Hot off the press, we’ve been working on our little secret project all this month and it was just recently announced, we’re opening a 2nd location in White Oaks Mall!

This will be located on the 1st floor, near the middle. You’ll find us next to Off the Wall and across from Kay’s.

We’re still running our downtown location. Both stores will have about the same records, CDs and Turntables. Downtown will still host live shows and the arcade like always. Dumber Records in the mall will not have live shows but will be a prime spot for listening parties when hot new albums release! This is something we haven’t tried tackling yet and this will afford us a nice space where more people can spread out and have a relaxing listen. Also we plan for both stores to participate in Record Store Day events including the one coming up on Black Friday! And our mall store does not have a full arcade but will offer Dolly Parton pinball and our Galaga arcade machine completely free to play. Oh and also we have new shirts with our Dumber logo.

It’s been a lot of hard work to get all this done plus Brian getting married all at the same time. We look forward to seeing everyone on opening day this Friday November 1st!

Our mall hours will be: Monday-Thursday 12-7, Friday & Saturday 10-7, Sunday 12-6

In other news, we’re having some troubles with this week’s shipment from our distro so we’re unsure at this time what new Friday releases we’re gonna have just yet. However in all this chaos Pep did find time to pick a new record.

This week Pepperoni picked Freewheelin

“Yes, I heard the big news. That there is going to be a Bob Dylan biopic coming out to theaters this Christmas staring Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan called “A Complete Unknown.” Timothée Chalamet is my big celebrity crush so I will be the first in line at my AMC theater with Chili Bowl Mullet man to see this film. And Bob Dylan? I can’t believe I haven’t picked any of his albums as pick of the week! This one of the most prolific folk artists of the past century, leading the way in the 1960’s folk revival and anti-war movements. (I personally appreciate his song-writing the most and my favorite versions of his songs are oftentimes covers by other artists, such as Peter Paul & Mary). I have not seen the new movie yet of course but I DID see the trailer and it looks as if Bob Dylan’s girlfriend Sylvie Russo played by Elle Fanning plays a big role – I picked early Dylan album “Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan” as my pick this week because it features her on the cover walking with Bob through a snow-covered New York. (Do you think they will re-create this photo in a scene in the movie, I think they will). You KNOW all of the kids are going to be coming in asking for Bob Dylan this holiday season to play on their new turntables that mom and dad bought them from Dumber Records in the mall, so we better be ready!”

The Dumb Records old man has already moved in and made himself comfortable at the mall and somehow there are now two of them.

Oh and there is a hardcore show this Saturday featuring Ablaze, Jagged, Grid, and Totalled but no one sent me the flier. Just imagine a black and white flier with hard to read fonts and probably made in microsoft paint going right here.
