We recently started a new Arcade Contest, this time for TURBO (Sega, 1981). This dedicated cabinet is currently on loan from America’s Groove Records. The contest runs until March 15th. Anyone entering the contest gets their very own checkered flag. 1st place gets a custom engraved trophy (arcade entry fee still applies). We’re happy seeing plenty of contestants come through already! I guess if there is something Springfield loves, it’s a good racing game.

This Saturday we’re hosting a Video Game themed Drag Show bringing you everything from Super Mario to Fallout to Skyrim to FNAF to Sonic and probably other things too. Come in cosplay, bring your Nintendo Switch and dust off that Pokemon Go app.

Here are the new vinyl releases coming out this Friday:

– ACE FREHLEY of KISS has a brand new album. He is 72 years old and we should have a couple of different color variants.
– BTS “LOVE YOURSELF” is K-POP group’s 2018 album being issued on white vinyl with some fancy booklet and photos that make it all cost $50 (why do they always have to do this)
– VAN HALEN’s 1993 live album RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW had a first time vinyl release for Record Store Day last year, we sold out and now it’s back being re-pressed once again.
– MGMT are here with a new album “Loss of Life”
– GLITTERER are here with a new album “Rationale”
– Jack White’s other band THE RACONTEURS have a bunch of albums being reissued on 180g vinyl and we stocked up on their 2006 album “Broken Boy Soldiers”.

This week Pepperoni has picked Kids See Ghosts

“This week I picked another hip hop pick. This was a 2018 album and project called “Kids See Ghosts” that rapper Kid Cudi did with his friend.”

One more thing, we stocked new mugs in the store. We think this might be our best mug design yet. You know we’re always sayin if people are looking to get mugged downtown, then come to Dumb Records!
