					<description><![CDATA[Thanks to critically acclaimed reissues from Athens, Georgia pioneers Pylon and Love Tractor, interest in the back pages of the Athens scene is at an all-time high. What better time, then, to revisit another one of the city’s pioneering band, the beloved Oh-OK? On January 15th, HHBTM Records will be reissuing its 2011 compilation, the long out-of-print The Complete Reissue, available on LP, Cassette and Digital Download. When released in 2011, the LP quickly sold out, and became a sought-after release.

Formed in 1981 as a low-key project between friends, the band’s existence was solidified when local boys R.E.M. needed an opening act. Because of this, Oh-OK always felt like the scene’s kid sister, both figuratively and literally. Unbeknownst at the time, Pylon was about to break up, so Pylon frontwoman Vanessa Hay proudly passed the post-punk baton to friends Linda Hopper and Lynda Stipe (yes, that Stipe). Much like Pylon, the band would sign to legendary DB Records. Oh-OK released but two records; 1982’s Wow Mini Album and 1983’s Furthermore What, both collected here, alongside a handful of live recordings of songs that never made it to tape and two songs “Random” and “Courage Courage” which were set to be their final 7” before they broke up but were never released.

Oh-OK’s existence was brief, but the members went on to greater things. Linda Hopper formed the beloved 1990s alt-rock band Magnapop (In 2019 HHBTM Records proudly released their first major album release in nearly 15 years, The Circle Is Round), Lynda Stipe formed Hetch Hetchyand has a current project Flash to Bang Time which are preparing to release a new album in 2021, whilst late-era guitarist Matthew Sweet formed Matthew Sweet.

Though it’s a shame they never managed a full length proper, The Complete Recordings serves as a fine album in its own right, and is a worthwhile addition to any Athens scene fan’s collection.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When we started Happy Happy Birthday To Me twenty-one years ago, we did so in hopes of sharing the music of the outsider. Simple but smart, earnest but lighthearted -- bands and musicians who channeled a real sense of self without conforming to the musical status quo. People who not just marched to the beat of their own drum, but built that drum themselves. Naturally, we found inspiration in the work of late Texas poet and musician Daniel Johnston—a man more intent in getting his feelings set to tape than he was about sound quality. He understood—even if only on a subconscious level—that the sound of hiss and noise not only didn’t matter, it made his words of hope and heartbreak and fear and desire even more special. We were honored to have him perform at the 2007 Athens Popfest; his set will forever be one of our greatest Popfest performances.

Jump to 2016. We were thrilled to have Daniel Johnston return to Athens Popfest as our special guest and festival headliner. We had to provide his backing band, so we put together an in-house super-duper backing group featuring Jesse Stinnard from Antlered Aunt Lord / Tunabunny and Jake Ward and Marie A. Uhler from Eureka California. Daniel gave us some leeway and some direction for his setlist, and once settled, the band recorded it and sent Daniel a copy so he could rehearse. Unfortunately, the day of the show, the Gulf Coast was hit with a tropical depression, and all flights from Houston were grounded.

We at HHBTM wanted to pay tribute to one of our biggest influences. After some time passed, we listened to the practice recordings, and we knew what we had to do—but we knew we had to make it special. Thus we present you with some of those recordings, <i>The Daniel Johnston Covers Tape</i>, packaged on limited edition cassette with only 100 copies being made. The setlist offers a healthy mix of his classic songs and deeper cuts from all points in his career. Like the spontaneous, raw recordings of his Stress Records releases<i>, Antlered Auntlord: The Daniel Johnston Covers Tape</i> captures a moment in time from when Daniel was an “is” and not a “was.”  Any other tribute would have fallen short; Daniel was life, not death, and while his passing should be mourned, his music should never be treated mournfully.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: 400;">Originally just an exercise for working through ideas during quarantine, <em>Dance Bii</em> is a very, very special glimpse further inside the artist that is Wesdaruler, who already poured his soul out on his debut </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ocean Drive</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This mixtape dives deep and explores police brutality, self worth, fear, isolation, self-improvement, seeking parental approval even into adulthood, and constantly checking in and checking oneself all over a 30-minute nonstop track titled “Dance Bii.” Limited to 50 cassettes and 50 CDs.</span>]]></description>
