The 1st look at this weeks arrivals. Stock should be arriving on tuesday/wednesday. More will be added soon. Previous lists can be seen in the music archives section to your right.

Here's this weeks list of new releases & restock items, with plenty of both. As well I got some rad old timey merch, with T's & Hoods from bands like Judge, Youth Of Today, Bad Brains, Black Flag & newer groups like It Dies Today, Misery Signals & Coheed & Cambria. All are in mostly small & medium, with a few larges. Don't forget the Legendary Shack Shakers this friday at the Exchange. It'll be amazing! Also just announced are shows by the New Pornographers @ the Distrikt on Oct. 15th & Pretty Girls Make Graves on Oct. 26th @ The Exchange.

Amazingly back on schedule this week. Welcome to all the new subscribers to the weekly email. Please feel free to get back to me with "any" ?????'s you may have regarding this list or other queries regarding the shop. Construction goes on here at X-Ray central as we ready for the forthcoming expansion of the store. My guesstimate for completion is 3-5 weeks, we'll see how close I am. As usual, it's an interesting week for new stock, with new releases from TV On The Radio, Dead Moon (a new 2xcd compilation on Sub Pop), Kamelot, Richard Buckner, Gwar, Mastadon & Tony Joe White, to name a few. A reminder that special orders are more than welcome and actually are a big part of my business so please speak up if you're looking for something that's not in stock. Turnaround time for special orders is usually 2-4 weeks (with some items coming as soon as one week). The Legendary Shack Shakers will be playing @ the Exchange on friday Sept. 22nd and are simply not to be missed. It's a wild mix of rockabilly/roadhouse r'n'r/crazy klezmer polka (weird). Their last cd "Pandelerium" had cameos from Jello Biafra & the Reverend Horton Heat.

All items now in stock. My apologies regarding the lack of descriptive text, but the long weekend really screwed up the shipping (as usual) and I didn't know what was coming until the last minute. I'll include this list next week with more information for these titles. Some are fairly obvious with brand new releases from NoMeansNo, The Mountain Goats, Gov't Mule & others. Once again there's lots of restocking of older titles and a big stack of vinyl. My brick wall came down on the weekend so it shouldn't be too much longer before the store is doubled in size.

Not quite a plane load of cargo, but you know where I'm comin' from. Here's this weeks goodies. New releases from The Dears, M.Ward, Roger Miret & The Disasters, Deicide, Motorhead etc. Restocks from a multitude of decades including a fancy Beach Boys double LP reissue of "Pet Sounds" and cd reissues of Blodwyn Pig & Hot Tuna. The latest from AFI is now in on vinyl & both Neil Hamburger & Hot Snakes have new DVD's & CD's respectively. As well there's a new shipment of T's & Hooded Sweatshirts just in with new stock from Coheed & Cambria, AFI, Shadows Fall, Atreyu, Bob Marley, Beatles, Johnny Cash, Misfits, Zeppelin, Rise Against, RHCP, Tool, Willie Nelson and loads more.

All items listed, now in stock. Please read carefully and act accordingly. A goodly chunk of new releases, peppered with lots of restock items. Another reminder that the store's floor space will be expanding soon and I'm pretty sure we'll be open sunday afternoon's (12-5pm) come September. Detroit Cobras tix are now on sale here @ WOT for the October show at the Distrikt. Guests include King Khan & BBQ. I'm also making a pitch for Community Radio's fund raising pledge week coming up in late September. Set a little aside for one of our city's most entertaining resources and make a financial pledge of support. Thanks for your continued support here at the shop.

Here we go all over again. My head is still reeling from the action packed weekend where I saw not only Steve Earle (Folk Fest- Fantastic), but Ricky Bobby in "Talladega Nights" (a complete pants wetter). I'm over stimulated. Stock wise this week we see some new releases from Supersystem, Golden Smog, The Sadies & The Groovie Ghoulies, and new DVD arrivals like Killwhitneydead, The Meteors, the brand new "Burn To Shine" installment. There's also some new T's & Hooded Sweatshirts from Black Flag, Avenged Sevenfold, Bleeding Through, Sigur Ros & a couple of really funny Willie Nelson T-Shirts. Hope all is well with everyone & I look forward to your next visit. Previous lists can be found in the Music Archives section.

The story so far. This is only about half of what will be coming in this week, but due to one of my suppliers keeping me in the dark regarding one of the shipments, I'm not sure what the other half is. Guess we'll have to wait until it shows up later today to find out. It's kinda like Xmas.

As the city is caught in the grips of "Stones" fever, you'll notice my flagrant & cheesy attempt to cash in by hawking some of their product right up front. No doubt in the upcoming months I'll have other choice merchandise to dangle in front of you. As well there's plenty-o new releases from folks like Kool Keith, The Keene Brothers (Robert Pollard of GBV), The Black Angels, Joan Of Arc & Helmet, Also plenty of restocks and reissues from Robert Fripp, Cro Mags, The Cure & The Young Canadians. DVD's from Siouxsie & The Banshees, No Means No/Hanson Brothers & The Refused and some tasty heavyweight vinyl re-issues from Jimi Hendrix, The Who & Led Zeppelin. Tickets still on sale @ WOT for the upcoming Wolf Parade show at the Exchange. The Folk Festival approaches and there's plenty happening all over town at great clubs like The Distrikt & O'Hanlon's Irish Pub. Please go to the website www.xrayrecords.ca for listings and gossip. Cheers!

All product listed is now in stock. Andre Williams is at the top of the list & rightfully so, it's been awhile since we've heard from him and his new cd is a welcome return. New DVD's from Gwar, Macabre, Johnny Cash (1971 concert), Bob Dylan (4 hour documentary focusing on his Rolling Thunder period) & the new "New York Dolls" documentary called "All Dolled Up".
