Kelly'
s Pub (you know Kelly- he used to work
here!)
will be hosting Jesse's birthday party this
Saturday night,
January 12th. Jesse, his own bad self, will be funkin'
it up,
spinning tough from his
collection of rare soul 45s. So after you've hit Vinyl
Fever,
go down(town)- 206 N. Morgan St. to be exact - and
maybe if you can guess the big
man's age, there'll be somethin' in it for you too.

GIFT UP!
We Accept Chain Competitors' Gift Certificates and Cards
In case you didn't know, we do this thing where we
will
trade you a happy Vinyl Fever Gift Certificate for one of
the crappy ones you got for whatever occasion from
some unknowing, but well-meaning, relative or
friend.
We actually do this gift card exchange thing all through
the year (we don't stop caring about you once
December ends), but bring it up now because
it's, you know, that time of year. While Vinyl Fever
can't
do anything about that sweater with reindeers on
it or
that smelly candle in the shape of an evergreen or
those tins of stale nougat, we can help with
those
unwanted gift cards*!
If you've received some gift cards* that you don't want,
stop on by Vinyl Fever and we'll take them and turn
them into something you can use -- a VINYL
FEVER GIFT CERTIFICATE. One of our awesome gift
certs will be issued for an amount equal to the
value of your other gift card, upon
verification.
Just bring your unwanted gift
card to the front counter and we'll have a Vinyl Fever
gift cert (or store credit) waiting for you when you're
ready to check out.
* Yes, of course, there's a catch or three. (1) The gift
card must be from a chain competitor -- we don't
trade
on other indie stores' gift cards- that'd be bad
karma. (2) The gift card's
value must be verifiable via phone or the internet. That
means that we can only accept a competitor's gift
card
if it has an 800-number or website where the value of
the card can be confirmed -- see the back of your
card
if you're not sure. (3) The competitors' gift card
must
not expire for at least 6 months from the date of
exchange. That's it.

Eulogies -
Eulogies
"Eulogies simmers with emotion and brims with
understated hooks, registering nearest the sensible
introspection of Wheat's Hope and Adams, Nada
Surf's The Weight is a Gift, or Death Cab for Cutie's
Transatlanticism." - Pitchfork
Patrick Watson - Close To Paradise
Combining elements of cinematic, melodic post rock
with electronic flourishes, Canada's Patrick Watson
has quickly gained fans both among the public and in
the notoriously jaded music business. The group,
named for its front man and chief songwriter, has
gained exposure on television through two separate
song placements on Grey's Anatomy as well as a
widely-seen video on You Tube ("The Great Escape"
has been seen over 430,000 times). The widely
acclaimed album is currently tearing up the charts in
Europe and Scandinavia, and has reached gold
status in Canada. This is unashamedly
melodic alternative rock.
Various Artists - Causes 1-Waxploitation
100% of the
proceeds will go
to three non-profit organizations: Doctors Without
Borders, Human Rights Watch, and Oxfam
America.
Waxploitation launches its inaugural Causes
album
series with Causes 1 which includes exclusive and
rare tracks donated by Animal Collective,
The Black
Keys, Bloc Party, Bright Eyes,
Cornelius, The Cure,
David Sylvian, Death Cab for Cutie, (International)
Noise Conspiracy, The Shins remixed by Clint
Mansell, Spoon, Teargas & Plateglass, Thievery
Corporation and Travis.
