11 Dumb Years

Boy it sure has been cold and snowy around here. Reminds me of the days of warming my hands in a cookie oven which was the only source of heat in the Black Sheep Cafe one year.

During our Anniversary sale we met none other than the voice of Larry the Cucumber from VeggieTales! what an honor. He earned a free t-shirt for being the actual guy.

Here are your hot Friday vinyls!

– MAC MILLER with “Balloonerism” – his 7th studio album, which was recorded sometime between 2013 and 2014 around the time the mixtape “Faces” was released. We will have the indie exclusive white vinyl variant at both locations.
– “Be My Valentine Charlie Brown” (Vince Guaraldi) celebrating it’s 50th anniversary! This might actually be some sort of pink vinyl, we are not sure.
– GLORILLA, the debut album from this American rapper called “Glorious” out on gold vinyl.
– A re-issue of heavy metal band GREAT WHITE’s 1991 album “Hooked”
– The deluxe version of GRACIE ABRAM’s album from last year “The Secret Of Us” will be coming out on double light blue vinyl!

This week Pepperoni picked American Idiot

“The year was 2004. I was in seventh grade. My older cousin had hooked me up with a copy of “Dookie” for my 13th birthday on cassette that I sat in the back of the school bus and played on my walkman for a that whole year. My mom was going to let me stay up late all night to watch the VH1 “making of” Green Day’s music video shoot for “American Idiot” where all of the green slime came out of the American flag, that was so cool. Then she took me to Best Buy that weekend so that I could buy the CD at Best Buy. That was 20 years ago now, so we are all old. This is the 20th anniversary pressing of American Idiot, enjoy!”
