Talking Eraserheads

Well last Saturday we had our most attended and craziest listening party to date with Twenty One Pilots. We had 100 wristbands and posters to give out which we thought was way more than necessary, but after over 120 people came through we were out of everything. We also might have got in trouble with the mall for having too many people in our store and being too loud, sorry.

Yesterday Pepperoni turned 7! Folks came in and wished him happy birthday and at least one handmade card was presented. For folks who don’t know their Pepperoni lore, 7 years ago he wandered into our original location and never left. He’s been running the show ever since.

Here are your Friday Releases!
– TWENTY ONE PILOTS and their eighth studio album “Breach” – is actually being released tomorrow even though we had the advance listening party last weekend! Yes we will have copies available for sale, most of them will be the blue smoke indie exclusive vinyl!
– LED ZEPPELIN have a “Live EP” coming out!?!? Going along with the 50th anniversary of “Physical Graffiti” this consists of (four) songs from that album performed live in years 1975 and 1979.
– A re-issue for the 1995 album by JOHN PRINE, “Lost Dogs + Mixed Blessings” out on black and also popcorn flavored vinyl.
– A 50th anniversary pressing of Grateful Dead’s “Blues For Allah” – available on green vinyl and also picture disc!
– ED SHEERAN has his 8th studio album out, called “Play”. There are a bunch of different variants for this, we ordered three different kinds.

This week Pepperoni picked a Minecraft record!

“Heyyyy all you Pepperoni fan’s. Do any of my followers out there play the game “mine craft?” I am just now finding out about it. It’s a computer game where you play with blocks and they came out with a movie about it this summer. Well, apparently some people like it. Or if you like ambient music, think Brian Eno, you might like this. (This is apparently music from the actual game, not the movie soundtrack). (The movie soundtrack IS coming out on October 17th on vinyl and we will have it).”

We also just stocked new shirts at our Downtown store for all you loud music enjoyers

this show is happening downtown on Saturday, also for you loud music enjoyers

Feel Like I’m Turning Into a Werewolf

We had a lot of fun at the Sabrina Carpenter release party last Saturday at the Mall! Many people came out to get the free stickers, posters, and buy the album.

This week we have a rock ‘n roll show happening Friday night downtown, followed by the Twenty One Pilots album listening party on Saturday at the mall. One note on that party, the new Twenty One Pilots is not released yet however we will be taking preorders on exclusive versions of the album, plus there will be other trinkets to get!

Here are all the new vinyl releases coming out this Friday!

– This time, BIG THIEF have their new album “Double Infinity” coming out for real! (we had things mixed up and showed it a few weeks ago). Out on exclusive green and also black vinyl.
– You can expect re-issues of MF DOOM’s “Special Herbs” series! There are five different records covering volumes one through ten (two volumes per record, sold separately!) Out on colored vinyl!
– LA DISPUTE’s fifth studio album and their first in six years – “No One Was Driving The Car” – out on black and also “green smoke” vinyl.

– Last up some SPINAL TAP reissues with a new movie coming out – reissues for “Break Like The Wind” and “This Is Spinal Tap”!

This week Pepperoni picked Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem!

I bet you all didn’t think I would be coming through in my first pick of September with a MUPPETS pick! That’s right, it’s DR. TEETH and THE ELECTRIC MAYHEM BAND. This one actually came out two years ago along with the band’s new series they had on Disney plus. But really it features their long time standing hit “Can You Picture That?” which was first heard in THE 1979 perfect film: The Muppet Movie (starring Kermit the Frog). The Electric Mayhem bring the heat throughout this one – we’ve got eight original songs and seven covers. Ringo Starr actually plays drums on one of the songs. Can you dig it?
