Yahoo - I've eliminated plastic from shop packaging! The vast majority of orders are shipped in padded envelopes made from ♻️ paper, with paper labels stuck down w/ adhesive. No more plastic envelopes & loads of tape.

Some large orders may still see reused air-pillows as I work through the supply.

That's like 3 albums, or one hefty tune collection. Whoa.

It's all about physical media, baby.

Hyperfixating on the classics: Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, & Balzac (in the original French, ofc)

Also grabbed records from Dave Brubeck & one of my favorite French artists, Grande Corps Malade

You can hear their sisterhood in their matching performances and their Clare origins in their tasty repertoire. With a very nice lift in their jigs and a definite modernity in their reels.

Life hack: Buy only Irish butter and use it like cheese. Lay it on in slabs; lay it on with a trowel.

The dream is still alive, for now, in the Irish Alps
Trying to explain the Catskills to my non-Jewish father-in-law and I don’t think I’m doing a good job

It's almost festival season, which means it's time to hit the tunebooks to brush up on a weird version of a common tune so the folks ask you, "where'd you get that setting?" We got you covered at ossianusa.com
