The Origins Of Power Pop by Ric Menck

Rob Sheeley, May 9, 2020

What is power pop? You’ll be forgiven for not coming up with an easy answer. Lately I’ve seen everyone from Green Day to the Backstreet Boys referred to as power pop, which signifies the definition has obviously changed and expanded over the years, but what is it really? Pete Townshend appears to be the first… More »

The Mystery of the New Arrival Bins.

So there seems to be be some confusion as to what is going on with the New Arrival Bins. I guess having two different new arrival areas across the store from each other will do that to you.

So as a matter of public service and and a chance to explain our deviant behavior, I will try my best to explain what is going on. And if not take two aspirins and the twin headache should end by the next morning.

When we were closed and had to setup our mail order & curbside service, we started posting Friday Night Videos on-line and a whole bunch of you started buying them. We are so thankful that you did and it sure did give us a boost in a very dark time. Your kindness is fantastic!

So being that we are a crazy friendly neighborhood record store we figured it might be fun to start sneaking records into the Friday Night Videos section of the shopping site at anytime and just have folks randomly find them. Kinda like digging in the new arrival bins and finding unexpected vinyl treasures. This ended up with a whole lot of folks randomly checking it at very odd hours and some sleep deprivation for a few of you.

So being all of this inventory is online and we get orders for it everyday we just couldn't put it into the regular New Arrival Bins without causing total chaos & confusion. So we created a new New Arrival Area next to the checkout counter. And being that we keep adding more and more cool stuff to it at random times we had to expand it to where the new 45's cabinets used to be.

Now being that the store is now open, we are now adding cool stuff the the regular New Arrival Bins as well. A vinyl guys gotta keep it fresh right? So we keep adding cool vinyl and hoping we might surprise a few of you as you flip through the bins.

So just think of it this way, you now have twice as many chances of finding something cool in the New Arrival Areas. ... See MoreSee Less
