Last week’s Black Friday/Record Store Day was our best yet. We invited some of our friends to play selections from their record collection throughout the day. The music was wonderful, check this grimey video for a lil flavor from the day. Thanks to all the DJs and collectors for sharing and supporting.

He currently owns over 8,000 records. "Listening to my father's albums is when it all began. Flipping through the stacks, cleaning off the LP, placing the needle on the record, reading the lyrics, studying the artwork, and enjoying the rich analog sound. Sure, there are occasional pops & you might have to clean the record. You actually have to flip the record at the end of the side. It's not a play list or program on shuffle. You are present, involved, and engaged in the listening process. Please Keep Vinyl Alive & Support Local Artists!" Markalan
