We had a great time at Record Fair last weekend. Well Brian did anyway, I was in an elephant costume at the time scaring people at Mall Trick or Treat.

The big deal about record fair was Mark Kessler’s personal record collection was up for sale, of Recycled Records fame. The event was pretty well attended and we made an offer and brought home the remainder of the Kessler collection after eveyone had a chance to pick out their own records. So yes we did end up with some Recycled Records, we know how you all like to ask about that.

Looking onward to things going on this week, we have the next Goth Night happening downtown this Thursday. Last Goth Night was a huge hit and lots of people came out fully dressed and ready to dance. We expect this to be much the same, plus zombies.

It’s a big Friday with lots of new record releases!
– TYLER THE CREATOR “CHROMAKOPIA” – every mom and grandma was coming in with crumpled up pieces of paper with this written on it last year for Christmas and we never had it, but now we will!! Finally a widely available physical release!
– TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE original soundtrack!! On milky clear and black ice vinyl!
– NEW ORDER gets re-issues for four of their studio albums 1981-1986!! This includes “Movement,” “Power Corruption And Lies”, “Low-Life” and “Brotherhood”!
– Hip hop duo CLIPSE with their album released earlier this year “Let God Sort Em Out” which we were out of copies of immediately is already getting a re-issue. We will be prepared this time, and this one has a bonus track!
– HAMILTON: 10 SHOTS, it’s 10 tracks from the musical! Out on indie store exclusive purple vinyl.
– oh yeah and Rhino’s ROCKTOBER reissue series continues and we will have everything being released Friday as part of it! This includes STOOGES “Alternate Funhouse” and also Warren Zevon’s “Excitable Boy”. I know there’s a ton of ZZ Top coming in as well as part of that.

This week Pepperoni picks Paramore

“My pick this week is PARAMORE and their 2007 album “RIOT!” This is mid-2000’s pop punk gold as far as I’m concerned. Hayley Williams was my celebrity crush in middle school, I had braces and a Paramore sown-on patch on my book bag. “Misery Business” is their biggest hit on this one. Enjoy!”

“P.S. OH YEAH, we WILL have copies of Hayley’s newest solo album at both stores “Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party” when it comes out on November 7th!”

The Addams Family pinball contest is still going till Nov 11, so plenty of time left to get a big score up! Here is our current top scorer, but it could be anyone’s game just yet!
