The term “dad rock” has been around for some time, used to describe rock music predominantly from the 60s to 70s, popular amongst the generation then. What falls under dad rock is subjective, and can include bands like the Who, AC/DC, and the Rolling Stones. It’s quite silly, but in the spirit of this month’s […]
Mother’s Day means something different depending on who you’re talking to. Collectively, it’s a special day held once a year, meant to celebrate motherhood and its positive influence around the world.
When talking about the synthesizer, what often comes to mind is the 1980s, but this uncanny instrument, made to imitate sounds and traditional instruments (or generate its own), was first introduced in pop music during the 1960s, continuing to gain popularity until present day. We have examples of early musicians like Todd Rundgren, Yellow Magic Orchestra, the Beach Boys, Hiroshi Sato, Gary Numan, and Chick Corea, all who made popular use of the synth.
This month, we feature some of our favorite records from women artists. All these come from varying backstories and influences, but what unites them is the common goal to get amazing art out there—no sexism or patriarchy; just greatness ready for your turntables.

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!
2019 has just begun, and already there’s so much to look forward to. Here’s some of them!
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.
