Each month we highlight five new fantastic releases. Please visit any AIMS retail location to sample these fantastic new releases.





Good music can't be rolled off an assembly line like an appliance or automobile. Leave that to the corporate chains. The items listed below are being offered selectively via a small group of independent stores across the country and/or the artists' web sites, which means you won't find them at places that carry fridges and microwaves. Quantities are limited, so don't be messin' around.


PEARL JAM - Live at Easy Street (street: 06/ 06/06)
In late April 2005, PEARL JAM played a surprise show at Easy Street Records in West Seattle on a Friday night in support of the 10th anniversary of the Coalition of Independent Music Stores (CIMS). The result was a once in a lifetime performance that has been captured on an EP entitled LIVE FROM EASY STREET. This 7 song EP contains 3 never before released cover songs!
  ALSO AVAILABLE:  Pearl Jam’s brand new self-titled CD!


JOSH ROUSE - Subtitulo
Upon launching his own imprint label, JOSH ROUSE is proud to (finally) see one of his full length albums available on vinyl. In an amazing gatefold packaging, the vinyl version of SUBTITULO comes with exclusive artwork which differs drastically from its sister CD version. Reflecting back on his migration to Spain after spending many years in Nashville, TN, Josh bought a plane ticket and immersed himself in the lifestyle and customs of Spanish culture.  This influence shines throughout the upbeat (and largely romantic) tenor of each song.

DINOSAUR JR. - J MASCIS LIVE AT CBGB'S: The First Acoustic Show
Release date 5/16/06. This recording is a show from 1993 at CBGB's. It  will be released in conjunction with the Expanded and Re-masterered versions of Green Mind and Where You Been. This is the first ever "unplugged" show from Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Mascis now released in it's entirety for the first time.


THE BOY LEAST LIKELY TO - The Best Party Ever
THE BEST PARTY EVER, which compiles the first three singles plus five new tracks from UK-based THE BOY LEAST LIKELY TO, shares that youthful, existential whimsy found in classics like Calvin & Hobbes.  This isn't children's music, but it takes a child-like eye to Postcard pop awash in 1960s California sunshine with hints of country and soul.  Twinkling synths, handclaps, banjos, and glockenspiel accompany the shambling acoustic guitar on songs about tigers, monsters, growing up, and ‘Warm Panda Cola.” Pitchfork gives it an 8.5!


WILL HOGE - The Man Who Killed Love
WILL HOGE incorporates the best of both the singer/ songwriter genre and vintage, surging rock 'n roll.   Through sharp lyricisms and strong melodies, his songs tell stories that are delivered with a passion and desperation that demand attention.  Explosive live performances, non-stop touring, and a commitment to songwriting have earned Hoge and his band a fanatical following as well as critical acclaim.  Hoge has delivered a rock n roll album in its truest sense; included are such live show faves as “Woman Be Strong” and Hearts are Gonna Roll.”


But wait! There's more!
