Everybody needs a good pair of headphones. Let’s face it—vinyl is incredible, but we can’t always listen to the format whenever we want. Having these portables nearby allows not only an alternative way of listening to records at home, but also a method for bringing those tunes outside.
Our stores feature a well-curated selection of headphones suited to your every need. Drop by and check out which ones match your lifestyle. Here’s some of what you’ll find.
And now, for even more upcoming albums.
What do you get when you combine the 80s-influenced indie pop of the Drums, the early post-punk days of the Cure, the slow-building dark moodiness of Black Sabbath’s self-titled, and the unforgiving industrial noise of Nine Inch Nails? For this season’s Spindle Jam, we feature in our stores records you’ll love if all these sing to your soul. Here’s some you’ll see up on our current walls.
Here’s more albums we can’t wait to listen to this year!
Coffee is a culture and experience involving more than just drinking. It involves everything related to the art form, including harvesting, roasting, and brewing the perfect cup. “Third wave coffee” is the phrase used to define this movement, one where, unlike other waves, involves a focus on important aspects, such as fair trade and a deeper appreciation for taste, not so different from wine tasting.
2019 has just begun, and already there’s so much to look forward to. Here’s some of them!
This year was another superb one for music. Amazing albums and EPs were released left and right, making it difficult, at times, to keep focus on certain standouts. One had to dig past comfort zones to find gems, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t masterpieces from well-known places either.
It’s that time of the year again. Depending on how you look at it, you’re excited, stressed, or plain apathetic. Thankfully, we can, to an extent, choose to celebrate the holidays in our own special ways.
For many, music plays an integral role during the season. To make record collecting and gift-giving this month easier, we’ve come up with special one-off vinyl bundles available starting on their respective release days, five days leading up to Christmas.
There’s nothing wrong with pop music. The genre, just like everything else, can be subjectively either good or bad, depending on how you listen to it. For the people complaining about pop not having substance, they’re not looking in the right places. There are numerous examples of the genre breaking boundaries, sometimes subtly, sometimes more direct, all while sticking to conventions. That’s not an easy thing to do.
Folk music has been around for a long time. Since time immemorial, songs have been part of certain rituals and oral tradition. Come the 20th century, a revival, sometimes referred to as a roots revival, took place, with artists such as Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell popularizing the genre and taking it to new levels. This includes more socially and politically aware themes and modernization of old anthems.

In our previous Spindle Jam, we featured the darkness that is post-punk music. For this season, we’re tackling the usually more upbeat new wave and synth-pop. The reason for having these two genres together is because they’re close siblings. Particularly in the latter part of new wave’s peak years, a fusion of the two wasn’t uncommon.

Soul is music that speaks to the core. One of the things that makes it special is how its beauty, often, isn’t felt on the surface. One has to listen for subtleties to understand it fully. Combining elements of gospel, jazz, and R&B, the music is a celebration of African-American identity. Under its umbrella is a diverse range of subgenres, from the popular Detroit style to the more accessible Philadelphia soul.
Life is harsh. Everyday, a lover dies, prices increase, a dog runs away, and still, there’s no solution to that age-old existential dilemma. It’s time we drowned ourselves in the blues.
