Recently Jeff, the more attractive of the two owners of this store is now working the store full time, he had to be real dramatic about it and wrote a speech:

“Big Announcement here. After 17 years in IT at Horace Mann I have very recently changed careers to full time retail.

This is certainly a big change for me. It feels my whole life has been a progression of, “5 years ago I sure wouldn’t believe I’d be doing this now!” From getting my masters in computer science, to becoming a PMP certified project manager, to managing my own team of software developers, learning how to operate and maintain vintage pinball and arcade machines, running a music venue for 8 years out of my basement, becoming partner in a record store. Every time it’s been a big leap. Opening a public arcade 5 years ago, working with an architect to have an official above-board all ages music venue, and learning the ins ‘n outs of record farming.

Thanks to my very intelligent and pretty wife, 2 amazing boys, parents who told me I could do big things, a business partner who agrees calling two stores Dumb and Dumber is a good idea, many people who have helped along the way, and an amazing community who comes out and supports our silly record store everyday. This is certainly big for me that I can give more attention to making Dumb Records a fun experience for our community.”

As soon as he did all that he slacked off and didn’t even post the new Friday releases on time to this site. Here is what was released new today!

– ALEX WARREN, I’ve been told this guy is a pro youtuber gone musician or something. His album “You’ll Be Alright Kid” available on white vinyl.
– Americana indie band LORD HURON have their fifth album “The Cosmic Selector” available on red swirl vinyl.
– Another indie artist ALEX G, with a new album “Headlights”.
– LAURA JANE GRACE has a new album out on Polyvinyl records called “Adventure Club”! We will also have a limited amount of exclusive patches to hand out with purchase of this one!
– Last but not least a silver re-pressing of FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH’s greatest hits.

Next Friday at the mall, we will be hosting a release party for the new Tyler Childers album!

And so far this week we’ve hosted 2 shows already and this one is happening on Saturday. Looks like another loud ol hardcore bash.
