We have so much going on right now, one thing is we finally got an official sign up at our mall location so we look like a real store even!

oh yeah there was a parade too

Here are your hot new vinyls plopping out this Friday!
– JAPANESE BREAKFAST with the fourth studio album from this indie pop band, “For Melancholy Brunettes” – we should have the marbled indie exclusive vinyl.
– MY MORNING JACKET with their 10th studio album “Is”. We should also have copies of the indie exclusive variant.
– IT’S THE EASTER BEAGLE, CHARLIE BROWN!?!?!??!?!?
– SELENA GOMEZ and Benny Blanco collaborative album “I Said I Love You First” on that juicy red vinyl.
– SOPHIE “Oil Of Every Pearl’s Un-sides Non-stop Remix Album” Huh? I guess this is the re-mix version of a 2018 album.

This week Pepperoni picked out Type O Negative

“My pick this week is goth-metal band Type O Negative’s 1996 album “October Rust”. Every time I see this album cover with the thorns I think it is going to be the heaviest thing I have ever heard. But I listened to it in full again yesterday and you know what? It’s just guys singing in slow motion with bells and drums, actually kind of nice! Nick from Good Heart Tattoo next door heard me playing it outside and popped his head in and said “H*ll yeah, Pepperoni about time you played something good!”

We’ve been buying a lot of really great used records lately, lots of good stuff coming out on our shelves soon! We’re always looking to buy and we give big money for good stuff!

This week Pepperoni picked The Clash

“My pick this week is The Clash’s 1979 iconic album “London Calling.” You’ve all seen this album cover before. That’s actually bassist Paul Simonon smashing his bass at a show at the Palladium in New York in 1979. I’m more of a fan of The Clash’s good old fashioned punk rock in their first two albums – London Calling brought blending of reggae, new wave, and a few other things and is a tad slower than their earlier stuff. Highly influential though I’m sure and still one of the coolest album covers of all time. My favorite track on this one “Brand New Cadillac”

We’re also excited to finally have TV Girl records in our store after receiving requests for years from this elusive band. Hopefully more to come, too!

The mall is having a food drive currently and we’re going to win, come bring your food by and watch us win it big! and I guess also help people who need food

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.

This week Pep picked Gorillaz Plastic Beach

“Welcome to Plastic Beach, an imaginary beach created by imaginary cartoon band “Gorillaz” for their third studio album which came out in 2010. This double LP is packed with songs with guest features like Snoop Dogg, De La Soul, Lou Reed?? Gorillaz are continuing to do their thing blending elements of pop music and hip hop. The song I think most of you listeners out there might be most familiar with on this album is “On Melancholy Hill” but other singles were “Stylo” and “Superfast Jellyfish”. Enjoy!”
