Check it out, new Arcade Fire, new Queens Of The Stone Age among the best selling albums of August. It’s like high school all over again in here.
Hey, you know what would be cool? Everyone should buy a record by, like, Dick Contino or something and then, like, it’d blow up on the top 50 best selling albums list and then all those major label execs would be all “Hey, millennials are really into light music”. And then, Reader’s Digest will re-issue The Great Band Era as a $200 limited edition box set with a foreword by the Mantovani institute for aural analgesia. That’d be rad. But, it begins with you adding some blown out organ grinder record to your cart, checking out, paying the seller, and waiting anxiously at the mailbox for your piece of mid-century wallpaper to arrive.
Or, you know, buy some real records like these fine ones listed below.
Big changes in the works at casa de fox. Stay tuned.
