Burnside Open--alternate entry
The sky is not falling. Parts of the facade above the entry at the downtown PDX store began falling onto the sidewalk last week...big concrete chunks. There is now a barrier basically around the ROCK (no pun intended) side entrance so you don't get bonked on the head. Please enter through the far west doors...the ones regulars know as the "VINYL" entrance, or the JAZZ & CLASSICAL. You can walk thru the inside passageway for now from there to get to the cd/rock side.
Sorry for the inconvenience. It should only be a couple of days. And look up.

Win a cool Invisible Hands art pillow!
Stop in the Seattle store and enter to win this HANDMADE throw pillow featuring the back cover art on the new Invisible Hands!
THE INVISIBLE HANDS is the English translation of the band's original Egyptian Arabic name: El Ayadi El Khafeyya. Taking almost two years to create amidst an unusual and challenging backdrop, this is the brand new project of ALVARIUS B. (ALAN BISHOP of SUN CITY GIRLS). Eleven highly-crafted new songs projected through his typically dark lens of songwriting and a band of brilliant musicians from Cairo, the premier, self-titled CD version of this album is the English language vocals edition (see below) delivered in AB's patented sinister style; drenched in lovely psychedelic folk arrangements and vocal choruses with a nod to what could have potentially been an album that surfaced decades ago but instead found its way into the future superimposed over historic and tumultuous times in the center of the Arab world. The group was established during the summer of 2011 and the album was recorded in Cairo in May of 2012. Band members include CHERIF EL MASRI and AYA HEMEDA (both former members of popular Egyptian group ESKENDRELLA) with drummer MAGUED NAGATI. On a handful of songs, several other players from the Cairo scene are featured including SAM SHALABI (SHALABI EFFECT, LAND OF KUSH) on oud and MOHAMED MEDHAT on violin and viola. All tracks written and sung by Alvarius B. in English. Note: This is the English language CD version of the album. An Arabic language CD version will only be available to purchase in the Middle East. Both English and Arabic language versions will be available for digital download and both versions together will be available as a limited edition 2LP in the very near future.

Downtown Entrance Change
Hey Regulars! We have had to close the passageway between the two big spaces at the downtown store (fire safety). Don't be alarmed! It sucks, but basically now there are just two entrances next to each other and you'll have to exit outside to go between spaces. None of the product has moved, you'll still find on the WEST Side:
CDs:
classical
jazz
new age
easy listening
&
ALL VINYL
On the EAST side:
ALL DVDs plus the following CD categories:
Blues
Country
Comedy & Spoken Word
Electronic
Folk
Gospel
Hip Hop
Kids'
Soundtracks
World Music
You'll have to purchase items or ask an employee to transfer them before leaving either space, though. We don't want it this way, don't ask why it's suddenly changed...the answer is bizarre bureaucratic stuff, but it has to be this way for now.
Thanks for understanding.
