Cantor Records

Well! I received my copies of the Daily Dance reissue! This means that they should be at distributors and stores soon (they have already landed (mysteriously) in certain Chicago record stores). Forced Exposure will be receiving a bunch, so if you’re looking to wholesale, get in touch with them.

It’s been a zoo over here, so give me a few days to get the store running. If you’re very eager, drop me an e-mail (aaron [at] cantorrecords [dot] com) and you can paypal me the $15 + shipping it will cost to get a copy.

And, damn, they are so nice!

Hearts,

I know, I know, it’s been a while since I’ve updated the web-page. CHANDRA has basically sold-out and the Daily Dance reissue is just about finished so I thought it was time I wrote something! And that something is basically the photo below:

I wish I could say that reissuing records paid all my bills. The Cantor Records expense account includes a borrowed 90’s Toyota Carolla and lots of record mailers. Fortunately, I work full-time as a Music Director at a campus/community radio station here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (CJSR). If there is one station every radio outlet looks up to it’s WFMU. The quality and variety of programming on WFMU is outstanding. It was therefore with great excitement I read the words “CHANDRA – Transportation (Cantor)”  on the WFMU Heavy Rotation list (instead of doing a Top 30 chart, WFMU distributes a Heavy Rotation list).

If any WFMU DJ’s are out there reading, I want to say thanks for all the support!

Woo! I found sometime to make a new website. I have to tinker with things for a minute, but soon it will look excellent in all its minimal bliss. Bare with me. And don’t forget to check out the “store” :)
