spindle spider dot comFor Record Store Day I figured I should go check out somewhere new. At the CHIRP Record Fair, I was given a card by an employee – the only such gesture amongst a bevy of booths and vendors. I held onto it and remembered on the morn of the 19th. I set out via bike and […]
Went for a 20 mile round trip and picked up 5 records on the way: Stopped at Raffe’s Record Riot and scored 3 vinyls; Segued to Roscoe Village and Village Records where I just browsed (and ate a Bahn Mi); Headed back west towards home and stopped into see my friends Kelly and David at […]

Found a couple bins of records, the only possible candidate being ‘French Kiss’ by Bob Welch (RIP). It was hard to walk away from this one, however.
Had a layover at work and a day with nothing to do. Was mildly disappointed that they only sold new vinyl but it was a beautiful store. Did find Neko Case ‘Middle Cyclone’ but was not prepared to pay $30 for it. Did find the picture disc version of one of my favorite albums in […]
