Loner Deluxe – new “cassingle” Long Shore Drift
What you may need to know…
01. Since the last time we stopped in with Rusted Rail Records jefe Keith Wallace, he’s put together a third in a series of digital “cassingles” under the pseudonym Loner Deluxe.
02. Entitled Long Shore Drift, the whole enterprise was inspired by a trip to a remote island off the west coast, and slowly developed from there into tunes for imagined, abandoned spaces.
03. Streaming above is the video for lead-off track Moon Dunes, animated by Galway studio Tiny Epics. It’s a sequel to Deluxe’s last vidjo.
04. Long Shore Drift is streaming and available for download now at Rusted Rail’s Bandcamp.
VERDICT: Beatsier than previous outings, but with no less emphasis on spacey noises or atmosphere.
Apparently there’s not one but four species of giraffe.
Four.
*thud*
Recent analysis of giraffe DNA shows the distinction between these four different species (which don’t mate with one another) to be as pronounced as the difference between brown bears and polar bears.
Who knew?
No one, that’s who.

HMV Henry Street’s Twitter this afternoon.
Hilco Capital, the parent company of HMV Ireland and Xtravision shut up shop on the former at the end of last month, and have apparently gone into liquidation the night before they were due to settle up with staff.
This is not the workers’ first rodeo with HMV.
Meanwhile…
So that’s labels, bands and now staff shafted by HMV Ireland https://t.co/1fbkbixB6Y

…and HMV Limerick staff have spoken on their treatment by Hilco to the ‘sheet.
“It was first of all hard to hear that your job was gone, but the promise of a redundancy payment from HMV made that a bit easier and would have given people a bit of breathing room financially, while looking for new employment.With that now delayed it makes this a very difficult time for the staff that put Trojan work in right to the end, as we always did, to ensure the store closures went as smoothly as possible.”
Brendan Miller
“As well as that I think it’s the fact that a conscious decision was made by HMV Ireland/Hilco to lie to its employees and promise them a timely redundancy which was never going to be paid out. That was to ensure we were not in a position to use any leverage against them to ensure we got paid.”

More as we get it.
