Quimper Sound & the Analog Lounge
Washington's Oldest Independent Record Store 

Newsletter Vol.4 No.2 2/13/07

  _____  

Greetings from Quimper Sound & the Analog Lounge. It's the slowest time of
the year in the record biz - so what do the suits in the industry do? Throw
a party! It's Grammy time again, and we'll be sure and stock up on the
winners - and notable "losers" as well - so you can check out anything you
missed this last year. Also, don't forget that Wednesday is Valentines day.
Nothing says "I looooooove you!" as much as the new Norah Jones, or perhaps
"Stan Getz for Lovers", or (two of my personal favorites) anything by Marvin
Gaye or Barry White...

 <http://www.quimpersound.com/> If you have any suggestions (or
complaints/compliments) feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to:
feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
