Plugd Records
Plugd Records is Cork City, Ireland's last independent record store.
Run by Jim Horgan and Albert Twomey (Co-founder of Out On A Limb Records), Plugd not only sells records and CDs but also acts as an intimate venue and an important hub for Cork's currently thriving alternative music scene.[1]
Originally based on Washington Street, Plugd temporarily sold music from An Realt Dearg (local pub - now called The Gateway) before relocating to the former ESB substation on Caroline Street. Eventually Plugd Records found a new home on the first floor of the Triskel Arts Centre, Tobin Street (Cork) with its sister café, Gulpd, located on the ground floor.[2]

gollark: I mean, *firm/user* ones should at least be based on their income or something.
gollark: The problem isn't alts. The problem is that the system is broken. In real economies, trading on two "accounts" at once wouldn't do anything.
gollark: I could run a much smaller-scale *similar* thing just using the price craziness.
gollark: No, it's a consequence of a somewhat weird feature and the extremely weird price mechanism.
gollark: Also, "it's generally broken and we'll randomly wipe it" sounds more pre-alpha than beta.
