This week Pepperoni picked this Queen greatest hits album
“This week it’s QUEEN – not the first greatest hits, but “Greatest Hits II” – a double LP, seventeen songs spanning the entire second half of the band’s career which truly was as jammed-packed with his as their first half. These are mostly 80’s Queen songs – including “Under Pressure,” “Radio Ga Ga,” “I Want To Break Free,” and the list goes on. Queen is a band so good and monumental that they have THREE greatest hits. (The third one was released in 1999 after Freddy’s death and included material from members solo careers and also collaborations the band did).
Oh yeah! Did you know that every week our neighbors downtown at The Cats’ Pyjamas Cat Cafe have been raffling off my featured pick? They listen to the album and draw winners every Sunday and you can enter the raffle throughout the week! Big shoutout for our neighbors for adding to the fun of picking an album every week!”
Even tho we’re very very very very busy with the Christmas shopping season, Jeff has to go and trade out more games in the arcade. Look at this mess. I guess we have 2 new games in the downtown arcade now.
Well hello there, just another week with your ol’ pal Dumb Records. We’re up to our ears with hardcore shows as usual and Steve Albini died. Levitt just announced their new summer lineup of free shows happening every Thursday this summer just a block away from us out on the big lawn, and we just got a huge restock on our turntables, CD players, and whatnots. We’re making some small overdue updates to our PA system. Oh and Stern Pinball just announced their newest title John Wick, which we probably won’t be getting. We also might have just moved in a new arcade machine.
Pepperoni has gone and picked Bloody Sabbath this week
“What’s up, I have to say a special welcome to all of the Deftones fans out there that are new followers to our page, I have no idea why my Deftones pick last week went so viral but I guess there’s a lot of you Deftones fans out there. Have any of you heard of a band called Black Sabbath? I’ve picked close to all of their albums at this point! (The ones with Ozzy anyways, should I pick the others???) This was their 5th studio album “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” originally released in 1973. This is actually the 50th anniversary edition pressed on clear vinyl with black smoke that we have in stock. The title track was a hit, but I love this whole album, especially how weird and synthy they get on “Who Are You?” A must have for any fans of the band or early hard rock or metal!”
Sorry for the cropped pic, here are the new releases coming out Friday May 10th!
– A new album from RAINBOW KITTEN SURPRISE, their fourth studio album called “Love Hate Music Box” out on black and clear vinyl (sorry the picture looks blue) – the third full length album from American hardcore band KNOCKED LOOSE, “You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To” available on black and “indie exclusive” vinyl (we are not sure what color of indie exclusive we are getting) – We have a 10th anniversary edition of STURGILL SIMPSON’s “Metamodern Sounds In Country Music” just black vinyl with new artwork. – ALKALINE TRIO’s 2001 album “From Here To Infirmary” out on red and black splatter vinyl. – KINGS OF LEON with their ninth studio album “Can We Please Have Fun” – YELLOWCARD with “Ocean Avenue Acoustic” on “orange inside of yellow” vinyl.
Gosh it’s time for May shows already?? This Friday we have Indiana hardcore bands D.R.L.N. and Velocity, supported by local hardcore bands Innervision and Adieux. Also first show for new local hardcore band Worldview (these things just keep breeding I guess).
Then Saturday night we have a completely different lineup of hardcore bands DEMSFIGHTINWORDS from Chicago, PREMEDETATED from Quebec??, Come Correct from Ohio, Reaver from Alton and local band Keep.
The list is out, comment and tell us what you want us to order! We order 1 of everything and more on the titles people want. We’ll see you on April 20th with all these exclusive titles at 8am!

This week Pepperoni picked Mort Garsen’s Plantasia
“Spring is right around the corner gang, and this week I chose a nice spring-time pick to get us in a happy mood! That is the 1975 synthy insturmental album “Plantasia” composed by Mort Garson, master of the moog. It’s supposed to be “warm earth music for plants… and the people who love them.” I love plants because I love to try and eat them. I will destroy any plant or flower that I can find. But for some reason these dwarf umbrella plants are the only plants I don’t like to eat and completely destroy so that’s why they are the only two plants left living in my record store. Enjoy!”
