There's nothing as glamorous to me as a record
store. When I recently played Amoeba in LA, I realised
what fantastic memories such a collection of music
brings back when you see it all in one place. This is
why I'm more than happy to support Record Store Day
and I hope that these kinds of stores will be there for
us all for many years to come. Cheers! - Paul
McCartney
"Folks who work here are professors
Don't replace all the knowers
with guessors
Keep'em open
they're the ears of the town"
-Tom Waits
Record stores can't save
your life. But they can give you a better one."-
Nick
Hornby
We are humbled by all the artists and people who WE
look up to who have spoken up about what the indie
record store means to them. We are also grateful
that
YOU read our missives and shop at our store.
We
know that you have many choices and it's all
at your
disposal and we very much appreciate your
continued
support. It'd be mighty lonely here without you!
SO,
we're going to try to make this inaugural Record Store
Day more of a Record Store CUSTOMER
Appreciation
Day. Read on for details-

Listening Post Features for April
Listen up
Hot Chip-Made In The Dark
"The third album from the English collective behind
some of today's most exciting pop: pounding
electronics, galvanizing effects, shimmering
melodie"- Details
Justin Townes Earle-The Good Life
"I have a feeling that in a few years we'll need
backstage passes at the Ryman auditorium to get
anywhere near him. He's just THAT good." -
Chattanooga Free Press
Moby-Last Night
Moby
returns to the dance floor with a vengeance on his
new album "Last Night". Spanning hands-in-the-air,
smiley-faced rave anthems, cosmic Giorgio Moroder-
styled Euro-disco, hip-hop both old school and
underground, and downtempo, end-of-the-night
ambience, "Last Night" is a dance music tour de force
that looks back at Moby's deep roots in the club scene
at the same time as it embraces the future.
Morrissey-Greatest Hits
Thirteen Morrissey songs that you know and love, plus
two brand new songs - "That's How People Grow Up"
& "All You Need Is Me" are as wry & wistful as your old
favorites. Go ahead skip to track 6, you'll see! The
deluxe
version has a bonus CD that contains 9 live songs
recorded at the Hollywood Bowl.
Colour Revolt-Plunder, Beg and Curse
"The band exploring Broken Social Scene-tinged
dream pop, post-rock meltdowns, Isaac Brock's vocal
assaults, and dirty, post-grunge dynamics. There's
even a bass line that nods to Surfer Rosa." -
Stereogum
