I love music

We love music. We loved record stores.  

There was something special about an afternoon spent at the local shops. The anticipation of stumbling upon that longed for 12" vinyl,or better yet walking away with 5 new records you never even knew about before that day! 

We loved the look,smell,& sounds of the record store. 

We loved the people who worked there too. 

That one dude who lived and breathed music. 

Sometimes you met people with mutual interests, who shared your passion.

A lot of great bands started that way too. I personally always loved the band flyers,like a hand written note from a friend telling me about their favorite new band.

There was a balance about discovering and purchasing new music in a comfortable public space that reaffirmed your identity as a music lover.

It's a shame that (for the most part) this has gone away. 

Buying music on line doesn't give you that sense of community.

CD's & records can be charished, shared, flaunted,& kept for years to come while MP3's offer no physical appeal & nothing to get attached to.

 We want to involve a whole new generation to the  tactile experience of holding a record that has been loved and shared before.

We are not under the delusion that all music consumers will come back from the online world. But we know this is something worth preserving in today's endangered music scene.

 "...We are a society of convenience and because of that we stomped on the quality of the art of music. Vinyl may not be the salvation of the record industry but this new renaissance in vinyl is here to stay."
