R.I.P To Da Rawk (1 Viewer)

[spuded]

Just thought the regretful and sudden closure of the record store a.k.a mero's should be mentioned here. The record store was established around a time when i really started to come up from kildare to dublin a bit more for gigs and of course records and without it god knows i could have ended up joining the thrills and playing shit indie and buying even more dodgy records. Mero was always fuckin sound no matter how retarded my questions and put my first zine on sale without a seconds thought when it came out a couple of years ago. This post should of course also mention jamie, who did alot for the shop and was always quick to point me in the direction of the latest doom or grind release (no jokes about releases), and answered people's banal questions, somehow managing to hold back that sharp tongue of his (only j/k boss!). Also to anyone else who worked there for spaces of time, tommy trousers, gary sloan, boz, they all deserve respect. Scenes are built upon places like mero's and there are alot of bands/zines and people involved in the scene who would never have got past one or two gigs if it wasn't for that place.

MAXIMUM RESPECT and best of luck to mero and jamie .|..| .|..|

Fuck! Fuckingtonfuckley! I always went there if I was in Dublin for the day! One of the few decent things about that scumhole excuse for a human city!!

What happened?

 

[jillface]

Fuckin hell, that sucks!

Oh well, I suppose I´ll just go drown my sorrows with 13 cent cans of beer and a massive block of hash in the sun....heh heh heh.

Viva Espana!

Shit- my sentiments echo those of necro steve's!! Ws the high light of any visit an' ya were always bound to pick somethin up in the new releases part!! bollox to that... twill be missed...

 

[Rimbaud]

Sad news - i`ve picked up some deadly stuff there myself.
Good luck to Jamie and crew anyway.

 

[mc moley]

thats really unfortunate. fair play to all involved, i'd say it was a lot of work through the years.
what happened? anybody know????

 

[spuded]

what happened? anybody know????

it closed down that's really all that needs to be known surely

 

[niallmc]

A big loss to the scene in Dublin

 

[Denver Max]

i only realized how much i took it for granted when i found out. Murder City is great for arty and threeoneg releases, but what about hc and grind, and death, and.....well just anything. But yeah, respect to both mero and jaime. RIP Mero's

 

[no class]

Yeah it sucks...i got some good records there over the years

Hey All,

don't really want to talk about the why's and wheres of exactly what happened, cos to be honest I'm in the dark about most of it myself.This has all happened real sudden, and I'm sure there will be plenty of rumours - ignore them.If you want to know what happened, ask me in person.

But I do want to just really quickly say a big big massive THANK YOU to anyone who ever came in and bought stuff, gave us stuff to sell (which reminds me, if anyone has stuff they need to collect or money owed to them - and this is important - GET IN TOUCH WITH MERO,not me), or just came in to hang out and make an afternoon a bit more interesting.You may not have thought it at the time, but it's all appreciated.

Now i gotta go find a job.

Support Red Ink/Murder City - running a shop that does diy/punk/underground stuff is fucking hard,and Will,bushie,ann and Natalia will be carrying some of the stuff that we had.

cheers,
Jamie

I would like to be first to start the rumour that the stormfront lads shut the place down.

also clearchannel..

I'm really sorry to hear about this. I'll miss coming in for a curmudgeonly rant from Jamie, or spirited banter with Mero. 'Twas always much-enjoyed time.

I'll miss coming in for a 'hello', and leaving with an armload of CDs and books.

 

[oh shit]

good luck jamie... visits to dublin won't be the same (i'll be blowing my money on records somewhere else)

 

[bombidol]

Does anyone have a contact for Mero? We need to collect some 20BE money off him.
RIP meros

[Sponges]

Ah fuck..sorry to hear it, that place was fuckin deadly, good luck to all involved. rip..

 

[bandit]

It's like a part of me is gone forever..
The place will be sorely missed.
