Okay, so after having Desperate Straights/Casablanca Moon removed from my Wayside order a while ago (probably due to no stock or something), I've finally gotten some Slapp Happy and am loving it.  Except I got Acnalbasac Noom instead of Casablanca

Sorry - I might have ordered the last one :P I remember when you said you ordered it, I had just ordered a copy.


Meany! Tongue

According to the website it's in stock now ... maybe they got it back?

I wouldn't mind if Cuneiform did a bit of a remake of their web pages. Great label, but the webpages are a bit" late 90's" in my opinion. It might be well invested money for the label. Any volunteers on PA? :)




edit: Sorry, you were talking about Wayside. Anyway, my post is still relevant.

Thats what I assume. I would just appreciate some sort of email letting me know (aside from keeping up with their inventory) they don't have something. I suppose they are too busy for that sort of thing though. At least on aquarius they warn you ahead of time they don't keep up with what they actually have in stock on their homepage.
 
Perhaps now-a-days I'm just ordering more obscure stuff from them....

Wayside just redid their website not too long ago...gotta say I preferred the way it looked.
 
And maybe they are going for retro. Tongue

Indeed, though actually I rarely use spellcheck. My excuse for that schoolboy error is tiredness, plain and simple.

Creative Writing? I'm sure it's something related to that, or I'm hallucinating again. 

I used to never mix up it's/its and their/they're/there in my writing and I couldn't understand how anybody could. But now, after years of reading forum posts my hands will type the wrong one automatically and I have to go back and fix it. DAMN YOU INTERNET!

No, you're right. It was a pretty experimental programme though - more related to performance art and other such w**kery... not much churning out of sonnets and short stories went on and we certainly didn't waste much time worrying about spelling and grammar!

Yeah, the internet sucks. Case in point, I never used to use phrases like "this thing sucks" until the f**king internet happened.

At this point I could weigh in with the observation that I have taught asylum seekers illiterate in their first languages how to use the humble apostrophe correctly, although it's probably going to become obsolete in the next few decades - still, language constantly evolves, innit?
 
As for Led Bib - I'm basically in favour of them, being a nice bunch of Walthamstow boys who are keeping the jazz flame burning - but I think Polar Bear beat them on all fronts (also based in and around east London, led by a drummer who composes almost everything and fronted by twin tenor saxes, as opposed to the Bib's duelling altos). Haven't hear the latest offering but I'll probably get it in the next couple of weeks.

Get that indeed! Funny, I'm editing some hypertext presently, and, for some reason, I find it much easier to miss things on the screen as opposed to the page; I often end up just printing out a copy, because my reading/attention seems much more thorough on paper. Less distraction I suppose...?

So, Marcello of AltrOck tells me there are 4 new titles soon to be released! Not sure what yet, but a new Garamond shall be amongst them I believe...

Never heard of Polar Bear... Time to do some research!

Hoping to finalize this in the next couple of days

Sanhedrin "Ever after"
Will be released on 25/2/11

I remember Calomito from my days on the ZART (I think I added them to the archives).  Definitely looking forward to this new release.

That is a delicious list from Altrock. Certainly looking forward to Calomito and October Equus. Interesting to see that Camembert in on Altrock...certainly fills me with hope that their album will be a good surprise.
