<b><span style="color: black;">Greetings Customers, we are happy to announce that we have updated our website and mail order shopping experience. It’s still a work in progress but we think you’ll find it to be more functional and pleasing to the eye. You can find it at <a href="http://sakistore.net/" target="_blank">sakistore.net</a>. This new site will act as our mail order store, as well as the hub for all info about saki, the brick-and-mortar retail store, ie. events listings, store hours, etc. This blogspot account will still exist, but we will post most updates on our new blog!<br />
<br />
If you had an account with us through our old mail order site, you will need to create a new account on this site, which you can do by clicking on 'account' at the top right of the page. <u>As a thank you to all of our customers we're offering some special promos for using our new site this month. Use the code '15FIRST' at checkout for 15% off your first order, or '20OFF100' for 20% off orders of $100 or more (also only good for your first order)! Both discount codes expire on December 31st.</u><br />
<br />
Here are some of the features you can find on our new site:<br />
<br />

<br />
As you can see in the screenshot above (from the top left of the new page), you can search our entire catalog, or narrow down your search by specific 'collections,' including our Exclusive Labels (distributed by Carrot Top Distribution), In-Stock Vinyl, Sale Items, and our featured new and upcoming releases, still referred to for the time being as 'Fresh Baby Carrots' (because Carrot Top Dist., get it...).<br />
<br />
You can also see above that there are links to <u>'The Distro</u>' which will take you to Carrot Top's site if you're a distro customer looking for further info on our distributed titles. You can also go to <u>'The Blog'</u> which will take you to our new blog with stuff like the weekly newsletter, employee picks, Best Of lists, special event info, long and annoying diatribes about the state of the record industry, etc. Basically the same things you would find on our old Blogspot blog. There are also links for info about Used Buying and our Epitonic saki Sessions, which we no longer do, but you can still stream and download them for free!<br />
<br />

<br />
The 'Featured Listen' section (found near the bottom left of the new page) is where you can here some new music that we're particularly excited about. This section may feature individual tracks, playlists, and even full album streams. Don't worry, we'll be sure to make announcements in our weekly newsletter, and on social media, whenever we make exciting changes to that section.<br />
<br />
*** Right now you can <u>stream Nadia Reid's incredible <i>Listen to Formation, Look For The Signs</i> in its entirety, courtesy of <a href="http://www.scissortailrecords.com/" target="_blank">Scissor Tail Records</a>! This full album stream will only be available through Friday, December 11th.</u> ***<br />

<b>Post-rock foursome Pretend have been playing and writing music
together on the California coast for over a decade now. This confident
sophomore release sees them writing arrangements seemingly influenced by
the Pacific itself, with songs that gently wash in and evolve into
cacophonous tidal waves and back again.</b><b><br /></b>
<b>This is an album that is confident in taking its time. Clocking in at
ninety minutes and featuring no single track under five, a collection
of potential singles this isn't. <i>Tapestry'd Life</i> is a tantric
experience, a record to be enjoyed in its entirety and with your full
attention. Sitting on a beach at night with the tide coming in wouldn't
hurt, either.</b></div>

Clarke's 'Pizza Astronaut' print from our pizza-themed art show was
easily the most popular piece. We've invited Max back for his very own
show, which is up now! If you missed the opening, with sets from Wet
Wallet and Max's band, The Cut Worms, you should be very upset about it.
It was an awesome time! Max's pieces will be up all month and he's in
the process of relocating to New York. Let's help him move!</b></span><br />

Gang of Four's 1981 sophomore album is easily overlooked by casual fans of the band. <i>Entertainment!</i>, their debut, is immediately catchy enough for some fans to just groove to it and ignore the scathing, sardonic lyrics. <i>Solid Gold</i>, however, does away with the hooks and dives deep into the dubby, angular grooves. The lyrics still bite, but they waiver from ennui to bitter disappointment, and rather than shouting along to the beat, now they're just straight up shouting.<br />
It's not surprising that the band changed lineups and direction pretty drastically after this album. The band members were clearly fed up with a lot of things, not the least of which being their musical direction and careers. You COULD argue that <i>Solid Gold</i> lacks something that <i>Entertainment!</i> has in spades, but then you'd be neglecting a really good album just because it's not as good as the one that came before it, which is one of the greatest albums of all time. Don't do that. That's silly. <i>Solid Gold</i> is awesome!</b></div>

Max Clarke's 'Pizza Astronaut' print from our pizza-themed art show was easily the most popular piece. We've invited Max back for his very own show, which will open on the 24th. We'll have the usual food and drinks, plus live sets from Max's band The Cut Worms, as well as Wet Wallet! We'll be hanging Max's show soon, so stop in if you want to catch a sneak peek.</b></span><br />

Holy Moly, this is some feel-good music! This is Al Green's first album without the Hi Rhythm Section and producer Willie Mitchell, and the first time Al would play lead guitar on one of his records.<br />
<br />
It's also the last of Al's 70's secular albums, although much of the Belle Album is pretty clearly about The Lord. Lest the religious lyrical content scare you off, just know that this album is groovy as hell. Al is in top form and doing just fine on his own in the studio.<br />

There's good reason that this is called <i>The Belle Album</i>. The opening tracks sets the tone so well that it really couldn't have been called anything else. Throw it on, feel good, that is all.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Collecting all of Stone Flower's singles, plus some previously unreleased tracks, <i>I'm Just Like You</i> is a satisfying listen on the surface. It's also a behind-the-scenes peak of sorts for Sly Stone's transition from the over-the-top, mostly good time funk bandleader of the late 60's, to the more introspective and world weary studio wizard he became in the early 70's. Some of the tracks found here (and not just the demos) have an ephemeral feel. Even if they weren't the culmination of an idea, they are still a fascinating portrait of a monster artist and producer in process, as well as the only document for a few stellar acts who never did much of anything outside of their tenure with Stone Flower.</span></span></b>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Michael Hurley is a weirdo for the regular people. His music is not in-accessible, but it is marked with just enough eccentricity to be considered 'weird' by some. That hasn't stopped many other artists from gaining wider-scale popularity, but Hurley's music has always stalwartly lacked polish. He has always (at least apparently) done his own thing, crafting his own peculiar sound in the 'outsider' folk community, and even (perhaps most endearingly) creating his own quaint and charming lexicon, both verbally and visually.<br />
<br />
On this, his first <i>true</i> album, Hurley sets forth his mission statement with sometimes jaunty, and sometimes somber songs of silly little loves, sympathetic werewolves, biscuits and tea, and his ever-present hand-drawn artwork. It's a must-own for fans of Nick Drake, Van Morrison, Karen Dalton, or anyone who's ever considered themselves a fan of folk music, especially those who've been labeled (or labeled themselves) a 'weirdo.' Michael Hurley gets it.</b></span></span><br />
