I’ve slept about six hours last 2 days. I was looking for emails from America at 3am. “Where’s my damn records! It’s record store day Saturday, I’ll be in Melbourne and stuff doesn’t work when I’m not here! Ship it NOWWWW! YES NOWW! Tracking number too so I can watch it coming here. ”

Yeah, it’s record store day this Saturday. Want to know what’s going to be here? Check the list on the site tomorrow. Should be a rad day. Please come in. I’m tired and spent a lot of money. Nic and Pete will be here, a good mix of Rock n Roll and Science. We’ll be updating the front page of the website regularly this week with what’s coming in, so keep your eyes peeled. Some highlights include this awesome Smugglers Way Zine with four flexidiscs inside it, the Morrissey 10” Pic disc of Suedehead, Black Angels 7”, Doomriders doing Devo, LCD Soundsystem 12”, Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, David Bowie “Starman” 7” pic disc, Tortoise 7”, Richard Buckner 7”, Tomahawk 3 LP box set, PIL and the Blue Line Medic tribute album, featuring Harmony, The Nation Blue and Smith St Band. Plus we’ll have some Nirvana 10” Box sets and Soundgarden 10”s.

Some cool re-issues from Destroyer and Freakwater are also available. Freakwater were pretty excellent country from the 90′s (oh, ok. ALT country. You know, country for people scared of Waylon Jennings or Willie Nelson’s testosterone)

Also, Nic will have the new RIP Society release from Constant Mongrel, plus some stuff Negative Guest List were going to put out before Brendan passed away that a few labels chipped in to finish. Great stuff folks. We’re also getting in loads and loads of vinyl. As before, check the homepage as it will be updated a lot. We’ll also be selling off some cd’s nice and cheap and having a special on t-shirts. Buy 2 get $10. Then, then if you spend over $100, we’ll give you a $10 gift voucher for next visit.

Scott and Charlene’s Wedding released “Para Vista Social Club” last year with very limited hand drawn covers. Bedroom Suck from Brisbane have re-issued it, which is great cos it rules. We also have the Scott and Charlene’s Wedding / Peak Twins split LP. Peak Twins feature members of Wolf and Cub plus Bitch Prefect. They were supoosed to be here last Friday, but someone sent them to 259 King st, instead of 356. That’s IGA near the Dendy. Luckily they didn’t give them away with those horrible beetroot flavoured chips or something. Sounds interesting beetroot flavoured chips, but they suck.

You know what rules? Condominium “Warm Home” on vinyl. Awesome punk band that injects a bit of abrasiveness instead of boring life management lessons. We also have more Total Control “Henge Beat”. Probably one of the best Aussie albums of last year along with Kitchens Floor “Look Forward To Nothing” and Royal Headache, which we also have have. Does anyone ever read this and think, “what the hell is this bloke on about? What about Gotye or some shit I’ve heard of dork”.

Dorks on the move, dorks on the move. We will be shifting ourselves and thousands of records no one has heard of before down the road a bit to 413 King St Newtown, in the old Coffee and A Yarn café in around a month or so. Just opposite Bloodwood restaurant and next to that hostel thing with the women fighting the council about developing it. It’s a big store still, but with larger window frontage so more people can see me swearing to myself on quiet days. Unless something goes horribly wrong at the lease signing today that is. I’ll let you know an exact date soon.

The Dig It Up Festival curated by the Hoodoo Gurus is on this Sunday on Enmore Rd. Redd Kross, The Sonics, Steve Wynn from Dream Syndicate, Royal Headache, Died Pretty and loads more. It’ll be sweet as. Check it out!

Storm have started the season well. 7 wins on the trot. Next game is against the bloody Warriors though, who somehow manage to drop their errors by 75% when they play us. Yes, us. I’m a member. We, the Storm. Me and Cameron Smith. Should have got him to work in the shop on Record Store Day. Maybe Sika Manu would be better. “You buying that Animal Collective 12″ or what?”
