EDIT: POWER IS BACK!!
Hey folks,
Good news is, our emergency lights work really well.
Bad news is, we have no power. We don’t think we will have any for some time, something about a transformer on fire.
So we are here and can sell records, but we have to cancel open mic tonight.
We don’t want to, but it will be too dark.
So records till 6, not that we expect you to visit, but if you do- we are here. If we say we are open…we are open. Always.

No open mic tonight.

Stay safe out there.

Sure, we’re a record store. We sell records. That’s kind of our thing.
But we’re also a place where you can just… exist for a while. So over the next few hot days, consider this your reminder: you don’t have to buy anything to stop in, cool off, fill up your water bottle, charge your phone, sit for a bit, and enjoy some good music.

Be safe out there.

OLIVIA RODRIGO 7" TRACK ANNOUNCEMENT
&
June 12 MIDNIGHT RELEASE PARTY INFO

The countdown is on for "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love" & we’re celebrating with a midnight party and release event.

Doors open Thursday June 11 at 11:15 PM. Sales/preorder pickups can start at midnight on Friday, June 12.

We’ll be assigning purchase chips as guests arrive, so everyone gets a fair shot at the exclusive items and knows exactly what they can bring home. No purchase is necessary to attend, but quantities are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. We ordered a lot, but you folks know how it goes.

Available for pre-order now:
• Indie Exclusive LP
• 7” “Drop Dead” Bubblegum variant
(These will also be for sale at the event if supplies allow)
(Indie CD preorder sold out)

Available only at the listening party and first-come, first-served:
• "Walk in the Park" Green Vinyl (Honey Bee & Cigarette Smoke!)
• Mini Tote Bag

Everyone who attends will receive a free sticker set while supplies last. Any purchase made during the party comes with a free poster (while supplies last), and one lucky attendee will win a canvas print of the album artwork.

If there’s something you absolutely want, we strongly recommend pre-ordering on our website the items available now and arriving early for the listening-party-exclusive releases.

ALSO, we love Olivia. SO there.
