Earlier this week a video was released by On The Move With Reco Hill – a new local video series which has mostly featured video interviews orchestrated by Reco Hill and filmed by Elijah Settles.
The new video is of some featured performances by some newer up-and-coming local hip hop artists, entitled the “OTM Freshman Class 2020 Cypher.” It was filmed inside of our own space (the closest thing we have had to a show here since March), and you can check that out streaming on the player embedded below. Also check out the On The Move With Reco Hillyoutube page for more videos right here.
We have a lot happening for this “Virtual Cash Mob” live video that’s going on tomorrow at noon, and we realize that a lot of you might be confused or have no idea what’s going on. That is okay. We are here to try to explain more today.
Here is what you need to know: tomorrow (Thursday) at NOON, there will be a live video on the Downtown Springfield, Inc. facebook page. From there, and also on our own facebook page there will be a link to an online store where we will be listing exclusive deals and products for a limited time. We do not have that link right now, because that store does not go live until noon tomorrow. Don’t worry, if you are following the live stream, there will be links to each product as we list them out and talk about them.
Many of these products will be limited (such as most of the records), so they will be available on a first come-first serve basis. Other products there are more than one of (such as orange tie-dye t-shirts, which we printed ten of) (but still fairly limited).
It might be handy to have our online store pulled up on a computer, and the live video playing from a separate tab or phone screen. (Just a little tip, not necessary to participate)!
When you are purchasing an item from us through the cash mob, local pickup, local delivery ($2 extra), and shipping ($4.90) will be an option for most items. These options will be available at checkout.
All of these items will be available for a full 24 hours. So we will leave up everything we don’t sell during the live video on the online store until Friday at noon. After that leftover items will just be going into our store where you can purchase them in person (however some items may have different prices at that point).
So what’s going on for the final round of the PINBALL TOURNAMENT??? The two final businesses going head to head are Prairie Archives and Craft Beer Bar. This will likely happen at 12:30pm, and all apart of the same live video. They will be playing the best two out of three games in BLACKOUT (pinball game) and we have a trophy for the winner. The winner will also be revealing a new pinball game in the arcade.
Welcome to another Tornado Drill Tuesday here at Dumb Records! You know the drill, there are plenty of good new and used LPs, 12″ singles, CDs, and more hitting the shelves.

Yes, our pinball tournament is still going on… and now wrapping up ROUND 4 of the tournament we are now down to the final TWO competing businesses in all of downtown!!! Round 4 featured the non-pinball arcade Asteroids from 1979. Here is what the final scores for this round were:
PRAIRIE ARCHIVES = 28,200 THE PHARMACY = 7,850
OLD STATE CAPITOL = 18,830 CRAFT BEER BAR = 26,030
This means that PRAIRIE ARCHIVES and CRAFT BEER BAR are the ones to move on and go head to head in the final round!!! The final round has been scheduled to be a live video where the two competitors play the best two out of three games, right after our Virtual Cash Mob video at noon on Thursday, October 8th. However now Craft Beer Bar is letting us know this time will not work for them so… we might have to figure something out here. Stay tuned for more!
Local artist Nykeyla Henderson aka “Keyng” has recently dropped a brand new mixtape of new music. This is six new tracks from her, and is called Keyng the Tape. You can find that streaming on the player embedded below. Also check it out on youtube right here.
Nykeyla is also one of the leaders behind the Black People Party of America, a local group “established to bringing the community together one step at a time.”
We’ve also added this one to our Springfield album archive page, making release number 49 we have kept track of so far this year.
It’s another week at our record store, and we are once again recovering from a very busy “Record Store Day” weekend. Apparently we’ve got to do a few more of these yet before the year is over still… one in October and a Black Friday Record Store Day in November. We are trying to get the shelves stocked back up into this week with fresh new and used LPs, 12″ singles, CDs, cassettes, and more. We had plenty of the new Attic Salt record and then sold out right away… hoping to get more back in stock at some point today.

We have some big things planned for the final round, which will be broadcasted live right after our Virtual Cash Mob at noon on Thursday, October 8th.
New song and video from Deezy Da Paperboy alert! Deezy is a Lincoln, Illinois-based hip hop artist who has been very active for the past few years. A couple of days ago he dropped a new song and video for “No Justice” also featuring Alexa Redd, which you can check out on the player embedded below. From the youtube page:
“No Justice” – By Deezy Da Paperboy (feat. Alexa Redd) is a Song about societal inequality, systemic racism, human rights activism and peaceful protest, to help bring about much needed cultural change. its crazy to me, because we recorded this song roughly 2 years ago, and the Relevance today is still just as Pure as when it was inspired, I fight everyday for Equal Justice through out all Race, tax brackets, and cultures, when there is #NoJustice There will be #NoPeace – Deezy Da Paperboy
Also check out our vids/pics page for a long list of other local music videos shot over the years.
Springfield pop punk / indie band Attic Salt have officially released their second full length album, Get Wise, out on Jump Start Records. You can check out the album embedded on the player below, or head on over to the Jump Start bandcamp page where you can purchse the download or order the physical album directly from them.
The album is available on vinyl on black or a very nice looking blue transparent. Believe it or not we thought we were stocked full of these records on Friday the day it was released, and then we ran out right away. The plan is for us to get it re-stocked at some point soon this coming week!
It’s been a long time since we’ve made any “today” or “tonight” at Dumb Records posts. Last month, the first Record Store Day “drop date” was a success and we were able to stick to our own guidelines of masks and limiting the number of people in the store, so we are ready for another one of these today. Today is the second of the three drop dates, which are happening at the end of August, September, and October. For these days we are getting in a number of exclusive Record Store Day releases. We listed out some of them on this post, and you can find some pictured above. Once again we have a more limited amount of these exclusives compared to normal Record Store Days we have participated in in the past.
In addition to those exclusive releases, we plan on putting out some more new and used records onto the shelves for today.
Our store is open today a little bit earlier than normal – we open at 10:00 am and are open until 7:00 pm. Masks are required and we are limiting the number of people in the store to 10.
