This week Pepperoni picked Tyler The Creator’s Goblin album
“My pick this week is Tyler The Creator’s second studio album, “Goblin” originally released in 2011. I started listening to this in the store earlier and had to turn it off after the first song because there were kids in the store! This one needs about ten parental advisory stickers slapped in front! This was early on in Tyler’s musical career, when he was member of the alternative hip hop collective known as “Odd Future.” Little did we know when this came out that Tyler The Creator would grow to become a top selling artist in the later 2010’s and 2020’s. – “Igor” currently is our #1 all time selling hip hop album here at Dumb Records by the way!”
As mentioned above, we have added Fallout (premium) to the lineup over at Vault 66 Pinball! It’s just absolutely freaking loaded with gizmos and doo-dads.
Not to be outdone at our other pinball spot, we’ve also added Close Encounters to the pinball lineup at downtown Dumb.
