Our online operations will continue – and we are offering local pickup, local delivery, and shipping options on our storenvy and discogs online stores. Check those out linked below:
We will be back tomorrow with more info on how we are going to be handing Black Friday Record Store Day 2020, which is less than two weeks away on November 27th, 2020.
For curbside delivery orders, we are going to be open and available that at our downtown location from noon – 6pm every day.
We’re well into November now – today is 11-11 in fact, so that means we have a brand new issue of Activator Magazine available for free in our store.
This issue features long-running hip hop artist Cornbread featured on the cover! Cornbread has a new album coming out later this month. This issue is also jam-packed with other content, as always. As usual, there are plenty of write-ups on new local and also national releases. You can find interviews with “The Truth Council” a Central Illinois prog/rock band, “The Lettermans” – pop punk from Philadelphia, “Searching For Silence”- a metal group from Peoria, “Black Mountain” from St. Louis, and also an interview with Jesica Knight-Carnes about First Try Sessions. All of that and much, much more!
You can find issues of Activator Magazine for free at our store and various other local businesses around town. Also consider checking out Activator’s Patreon page and donating to them online!

Do you got 2 rock? Sometimes we all got 2 rock. Today we bring you a brand new EP from local sound artist Timothy Donavan Russell. This one is called Got 2 Rock. It’s four new “sort of dance” songs from Timothy. Head on over to his bandcamp page where you can download the release for free and also find more music!
And you bet we have included this one on our Springfield album archive page, bringing us to 54 local releases we have kept track of so far this year!
Today we bring you some brand new, very interesting local music from a new project called “Headbug”! This new release by Headbug is called Pain Pill and you can find it streaming on the player below. Headbug is from the same artist(s?) involved with the “X-E-A” and Rootbound projects that have come out with some creative music and sounds in recent years. From the bandcamp page:
“Headbug seeks to blend spoken word lyrics, jazz-inspired musical arrangements, and glitchcore aesthetics as they explore a cerebral digital hellscape.”
You can also head over to the Headbug bandcamp page to download the album at your own price. The X-E-A facebook page also has a full claymation video for the second song on the album! Yes, we have added this to our Springfield album archive page, bringing us to 53 local releases we have kept track of so far this year.
Jacksonville, Illinois – based psychedelic project The Dixie Narcos have blessed us yet again with two more new tracks. Those songs are called “Compulsion” and “Called You When You Went Away” and you can stream both of those on seperate players embedded below. According to the Dixie Narcos youtube page both of these songs will be on an upcoming album entitled Jenny.
The Dixie Narcos are constantly putting out new music – they already have two full length albums under their belts this year alone which includes Nantucket 1: Mr. Nantucket and Nantucket 2: Charley.
Warning: the album art pictured above is pretty extreme. Warning: the music that goes along with it is also pretty extreme, extremely black metal. This is GARGANTUAN, the mysterious and dark black metal project that recently emerged from the depths somewhere here in town, and today (or a couple of days ago, on Halloween) Gargantuan unleashed it’s debut full length album to the world. You can stream that album on the player embedded below. Also head on over to the Gargantuan bandcamp page where you can download the full album at your own price right here.
We have also added this one to our Springfield album archive page for this year, putting us at 52 local releases that have come out in 2020 we have kept track of so far.
Happy Tuesday! It’s a tornado drill Tuesday AND election day. You should go vote. Aside from all of that stuff that’s going on out there in the world, we once again have some big fat stacks of new and used LPs, 12″ singles, CDs, and cassettes hitting the shelves at Dumb Records once again this week.

Who’s ready for something new? We’re talkin’ a new band, a new song, AND a new video to go with it. It’s a new band being BACKED by our Dumb Records house band “Witch Bucket.” The new band is called “Balki Bros” (the animatronic band that was already on stage is called Witch Bucket, okay we know this is already getting confusing). Balki Bros is a new band and here they are performing their song “South Fork Slide” on OUR stage with OUR house band “Witch Bucket” backing them. (Witch Bucket is completely Covid-proof and safe, we can not say the same thing for Balki Bros, but either way we are still not close to the point where it is safe to have shows). Check all that out on the player embedded below!
Also check out our vids/pics page for more music videos shot over the years. Balki Bros don’t have any more recorded music or anything else out there, this is all you get.
Many of you out there wanted us to put on a pinball tournament for all of the millions of non-business owner people out there in the world. Well, we can’t do that (especially during a pandemic), but maybe this is the next best thing.
Throughout the month of November we are holding a contest in our game, specifically for the game Ghosts N’ Goblins (which is a game on the Joust arcade machine). How fun! The highest scorers on this game throughout the month of November will get bragging rights and some prizes:
Second highest score will receive a $20 Dumb Records gift card.
Third highest score will receive a Dumb Records t-shirt.
This contest is open to everyone, however normal arcade rules still apply. We are going back to limiting occupancy to 4 this month, masks required. To enter our arcade it is $5 entry, or free with a purchase of $10 or more in our store.
For some helpful tips and tricks on this game or some discussion, you might want to check our underground pinball forum. We will announce the winners at the end of the month and keep track of the high scorers on a board somewhere inside our store. Good luck!
