others. Singles Club 3.0 is shaping up nicely with a few surprises SP isn't letting out from under their hat just yet.
Via Subpop:
The Sub Pop Singles Club is back, all tan and rested after a shockingly long sabbatical. It is a somewhat louche, world-weary thing with its eye on your wallet. This run of The Sub Pop Singles Club will run for 1 year only, include records (of the 7” variety) with music from such artists as Om, Unnatural Helpers, Tyvek, Black Mountain, Black Lips, Arthur & Yu, Mika Miko, Blues Control, Notwist, plus some stuff we’re not yet at liberty to divulge. We will mail subscribers 1 record per month, every month for an entire year beginning on August 15th with a fantastic pair of songs from Om. We will be pressing 1,500 copies of each single and so the number of subscriptions available for sale will be correspondingly limited. When these subscriptions are gone, that’s it! If you want in, better go here now:
Go here to get in!
In celebration, here are a few tracks from singles club 7''s of days gone by.
[mp3] Death Cab for Cutie - Underwater!
[mp3] Pedro the Lion - Song A
[mp3] The White Stripes - Party of Special Things to Do
[mp3] Bright Eyes - I Will Be Grateful for This Day...

For the lineup, 75 bucks is way too high. I mean, no big artists at all, really....
Thanks!
I can't wait!
And thanks for sharing Song A!
does that bright eyes song have the right title?
i dont think that is "i will be grateful for this day"
$75 is a tiny bit above cost you douche-nozzle. If the lineup were stellar would you pay twice that?
Anyway, since when is music priced based on the (highly subjective) "quality" of the music or the "bigness" of the artist? Go back to school.
The Bright Eyes track above is from the Sub-Pop single (march 2001). The actual tracks and a whole bunch of others are still available at I am fuel, you are friends. The individual tracks don't work, but the re-upped zip file still seems to work.
Anonymous 1: The phrase "plus some stuff we're not yet at liberty to divulge" makes it impossible to infer that there are no "big" artists in the new series. And some of the artists who are listed could look pretty big in a few years. If you listen to indie music, aren't you supposed to be looking for the next big thing and complaining that the big-name established acts no longer impress? The Sub-Pop singles club was always intended for explorers rather than for a general audience (7" vinyl, after all).
Sorry, typo. The Bright Eyes track above is NOT from the Sub Pop single.
Whoops, you're right. I have the actual "I Will be Grateful" laying around somewhere if anyone wants it.
