New releases from Easy Street Records
Submitted by Jflores on November 19, 2008.Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan together just slay me. Ballads of the Broken Seas is one of my very favorite Sunday Morning records of all time. Now they are back with an even better follow up Sunday At Devil Dirt, out today. How do I knw it's even better? Well, it's been avaialble as an import for a while now, and they proved me wrong and made an even better record. Now I just have to see them live and together! When Isobel Campbell came through town last she had another guy filling in for Lanegan, and it was good. But man, I need to see them together before I die!
Isobels former band Belle & Sebastian are releasing The BBC Sessions today too!
Um, I have always given Beyonce the benefit of the doubt, but really now B, Shasha Fierce? Really? I saw her perform some of the songs on SNL last Saturday and I hate to admit they were pretty good. But, really?
Oh yeah and the American Idol 08 David Cook puts his self titled record out today , one week after the little one that didn't win (Archeletta) put out his out. I wonder who the real winner will actually be? Hmmm?

I think you're referring to Smitty, and he is as nice as he is a legend here in Seattle (2nd Avenue Pizza, Feminist Baseball zine, makes funny art films, owned a great label, leader of Mr. Epp & The Calculations w/ the Mudhoney guys before they were that). Of course, his friend and fellow 2nd Avnue Pizza compatriot who also worked the vinyl section Jody was nice too, and I think they both moved back into dazzling food service again ...
That Lou Reed vinyl has been spinning sadly and brilliantly on my turntable since I saw it and bought it at ESR, J. Thanks!

Is it really necessary to list Mudvayne and Nickelback? or are we being ironic or something like that?

Well bob, the post is called "New releases from Easy Street Records" and if Mudvayne and Nickelback have new releases and they're going to be stocked at Easy Street, I don't see what the problem is with a comprehensive list.

Oh yeah, Smitty and Jody both left to help open a new pizza place near Seward Park called Flying Squirrel Pizza. It was a real loss for us cuz those dudes rule, but they landed a great opportunity. I hear the food is delicious, everyone should check it out and say hi to the boys!
I am glad your enjoying your wax Chris, come in and get some more! ; )
Dear Bob, it is definitely something like that...

Wow thanks so much for the info! I will definitely have to check out his new establishment.
We used to call him Vinyl Vincynt...because we didn't know his name. But Smitty fits better I think.

Hey Jflores, do you know what happened to the guy who used to work at the Queen Anne Easy Street, the vinyl guy?
He was always so nice and said hi every time I saw him and asked how I was doing, and now he's never there!
