A Lifetime in a Month

ROOOOAAAARRRR!!!

Oh. My. Goodness. It has been too long. The past month has been a dizzying cacophony of awesomness and hard work, and we have emerged victorious (finally) in a new space, with a new partner, and ready again to service your music needs in DTR at full-throttle. Check out my totally random list of what's been going over the past month!

1. Obviously, the big news is: we are no longer located at 914 S 3rd in Renton--instead, you will find TRx at 924 S 3rd in Renton. We have moved inside our favorite indie craft haven, Happy Delusions, and we are trying to be careful to not damage all the rad stuff in the store during random bouts of rocking--which we have been prone to since birth. Please wish us luck. Come by and say 'Hello'!

2. Our selection has gotten richer and fuller! The selection of used vinyl is growing weekly and cycling nicely (check it often for your favorites on vinyl!), and the selection of new music is growing as well, augmented most recently by new titles from Sub Pop and our newest direct partner, Kanine Records (may I suggest Viernes' new album on Kanine, Sinister Devices?--it's super-good!)!

3. We are looking forward to lots of exciting possibilities in the coming 2-4 weeks, including (but not limited to) August's First Friday, featuring music-centric arts/crafts from the always-amazing crew of Happy Delusions; and a possible live-remote radio broadcast from the good folks at KGRG!

4. Friends of the store, The Head and the Heart, have released their beautiful first album. We are so excited for them and hope to be able to offer the release soon for retail!

5. Summer has arrived! (Duh.)

6. All kinds of great, wonderful, uber-fantastic things are happening--so many I can't even wrap my mind around it enough to write any more here! You'll have to pardon my giddiness.

So get out, enjoy the weather, enjoy great tunes--don't forget to stop by and say "Whaddup?" to your friendly friends at Tyrannosaurus Records!

See you soon--
