Hi Folks

Hope all is well with ye.

Releases in the siopa for this Friday the 28th of Feb include…

 

 

Really so looking forward to tomorrow evening folks when we welcome the 5 lads from THE MURDER CAPITAL for an instore here with us in the shop to launch their third long player “ blindness”….and i’m not talking shite here, this is such a good record, i genuinely love it…track after track is quality.

One of my own favourites here…the drumming on this is sensational…bass damn fine also

That Feeling
We are at the cap now really. Might squeeze 4 or 5 more in….buy album from site if you want to go.

There is a little time change …with Doors for the instore now 6 pm … .performance will be 6.15 or 6.20 … .the shop will be closed from 5.15 to Joe public …and doors then at 6 pm.

The lads will perform a stripped back set of songs from the album for 30 minutes and sign every single person’s record or cd after … .if you can’t make it and want a signed copy again buy from the site with note to get signed.

Feel free to bring your own beer if you like…all good.

I think that’s the info … .love this band so it’s a great thrill to have them in our home.

Here’s another belter from the album…great tune…ill say it again…its tune after tune after tune…a great record.

INTEGRAL Pricing

CHERRY RED Pricing

 

Need anything above, shout in the next few days

There is a madness release via State 51 for RSD….3 OR 4 of ye after it….it will be 40 quid best i can do….costs circa 35 to 40 euro to get boxes delivered from the UK for  some companies since brexit…generally 15 sterling delivery ….this would have been pre brexit also and fair enough…the kicker is the courier companies are absolutely flaaing it ( cork slang for taken the piss for non Leesiders) charging 20 euros handling fee since brexit…what a load of bollocks…dpd the best of them but the rest of completely flaaaaing it…so delivery plus dog shite handling fees equal 40 euro….4 records…ye get the maths…basically anyone else want the madness one before i go mad myself ?

Will be doing RSD orders for Integral, Proper, Sony, Little Amber Fish, SRD, Shellshock and Plastichead this weekend so still time to wishlist on those.

Warner and Cherry Red are the following week then.

Right going to hand ye to Shane now as he takes ye down the road etc.

Thanks, Ray. Hello all!
Tomorrow evening should be a great one, will probably see some of ye there.
We’ve all been playing the album in the siopa for the last couple weeks, well worth picking up.
Delighted to have them instore.

First one to mention from me this week is a biggie! PINK FLOYD – At Pompeii is being released on a few formats including on 2 LP vinyl for the first time and it’s remastered by Steven Wilson.
An iconic concert film really. This is essential for Floyd fans I think. I think I might go for it on Blu Ray which includes behind the scenes footage of them working on songs from Dark Side. Looking forward to it. It’s being released on May 2nd.
Here’s ‘Echoes’ from it: https://youtu.be/gkwQV6t3t8w?si=l6p9OfY7Fei5dfrI

Also on the PINK FLOYD stuff, there’s a host of reissues of their 1970s albums on CD and Vinyl due out at the end of March.

Scottish group, CONSTANT FOLLOWER have a new album coming out (might be an instore at some point) ‘The Smile You Send Out Returns To You‘. Lovely atmospheric folky sound. Here’s a tune from it: https://youtu.be/2UVAx37rcsE?si=QCfWOm0oqQ9a_jh2

And before I bate through the list, there’s a brand new album coming out on May 30th by SWANS – Birthing on 2 CD+DVD or 3 LP+DVD. I know there’s a few SWANS fans who frequent the siopa. Here’s a bit of info on it:
“Swans return with Birthing, the latest album, developed over the course of a yearlong 2023–2024 tour.

Birthing is released via Mute and Young God Records. The initial pressings of the deluxe vinyl and CD include a bonus DVD featuring Swans Live 2024 (Rope) The Beggar, a concert film by Marco Porsia documenting the band’s most recent US tour. The DVD also includes I Wonder If I’m Singing What You’re Thinking Me To Sing, a documentary by Christopher Nicholson following Michael Gira’s 2022 solo tour.

Refined through relentless improvisation and live performance, as well as newly composed studio pieces, Birthing is a testament to Michael Gira’s uncompromising sonic vision. Beginning as skeletal acoustic compositions, the songs were gradually expanded and transformed in the studio with longtime live members and collaborators.”

Here’s what else is coming down the line:

Think that’s all folks.
On the bÚkl album coming out on Friday week, myself and Young Adam are working on something for it, so all going well, fingers crossed, I’ll include it in next week’s newsletter.

See ye tomorrow evening.

Thanks as always for listening
Ray, Shane, Young Adam and Mia.
