The Record Store Day folks are having another one of their semi-annual Vinyl Saturday events on, um, Saturday, across the United States and perhaps even in parts of Canada – we didn’t get a chance to check in with our Canadian neighbors on that point. Perhaps coincidentally, our pal Pete at Blue Arrow Records is […]

Wanted: Bruce Springsteen Record Store Day 7 inch
So check this out. I’m not sure that Cleveland indie retailers realized what a hot item the Bruce Springsteen 7″ Record Store Day single would be. I was one of the first people in the door at Music Saves, made a beeline straight for the S section of their RSD exclusives, and any copies that […]

If the goal is to leave ’em wanting more, […]

Listening Party: Check out new releases from Queensrÿche and Jane’s Addiction
It’s been a brutally busy week here in Vinylland, which is Vinyl-speak for “the real world has been kicking my ass this week.” As usual, it’s been the music helping me to maintain my alleged sanity, including a trip back to 1997 with the Dog’s Eye View album Daisy, paired with lots of new music, […]
