Well, it sure is nice to start the new year with this record. After a pretty bleak 2009, we all need a good lift. Yeah, it’s kind of Vampire Weekend part 2, but they’ve thrown us some curveballs to keep it interesting. The band seems to have beefed up their chops over the past two [...]

Heather Maxwell is our March Customer of the Month! She travels all the way from Allentown, PA to visit the store and never leaves empty handed!

Long since left for dead, Freedy Johnston is back with his best record in 15 years. The songwriting is up to the high standards he set with his first few releases.
