So you can await the boards decision in next week’s episode…..and thats a genuine dot dot dot folks

Heres a bit more about the release

“In July 2022 Blek was commissioned to write a suite of songs about the city of Dresden by the Saxony Cultural Department. The resulting compositions were then recorded at the beautiful Castle Studios in the countryside just outside Dresden with local musicians Filip Sommer and Moritz Brümmer (The Broken Strings). These recordings form John’s 6 track EP, “Digressions #3 – In Dresden”.

These songs document John’s own experiences of the city from its everyday vibrancy to the ghosts of its violent past. Dresden’s beauty sits comfortably beside its history on this record.

Digressions #3 – In Dresden will be released on CD & Digital on Friday 12th of January via John’s own label Bigger River Recording Co.”

And here is a beautiful tune from the EP also

I had a bit to say on a subject but i’m going to park it till next week as time kind of against me…the first newsletter of the year is tricky as bits coming at us from all angles since 2nd Jan….our bosses/colleagues/competitors/friends are back…( record companies)

Things will settle next week.

Few nice releases there for the26th isn’t there with THE SMILE ONE, the RICHARD HAWLEY live one, the NEW DAD debut, new FUTURE ISLANDS, the JACK WHITE reissues and a new SARAH JAROSZ….i probably told ye folks this before and ye might notice how the tail end of the month is top heavy with releases…the indie shops get less credit the later in the month something comes in….if we buy something on jan 2 we pay end of feb or if we buy 26th jan, still end of feb…so hence top heavy at the end of every month….better than no credit though! That was the way 23 years ago and i was way less cranky then as well, so ill stop grumbling.

Happy new year folks

Sin e for this week

Thanks for listening as always

• Spacemen 3 – Forged Prescriptions    first time on vinyl
• The Black Crowes – The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion reissues
• The Lemonheads – It’s A Shame About Ray (Classic Edition white vinyl)
• Willie Nelson – Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90 Live At The Hollywood Bowl

The list is a bit shorter this week and even less next week … .and then on the 13th Dec we will plug early Jan stuff and then we have  2 or 3 weeks away from the newsletter.

The clear vinyl version of “ harvest moon” is coming before Christmas …it was delayed a number of times. There are hardly any new albums out on the 15th Dec…will be quite a lot in Jan. I felt it was a good year for music, some good albums came out , a very strong year for Irish releases I felt , which is great. We will organize our polls for albums of the year in early Jan….its hard for me to find the time for it until then.

Adam’s latest creation is here ( just want to clarify, Adam is staying , a few of ye picked me up wrong a few weeks ago) on the aul instagram:

You can just click on the link from here and it should bring you straight there…magic.
Just wait for an hour after the newsletter to do it….not magic.

Unabashed plug time …records , cds, laughs, hifi , vouchers ( in store or digital online ones), pisstakes,  record cleaning service and abuse all available from us …so dont miss out this Christmas!! 

Going to hand ye over to Shane as he has a couple of announcements for ye

Sound, Ray, thanks!
How’s it going everyone? Hope yere good!

And here’s a few others for next year:

• REAL ESTATE – Daniel – new album – CD or limited Silver vinyl – 23/2/24
• HIGH LLAMAS – Hey Panda – new album – CD or vinyl – 29/3/24
• ANNA CALVI – Peaky Blinders Season 5 & 6 Original Score – limited red vinyl – 26/1/24

Ray mentioned the album of the year list. I always like doing it. Haven’t decided on a top 5 but my top 3 are Susanne Sundfor – blómi, KNOWER – Knower Forever and King Gizzard – Petro Dragonic Apocalypse.
Others I have in mind are Grian Chatten’s album, Mick Flannery and Sufjan Stevens.
There are always ones you forget then as well and remember are brilliant half-way through next year.

Anyway, that’s all from me folks. Ar ais duitse, Ray.
 

Thanks Shane!
