Gonzo’s Top Picks for RSD 2012
Although Record Store Day is now five years strong, 2010 was the first year that I formally recognized the holiday, and 2011 was the first year that I fully indulged. Record Store Day seems to grow each year. Artists and labels dish out increasing amounts of exclusive releases, and a growing number of customers happily part with some of their hard earned pay to snag these collectibles, while supporting their local shops. The RSD release list is now one of my most highly anticipated moments in the […]
Cassandra’s Top Picks for RSD 2012
RSD List 2012 Ah, Record Store Day, the day I have to stop buying albums a month in advance for. Not that in the previous two years I celebrated it I spent a ridiculous amount of money, but I’m always prepared for a hole in my wallet to appear after exploring the bins of new and old vinyl treasures. I must admit, I’m not even sure the record player I have works. But that doesn’t stop me from buying vinyl […]
Jesse’s Top Picks For RSD 2012
Record Store Day is just a couple days away!! Jesse wants you to know what to buy…or what to avoid so he can buy.
The Viewfinder: Arctic Monkeys’ “R U Mine?”
To quote my wife: “If this is what happens after extended exposure to Josh Homme, I approve.” I think she’s talking more about Alex Turner’s new look than the song but I agree nonetheless. At this point, the Padawan Learner is soon going to exceed his Jedi Master in all things rawk and “R U Mine?” is the proof. My problem with Arctic Monkeys is that their recorded output is uneven for such an amazing band. Their last album, Suck […]
The New Blerd Radio-Episode 3: May Flowers (Almost)
Episode 3 is in the books and on our latest podcast, Mike and Jesse discuss pop culture events including the new Beastie Boys album and video, Lady GaGa’s continued stranglehold on pop culture, and the debut of “The Voice”. Also discussed: “Fast 5” (which is out today) and it’s pretty cast, May’s potpourri of album releases, why no one should ever watch the first 10 minutes of “Up” , the rumored follow-up to “Garden State”, and Jesse gets the package […]
Blerd Radio Episode 2: Record Store Day?
This, folks, is a tale of two shows. Initially, what I’d planned in order to celebrate (however belatedly) Record Store Day, was a reunion of some of the cast that provided my first employment experience at Tower Records. That place was certainly not at a loss for characters. So the time came to record the show…and none of my Tower friends called in. So, the first half of the show is pretty much me improvising. I talk a little about […]
Why Record Stores Matter
In the interests of full disclosure for those who read this blog and don’t know exactly who I am, I work in the music industry. Prior to the job I currently hold, I worked for various music retailers in several different positions. I’m pretty fortunate to be able to work in a field that I love. Even if I hadn’t chosen this particular career path for myself, though, record stores would still hold a very important place in my life. […]
