Do you by any chance work in Tower?

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

first alphabitzation, then what? price tags?!?!

That would be Sound cellar.

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

there has to be a reason for why soundcellar is the way it is...suppose it weeds out the weak

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Sound Cellar must be the most customer unfriendly record shop in the world.

Customers are saps.

Collie's gone vegan he was telling me earlier today.

The soundcellar is grand. Although you're right, you ask for an album and just hope for the best with the price. No receipts either.
For my brother's comfirmation afters, we went to the soundcellar and spent the money. As far as I remember one of the albums bought was Sign of the Hammer.

Agree about the rooting aspect of that sad and lonely Tower. I found a nice limited edition copy of the last Ministry album there on one of my most recent visits to the big smoke, as well as two Beavis and Butthead figures.

I am 12.

ha ha ha, I've never bought a record there... I've wanted too, but I bottled out at the last minute and fled

I think it's kind of fallin between two stools so to speak. Eason don't own it and Tower don't own it so nobody could be arsed to clean it.

Tower DO own it! It used to be a badly organised store but it's alot better of late. Just go in and give it a chance! Eason's however do own the toilets so that explains the state of them!ninjaaaa

 

[Yurn!]

They have 'Analyse That' for €35! Awesome.

I know that feeling. I've bought tickets for gigs in there but I don't have the zits/mullet/parka criteria to ask for a Cannibal Corpse album. Or the mo'fokin' inclination.

Having tried unsuccesfully to get a Masters of Reality live album in SoundCeller on several occasions - it was always "on order" - I went in there and invented a band name and an album title and asked if they could get it for me. Tommy whateverhisnameis seemed familiar with the 2 disc opus, and said, in all honesty that it was "on order" and should be in next week.

A shithole, but a decent place to get tickets for sold out shows if you get there on the right day.

 

[MDR]

fools, if you can spend a bit of time digging there's actually some good stuff in there, they have fuck all of some things and then will have every XTC album or everything by Tape or the limited edtion of something that sold out months ago everywhere else but no one bothered looking in there... the "sale" section is bizzare too... as long as you don't go in looking for anything specific and are willing to root and let the Gods decided, it's alright

Same applies to some suburban Golden Disc stores.

And that record shop on Liffey Street (or Abbey Street?) that seems to specialise in dance and techno. Picked up few ridiculous bargains there last year (Bonnie Prince and Smog LPs for €4.99). Its a mad place for the Tracksuit brigade...

Abbey Discs.

Always reliable for stuff that may be gone / unavailable elsewhere.

examples
Therapy? - Opal Mantra clear vinyl 7"
Spirtualized - Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space 2xLP

Sound Cellar is ok, once you get used to no prices / receipts.

Or you could just put a deposit down before tickets go on sale, which they'll do for pretty much any gig except say a PInk Floyd reunion in the Attic.

I hear you spend your entire weeks having Mrs Ro drive you around every Golden Discs store in the greater Dublin, Meath, Wicklow and Kildare area, so you can see if you can pick up, say for example, a Goo Goo Dolls album from 4 years back (the one without the hit), for a couple euro cheaper then the HMV on Grafton Street. If you're sucssesful you treat all and sundry to a slap up meal, but if you fail you slip into dark dark moods that can last for weeks.

It's said, in certain circels, that this is the reason the new MDR album has been such a long time coming.

To be fair, it was you who tipped me off that Nada Surf's sixth album 'We're still a band' was on sale in the plumbing aisle of B & Q for only €24.99.

They released Maniac 2000 and singles by Spiral, so that's a given.
