The G-Man Release Of The Week is :
Other ditties/releases of note this weekend including a few releases from last weekend when I was off galavanting, jazz-style…
Slow Moving Millie – Renditions
The Lemonheads – Laughing All The Way To The Cleaners
This Is The Kit – Wriggle Out The Restless (Deluxe Edition)
*If anyone is about Cork I recommend popping in to Jim and Albert in Plugd Records. The new store is up and running on Tobin Street as part of the new Triskel Arts Centre and you can even have a cup of tea and a bite to eat in their new café, Gulpd.
If you are located elsewhere I strongly recommend picking up at least one album when you can from your local independent store. Most independents now take orders by email and post out the stock if you are unable to get to the store so it may be worth checking out.
