The new Lord Cry Cry single arrived today!
It’s always very exciting having a new product arrive after months of planning and of course having spending the ‘hard earned’ to have it in your hands! Also, so, so, excited for Lord Cry Cry, this will be his first single release - having done quite a few pieces of music for films and animations. Check his myspace at www.myspace.com/lordcrycry
We’ll be uploading the tracks to listen to soon, and a look of the whole ‘package’ before they go out for sale.
Here’s a glimpse of our lovely fresh wax close-up:

Factoryroad’s Inkymole has just created this t shirt design for a ‘popular digital art magazine’. Not published till September, we can’t name the mag, but we can give you a sneak preview of the design. A familiar shape? Drawn by hand from the shape of our very own 45rpm adapters. You can buy the mag on September 14th, but we’ll hit you up with details before then.

Did you know the word ‘Vinyl’ comes from the latin word for wine, vinum? We recently found this online. The quote goes on to say that ‘Like most organic compounds, it breathes life as it releases the music it was entrusted with.’ We’re not sure about the last bit - bit poetic, that - but we were very interested in reading this: - nerdy, but satisfying to those whole love moles and polymers.

We’ve donned our shopkeepers’ aprons and polished the tills for our newly-crammed shop, which is now home to 18 unique Factoryroad-produced goodies including jewellery, art, bags, adapters and t shirts. So what if it’s not Christmas? You deserve a treat ALL year round.
Orders placed between 2nd and 24th June will be despatched on 25th, as we are working in a far away land until then.

Needless to say Factoryroad is right behind this relatively new movement showing Big Love for record stores. Here’s some bumpf from their website explaining what they’re all about:
The original idea for Record Store Day was conceived by Chris Brown, and was founded in 2007 by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Carrie Colliton, Amy Dorfman, Don Van Cleave and Brian Poehner as a celebration of the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the USA, and hundreds of similar stores internationally.
This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, djs spinning records and on and on. Metallica officially kicked off Record Store Day at Rasputin Music in San Franscisco on April 19, 2008 and Record Store Day is now celebrated the third Saturday every April.
Record Store Day is currently managed by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Scott Register, and Carrie Colliton. Folks wanting to contact Record Store Day are encouraged to email us at information@recordstoreday.com
NOTE:
A Record Store Day participating store is defined as a physical retailer whose product line consists of at least 50% music retail, whose company is not publicly traded and whose ownership is at least 70% located in the state of operation. (In other words, we’re dealing with real, live, physical, indie record stores—not online retailers or corporate behemoths).

After the love and success of our black dinks (45 rpm adapters) from stores and 7″ fans alike, we’ve decided to introduce colours into the range!
We felt compelled to start with a lovely warm red and hope to make up a rainbow of colours over the coming months, so music lovers will be able to choose what colour dink to have with their coloured label/vinyl, it’s all about the colour co-ordination!!
They will be available in Japan within the next few days through DMR and they’ll be distributed to record stores nationally and internationally by ST Holdings in the next few weeks!

DJ Fuckabout is Ed Garland from Bristol. Lie down somewhere dark and cool and wait for this to bang your neurons together. You can expect drum’n'bass in rude health, no avant garde, just exquisite classics neatly sutured together.

At last, after all the blood, sweat…well, just waiting and talking actually, we’ve received our first consignment of Factoryroad 45 rpm adapters (dinks) from the manufacturer.
Phew! what a relief. It feels so good, to have them after all this time. So, we’ll be packaging them up for people to buy and sorting our final prices very soon.
We’re already in talks with a couple of distributors so we hope to get these out to your local stores as soon as possible.
If you’re interested in stocking the dinks or buying some for yourself, please feel free to get in touch and we’ll keep you right up to date.
