featured releases
On June 7, Fucked Up will release the follow up to their Polaris-winning Chemistry Of Common Life. The new record, entitled David Comes To Life, will be featured in Matador’s cool-ass Buy Early, Get Now program. There’s free tunes, exclusive stuff…
Details are below…
BUY EARLY, GET NOW: DAVID COMES TO LIFE “What Do I Get?”
- CD or 2xLP of David Comes To Life, available for collection at a trusted physical retailer available on or after June 7th.
- 4 Bonus 7“s of 8 extra non-album songs available for collection on or after June 28th.
- Instant download of 5 non-album songs available beginning April 26th.
- A full 192k album stream & hi-quality album download in 4 parts over 4 days from May 10th-13th.
- Download of Record Store Day Exclusive “David’s Town” compilation from June 7th.
- An exclusive poster on June 7th.
HOW IT WORKS
Customers pre-order the album here at Ditch & are given a voucher with a unique code stamped on the front. This voucher has three portions to it, the retailer keeps one as proof of the pre-order & the customer the other two. The customer then goes to www.buyearlygetnow.com and enters the unique code that is printed on the voucher to register for the extras (ie. streams, downloads and 7”s).
It is imperative that customers register at www.buyearlygetnow.com to guarantee receipt of the extra material. If they do not register, delivery of the 7”s cannot be assured.
Instantly upon registering, the customer will receive 5 non-album tracks. Then between May 10th & 13th a download of the album will be available in four parts over four days. On release day, June 7th, they will receive a download of the Record Store Day exclusive release, David’s Town. Additionally on June 7th, the customer will return to the retailer where they pre-ordered and redeem the first portion of the voucher to pick up either their CD or 2 LP and the exclusive poster.
On June 28th the customer will take the third portion of their voucher back to the store to receive their 4 exclusive 7”s.

We’re super excited for this year’s upcoming RSD! Last year was a crazy day to say the least, but this year will be that much sweeter now that we’ve moved to our new larger location on Fort St.
We’ve already been fielding calls re: RSD titles & many of you likely have questions about what will be available etc. We cannot guarantee stock on any of the RSD titles, but we encourage you to email us your wish lists, so we know which titles to order heavy on (thus increasing the likelihood that we’ll receive said titles). Last year we missed out on some key releases, but were also surprised to receive some of the more boutique releases, so you never know…
Below are a few points that hopefully answer some general questions any of you might have pertaining to RSD 2011…
THE NEW DITCH RECORDS ON RECORD STORE DAY
With our new larger location, Record Store Day is shaping up to be pretty crazy this year, sooooo… couple of points:
- We’ll be opening earlier & staying open a bit later than usual; 10am (maybe earlier!) to 7pm
- We’ll be having some special in-store performances from a couple of local bands that are near & dear to our collective hearts. Stay tuned!
THE MORNING OF APRIL 16th…
Last year we were caught a little off guard by how many people lined up outside the store in the hopes of nabbing that special RSD title. It was a bit chaotic (albeit FUN!) & so this year here’s how we’ll work it:
- every RSD title we receive will be in a browsable box at our new improved (read: larger) counter/till area.
- the lineup at the door will be honoured meaning, the person at the front of the line will get to browse the RSD titles first.
- duplicate purchases will not be allowed (ie/ multiple copies of the same title)
RECORD STORE DAY RELEASES
The list of RSD-related titles is HUGE this year, so many that listing them all would just be silly. For those interested in perusing everything available, download this PDF. Otherwise, here’s a list of some of the things that caught our eye…
Built to Spill – Ripple – Picture disc 7”

UPDATE #2
Ditch 3.0 will be opening this Monday (March 14th) at noon!!!!!!
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
we’ll be closed for a few days to arrange & rearrange. The new Fort will be open early to mid next week (14th to 16th??). See you there……..
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
Yessir… we’ve been planning it for a while & finally the big transition is looming. Watch for the new Ditch in the first or second week of March. We’ll post the exact date when we know.
The new location will be at 784 Fort Street (close to Blanshard, next to Monks, across from Ali Baba’s) & will be larger than our current home…
The much larger spot will allow us to expand our selection of CDs & LPs immensely.
Needless to say, we’re excited. Stay tuned.

(Merge) CD & 2LP
It’s been a minute but Win Butler & co. still got the chops. The Suburbs retains the bombast & jubilation of the first 2 records, exploring middle-age frustration and malaise, not to far from the subject matter that The National hones in on. The classic Arcade Fire dynamic is still here, with the group still able to navigate emotional highs & lows, be it the punked up energy of “Month Of May” or the paced romanticism of “Wasted Hours”… welcome back!

(Asthmatic Kitty) CD & LP
Victoria transplants Shapes & Sizes are an uncompromising avant-pop machine & on Candle To Your Eyes, they continue their string of challenging, artful guitar pop. Channeling no-wave geetars & their own distinct brand of mutant-indie-r&b, Shapes & Sizes confound again with another set of songs that weighs in heavy for fans of challenging, progressive indie-rock. For fans of Deerhoof & Menomena.

(independent) CD
Local Vic peeps with a penchant for intricate post-post-rock adventures. A hyper-literate bunch of virtuosic musicians contributes to a record that should turn the heads of those looking for intelligent, emotional music. Echoing the intensity of classic Mogwai & Godspeed, whilst displaying deft songwriting chops, this an album that deserves some local love.

After stints with New Pornographers & Immaculate Machine, Kathryn Calder steps out with a mature solo effort; Are You My Mother? orbits around Calder’s terminally ill mother & the songs borne of this are contemplative odes to the many paths one is offered in life. Balladry & pop hold hands all over this beautiful record.
Are you Kathryn online?
