How d folks

Hope all is well

The hurling is off and running, the proper stuff ( not the league)…jays if Waterford bring something to the table it’s going to be a mad munster championship.

Releases for this friday the 25th of april include

The intensity of the last few weeks is starting to ease up…delighted it’s in the rearview for another year to be honest.

Releases then for the 2nd May include

UCC exams are starting tomorrow next door to us for the next 4 to 5 weeks … .so the parking can be an issue outside the front…there is ( nearly) always parking in the 4 or 5 spaces outside the very front of the shop, but there maybe cones in front of them….just pop out of the car , move the cones and park….or double park outside if no parking and pop into us and we will sort it…its monday to friday, no issue on Saturdays….easy fix for us so just let us know and we will sort it.

In boring industry news, Orchard have moved distribution company to DP world ( who also do Integral, Sony, Cargo) ….so Orchard deliveries should be more timely….Proper used do their ( Orchard) distro along with Shellshock and SRD ( as well as Proper themselves) …here is where there is a little problem….for Proper to ship to us, there needs to be 30 units in the box…losing Orchard means it takes longer to get 30 units in the box….so Proper , Shellshock and SRD orders are going to be a bit slower getting to us id imagine….we often hear on the shop floor , it’s due out today….80% of the time that’s no issue, but with some companies if i don’t have enough stock in my “ box” it doesn’t ship….moral of the story…be chill.

Exciting week ahead for Adam as his band “ Cutouts” are going into the studio to hopefully lay down some tracks for the album … .so he is missing for a while.

Stripe was down for 5 days last week….they sent me a survey to rank their customer service from 0 to 5 after it was all done….so it was like been marooned on a wet, cold, stony , sandless , foodless desert island with a james last record and a toothache from hell…and they wanted to know how they had done….zero was terrible if your interested.

 

So main week for this week… and records /cds i shall be ordering in the next few days are for releases on the 9th of May….these include ( shout, shout let it all out)

Here is a tune from the new album
