Lookout! Yes, our store is closed this entire week, and who knows how long after that, but we are still putting out plenty of great new and used LPs, CDs, and more onto the shelves!!

Black Friday 2020 November 27th at Dumb Records (or Online)

We’ve been keeping quiet about Black Friday Record Store Day which is coming up in just ten days now, because we’ve been trying to figure out the best way to approach this day, which is a hard thing to do when the future is always so unpredictable during these times.

Black Friday RSD is happening on Friday, November 27th the day after Thanksgiving as it is every year. This is usually the second biggest day of the year for our store, next to Record Store Day which usually takes place in April. This RSD event is going to be a big one for us because it is the first that we have ordered absolutely every exclusive release on “the list”. This includes over 130 different exclusive titles, which is too many for us to even list out below this time!! For that complete list along with photos and more info on each one, you can head over to the Record Store Day website right here.

As of right now, here’s how we are approaching this day: we WILL have our store open and limit the occupancy inside to 5 customers at a time. This means there will likely be a line you will have to wait in outside. We will be open on this day from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm. Then, online we will be offering 25% discounts on our regular Dumb Records mech items on our storenvy page. If you are local and place an order online through our online store, we will also be waving our delivery fees for that day. We are unable to run a sale on our Discogs page unfortunately, but we will be waving usual local delivery fees on that page for that day as well. We will also be listing whatever exclusive releases that we can on our storenvy and Discogs page later on in the day. (Our RSD pledge states that we can not do this until 1:00 pm, and we probably won’t be able to until later). This all may seem a little hectic, but we will be working hard this day and doing our best to make sure we have all of our RSD exclusives available one way or another!

We Are Temporarily Closing Our Physical Store (And Arcade) Again.

Whoops! This is not an easy thing for us to do, but at this point in time with cases of COVID-19 spiking in our area and continuing to be so much on the rise, we have decided the appropriate thing for us to do is to shut down our physical store and arcade for the time being.

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:

https://dumbrecords.storenvy.com/
https://www.discogs.com/seller/dumbrecords/

We encourage you all to stay home during these times to help slow the spread of this dreaded disease! This is not an easy time for any of us. We’ll be back again someday. Until then, feel free to hang out with us on our underground music, pinball, and movie forum as we all wait for Mitch Baker to tell us what movie to watch.

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.

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!

Headbug: “Pain Pill”

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.

The Dixie Narcos: “Compulsion” / “Called You When You Went Away”

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.

Gargantuan: “Upon The Golgothan Plains”

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.
