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

Newsletter Vol.4 No.4 3/16/07

  _____  

Greetings from Quimper Sound & the Analog Lounge.

Modest Mouse is coming! Modest Mouse is coming! The most anticipated new
release of the year is finally here. Modest Mouse: We Were Dead Before The
Ship Even Sank is not the only game in town (or the worst title in recent
memory - though it's close), check out the full slate of new releases coming
below.

I know I'm repeating myself here, but we've been inundated with used CDs and
LPs lately - so much so that we 
don't even have enough room in our new "New Arrivals" racks to fit it
all. In addition to all the cool new vinyl we received a little while ago
there is a lot of 'new' used country, classic rock and reggae CDs as well.
If you 
haven't been down in a while, heck, even a week, then come check out
all that's "new" in the used.

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 . . .
