RSD is coming up quick, even the mailman is excited. We printed bags and shirts with our exclusive RSD 2026 design. Each store will have 50 of each for the first 100 people in line.

We just published on Facebook all the titles where we only received 1 copy and which store to find those. Titles not on the list will be available at both stores. People can start lining up at the mall starting no earlier than 5am. People can start lining up downtown whenever. Also coffee and donuts will be available downtown.

If you’re coming to the mall to line up, the line will at this entrance (pictured) next to Simon Youth Learning Academy.

Something brand new we’re offering this time is our first actual Dumb Recs Plushies! You can get your own stuffed Pepperoni and Green Elephant!

This Sunday we’re hosting Park, Spitalfield, and Danny Stevens. You’ll want to get your tickets in advance

This week Pepperoni picked Mac Demarco

“I have not yet picked an album from Canadian musician boy Mac DeMarco. This is his second album “Salad Days” from 2014. This was actually recorded in his New York apartment, on a Fostex A-8 recording machine, I guess really giving it that lofi bedroom feel. This is some indie, jangly type rock. Make you feel good. Pick up a copy at Dumb Records or Dumber Records today!”

We had fun hosting our first sanctioned pinball tournament last weekend with the Pokemon Launch Party. We had 22 contestents show up, many driving in from out of town to get those sweet IFPA and PRPA points.

Brian ended up winning it, beating out many top state pinballers. Kat Davis came in 2nd and Chris O’Brien 3rd. Not that winning is that big a’deal. Anything can happen during a tournament and even if you don’t end up winning, hanging out with other pinball nerds is a lotta fun.

We’re going to make this a monthly thing so stay tuned for the next pinball tournament announcement.

Speaking of that, this Saturday is our first truly sanctioned pinball launch party and tournament, celebrating our new Pokemon pinball machine. This tournament will allow participants to bank points for the big pinball tournament orgs IFPA and PRPA. Should be a good time, warmups and registration start at 6 and tournament starts at 7. there will be at least 5 rounds of qualifying followed by the finals.

Also this show is happening this week on Thursday downtown.

• LAUFEY is here with the deluxe version of her latest album “A Matter Of Time,” this is “A Matter Of Time: The Final Hour” and it’s on a yellow/green/blue colored vinyl.
• Reissues from THE CRAMPS for their 1980 and 1981 albums “Songs The Lord Taught Us” and “Psychedelic Jungle”

This week Pepperoni picked Jimmy Buffett

“Uhhhh… coconut? It’s a beautiful day in Margaritaville, aka Dumb Records where we have as many copies of Jimmy Buffett’s greatest hits as you could possibly need! Park your boats outside (it’s free parking on the street, just two hour parking) and come on in you Parrot-heads. This has 13 tracks of Jimmy’s greatest. From “Cheeseburger In Paradise” to “Volcano” enjoy!

Meanwhile, Scott has put together a new crate of waaaay out there records at the mall for everyone to check out.

Sorry, Too Many Pisces

We had our largest show every last week with HAYWIRE. It was so big we had to split it into 2 shows. Also last week we had a great Harry Styles listening party at the mall. Here you can see we dimmed the lights for all the kissing.

Tonight we have this death grind show happening downtown. Probably not much kissing happening at that one.

Friday at the Mall we have our next new album listening party with Johnny Blue Skys. We’ve also added BTS to the calendar for next week too!

Here are the new hot and fresh vinyls dropping this Friday

– STURGILL SIMPS.. I mean JOHNNY BLUE SKIES is BACK with another album! We have a release party for this one on Friday at 6pm at the mall! “Mutiny After Midnight” is what it is called. The indie exclusive vinyl is red and we’re actually very limited on the copies of those we are getting (we will be saving them for the party).
– TATE MCRAE “So Close To What?? Deluxe” clear vinyl double LP! The expanded version of her album from last year.
– American rock band THE BLACK CROWES almost snuck by us with a new album without us noticing! We only had time to order the black vinyl last minute. “A Pound Of Feathers.”
– Legendary metalcore band CONVERGE is here with a new album “Love Is Not Enough” and we should have the indie exclusive gold vinyl.
– Chicago indie rock band BRIGETTE CALLS ME BABY is back with their second album “Irreversible” and we will have copies on white vinyl.

This week Pepperoni picked Eminem again

“Who likes rap music? Who wants me Pepperoni to do a little rap right now? (Just kidding). No but okay, it’s time that we beef up our Eminem section now, and I’m not just talking about the colorful coated candies. I’ve picked “Encore” before, now it’s time to take it slightly further back in time to Eminem’s most commercially successful album “The Eminem Show,” released in 2002 (24 years ago). This thing has the hits “Without Me,” “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” “Superman,” and of course “Sing For The Moment.” In 2002 this was number one on the charts for 6 weeks straight. A lot of it went in the rap rock direction, it’s got features from Dr. Dre, D12, Nate Dogg, etc., you all know that this is a hit.”

This week we got Pokemon pinball! Stern’s newest title and probably the best new pinball theme to come out in a while. Using the Stern Insider Connect tool on your phone, you can save your progress and continue capturing pokemon from game to game. Build your pokedex with the 183 pokemon that have launched for this machine, plus all the others which will get released over time. Also keep an eye out for the official pinball launch party and tournament we will be hosting in April!

What a busy week it’s been, and it’s only Wednesday. A couple days ago, Brian Lee of Brian Lee Carpentry and Gold Pan Records stopped by to deliver a new record shelf we ordered. What a guy!
