Look What We Found in Aisle 1


So there's some pretty decent stuff in our warehouse this week.  In Aisle 1* in particular.  See, that's where we stash the records.  And some DVDs and a bunch of stuff that belongs to those good sorts at Ode Records. But we'll save that business for another day. Whaddayareckon of this small selection:


Here we have some Tiny Ruins. A limited quantity of You Were Meant For Sea LPs going on sale next week.


And there are a few of the latest Om LP Advaitic Songs left right here.



Via our friends at Unwucht this lovingly restored and remastered 3rd 12" (Schwimmen in der See) in the Bilders/Bill Direen reissues series. Sold out elsewhere y'know.




These are shipping rather swiftly.  The xx LP Coexist is available in both your standard or deluxe gatefold styles. Each comes with the CD included.


Don't panic, there are more than two copies of Cat Power's Sun left. Deluxe. Includes limited edition 7" with bonus tracks. And a download coupon for your digital needs. 




*Here we must take a moment to acknowledge that this is the tidiest and most organised Aisle 1 has been since...ever.  Thanks to warehouseperson Andy. You rule.

RMHQ Weekly Staff Pick


This week's pick is from Pete, our mighty leader and most inventive sandwich maker to walk the earth...

The xx- xx
"Released late last year, The xx's debut album was a welcome highlight in 2009.  Housed in a Saville-esque sleeve, loaded with '80s references and a large chunk of '00s Londontown, this album won me over pretty quickly.  It's warm, haunting, sparse and very beautiful.  They've been nominated for this year's Mercury Prize and they'd surely get my vote!"
