Hey Y’all,

We hope that you are well rested and well fed from the holiday festivities. Just to let you know, we sure are and now we have a little present for you, our loyal troops. Before we get to that you may have noticed that this update is a day early and the long winding road of text that usually follows our yammering is absent. Well, we’re giving the new release update the week off this time around so you can dig into that present we were talking about. And away we go!

PMO customers will receive 10% off any order placed & shipped this week, Monday, December 29th through Friday, January 2nd. The discount will be taken on your final invoice and we will email you your discounted total when we're ready to ship. Please note: A majority of our suppliers are closed for the Holidays so this sale applies to in stock items only, or titles we can make appear out of thin air (you'd be surprised). Send us your lists and we'll do our best.

Don't sweat the technique,

Roy & Paul

Parasol Mail Order Pick of the Week

Mattias Hellberg & The White Moose "Out of the Frying Pan" CD ON SALE: $15.00
New album from Mattias Hellberg (Hederos & Hellberg, Nymphet Noodlers, Hellacopters, etc) with a retrofit rhythm section setting an anachronistic tone. From spliff-fueled sixties garage-rock period pieces (think Dungen, TSOOL, The Works) to a handful of sweltering, sun-baked, seventies-styled psychedelic jams (as in one might enjoy them while totally baked, in the sun), interspersed with some Maximum White Moose Jazz. Unwind, uncork, undress and yes, light that candle.
