  1. Dear Vinyl Ape followers,

    Please don’t tell my wife I spent $450.00 on records this morning.

    You keep THAT a secret, and I won’t tell YOUR family about that thing YOU did.

    You know which thing I’m talking about, too.

    We got a deal?
    Awesome.

    Hugs and handpounds,
    🦧

  3. I made this video of the Festival Trade Stall at the last festival by the end of the day.
    This is how the setup looks.

    The T-shirts rail is not in the video.
    Gazebo 4.5m x 3m.

  5. 🎵 Ah, the #nostalgia of rifling through dusty record stores, now replaced by the numbing convenience of Spotify's endless playlists! 😩 This lamentation reads like a eulogy for a bygone era—next up, mourning the loss of Blockbuster's Friday night rush. 📼🎶

  7. 72 hours until your friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape switches coasts for a week, to go vinyl digging through my native land of Boston.

    Long list of stores to visit; some old haunts of mine, as well as some new places I’ve never been before.

  9. THIS is the most uncomfortable and unsettling piece of art I’ve ever had to piss in front of in my entire life.

    Can you give me a minute, Frank?

    I’m not as comfortable in the bathroom as you are.

  11. Cataloging Black-owned record stores

    As part of celebrating Black History Month, here’s a list of known Black-owned record stores in the United States and other places around the globe. The list includes those stores that are either fully or partially Black-owned.

    Sadly, as with all variations of brick and mortar record retailers, the advent of streaming, digital downloading, and online retailers like Amazon.com has vastly decreased the number of Black-owned record stores. It was also noteworthy that several stores only recently identified in previously published stories/articles (in the past five years) were discovered to have now closed permanently.

    Kudos to these business owners for weathering the economic, social, and technological challenges of owning and operating an independent record store in the 21st Century. Please feel free to forward any additions, corrections, or suggestions to this list.

    Peace!

  13. Yesterday was fun. I visited the charming Music Unbound record store in Enschede where my brother’s friend Sjors Trimbach held a talk about band logos including a Futura/Univers readability test for the Oasis logo plus a logo zine. And also, found a Dendemann album with lettering and artwork by @eWalthert in the rarities bin!

  16. It’s your friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape, checking in from the road.

    Had a fruitful day at Chiliwax Records in Chilliwack, B.C. today.

    Coming away with ten great records, some stickers, and other ephemera from my visit.
    Was able to get a few very sought after records that have been on my list for a while, and the atmosphere and staff there was very friendly.
    I hope to get at least a few more hours in there before I have to depart tomorrow after this stupid wedding.

    And there’s still a few more stores to hit on the way back!

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everybody!

  18. Day 2 into my destination wedding trip.

    Two record stores already visited along my path!
    About 15 or so cool 7” singles with picture sleeves, and a handful of some nice #80s #punk #postpunk & #newwave !
    Four more days (and what would appear to be at least 5 more stores) left on the trail!

    P.S. The bottles of Stoli were safely “disposed of” (glug glug) to make room in the box for records. 😂

  20. TWISTED SISTER
    Stay Hungry
    1984 Canada pressing

    Last night of spins for 6 whole days, as your friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape is setting sail for the mainland tomorrow for a destination wedding on Saturday.
    Not a fan of attending weddings, but at the very least, I know of about 6 #recordstores along my trail to stop and shop at.

    Starting my last night off with something to appease the petulant 12 year old in me.
    A mindless, fun album to pack luggage to.

    The album AFTER this pretty much sunk their career. There are no words to describe how bad Come Out And Play is (although I certainly tried to when I posted it a few months ago), and everything else that followed it as well.
    Stay Hungry, my friends. One stop shopping for ALL your Twisted Sister needs.

  22. Not sure WHERE this was or WHEN this was… but I want to go back there and stay there.

    I’m guessing it’s around 1984, as there are fresh copies of Echo And The Bunnymen’s Ocean Rain on display.

    I want three network channels, newspapers, no internet, and record stores fucking everywhere.

    Doesn’t seem like a lot to ask.

  24. #Jazz #Blues #LPs #Vinyl

    I don't frequent #RecordStores very often anymore but I was in #Martinez today & happened to notice a small record store there.

    I browsed thru their 3 small bins of jazz LPs & found the 1984 #MosaicRecords release of the #PortOfHarlemJazzmen which includes the 1st recordings ever produced & released on an album by (the to be named) #BlueNote records founded by Alfred Lion in 1939.

    The sound quality on the album isn't great because it's mastered from the acetates used to cut the original 78's during 2 sessions in 1939. If you're into listening to "vintage" jazz music, that's par for the course but the poor sound quality does not detract from listening to #SidneyBechet play a soulful version of #Summertime on the B-side of the LP.

    I could have bought a copy off of #Discogs but part of the fun of collecting LPs is going #BinDiving & I consider this a great #LP find!

    However, I am now thinking about buying the a Japanese re-issue of the original album for comparison.

  25. Yesterday's haul from Thorne Records : Chrystabell & David Lynch's last record, Cellophane Memories (on sexy, clear #vinyl ), & new Samara Joy, Portrait (bought her previous one there a while back, & loved it).

    The Lynch was on the new releases box on the counter, clearly the Vinyl Gods wanted me to have it...
