Mike over at Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records has updated his website and provided some details on the upcoming year in HHBTM releases. You can read the whole newsletter at this Townhall thread, but here are the Elephant 6 highlights:

Some early Marshmallow Coast CDs will be reissued with bonus tracks.

UPDATE: When Optical Atlas asked Andy Gonzales if this will include Timesquare as well as the Kindercore releases, he replied: "I think we are doing the whole shebang, including early 4 track stuff!"

In addition, we can expect from HHBTM:

A new HHBTM Singles Club, with a full lineup of contributors to be announced June 1.
UPDATE:
Announced so far:
Apples in Stereo
Poison Control Center
Of Montreal
James Husband & the Wives
Marbles
Casper & the Cookies
All Girl Summer Fun Band
Cars Can Be Blue
Tullycraft
The Smittens

...with more to come!

Static in the Attic DVD compilation...
UPDATE: Mike from HHBTM has explained (see comments) that this is NOT an Of Montreal video compilation, as I had previously surmised. Sorry for the error.

The HHBTM Athens Popfest will be held August 8th - 12th, and the bands should be announced in April.

Plus a Happy Happy Birthday to Me Volume 4 CD, new Casper and the Cookies, a CD-R club, and more. Read the newsletter and check out the fancy new website.
