Hi there! We've got loads of new releases and restocks in, as usual; here's a quick look:

First off, we've got a little special going on, courtesy of the fine folks at Lost & Lonesome Records. They sent me a handful of limited promo discs, which in addition to songs from their new releases, also contains previously unreleased songs from the Lucksmiths, Mid-State Orange, Ladybug Transistor, the Zebras and a solo recording from Marky Lucksmith! Anyways, all you need to do to grab one is order any release on Lost & Lonesome Records or any LUCKSMITHS release, and we'll throw one in (while supplies last, of course)!

Our other huge package comes from Odd Box Records (and Lost Music) from the UK, and contains all sorts of goodies from 7"s by BLANCHE HUDSON WEEKEND, KICK INSIDE and the MOSCOW OLYMPICS/MORNING PAPER split to cds from KNIGHT SCHOOL, MANHATTAN LOVE SUICIDES, WENDY DARLINGS, and PINK SHINY ULTRA BLAST, to name but a few...

In other exciting news, the newest release on the Jigsaw label is out! We're quite pleased to announce the third album from THE GAZETTEERS, which if you don't already know is Frank from Vehicle Flips and Wimp Factor 14 (with help from Rob Christiansen of Sisterhood Of Convoluted Thinkers, Eggs, etc). Another ten examples of charming and clever vignettes disguised as pop songs!

Also, I've just put up a pre-order option for the new DOLLY MIXTURE box set, which I'll be getting copies of the first week of August. As far as I know, I'll be the only distro in the US carrying this magnificent beast, and at $32, it's cheaper than getting it from the UK! I'm not getting many copies in, though, so if you want it, now's the time to snap it up!

Another incredible rarity we've got in is the BESTIES single from the Art Of The Underground singles club. The two songs were among the last the band recorded before their split, and are among their finest! These things are really hard to come by (unless you're a subscriber), so don't miss out!

Lots of other odds and ends in since I last wrote, with notables including: the DISLOCATION DANCE cds on Vinyl Japan, some records & tapes from the under-appreciated SEX CLARK FIVE, the debut GOLD BEARS 7" and that UNCAPPED 7" box set on Magic Marker, that really big batch of CHERRY RED/ÉL cds, and so much more!

Hey, and don't forget that we're a proper record shop with racks and shelves and a comfy chair and stuff - if you're ever in Seattle (or actually live here), be sure to drop in and say hi!
