April 16th is Record Store Day!!!

To celebrate we will give you a little taste of who is stopping by our stores...

The downtown store has many things going on throughout the day! Be sure to stop by to see the Hosannas do an instore set at 130pm!



At 2pm we have the lovely Zia Mccabe of the Dandy Warhols doing her DJ set for the second year in a row, and as an extra treat, her band Brush Prairie will be doing an instore set at 3pm!




We are super excited to have Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside doing an instore! They have a set time starting at 4pm that is not to be missed!!!



One of my favorite bands is doing a Dj set at 5pm. Stop by to see what the Nurses will play!



At 6pm we have a DJ set by another amazing band, White Hinterland...



Closing out the day will be an amazing DJ set by the band Ancient Heat! Check out this video and come by at 6pm for what is sure to be an awesome listen....



At the Sandy store we will once again have Steve Turner of Mudhoney coming by to do a DJ set, which was one of the employee faves of last year...



And at 4pm, one of Portlands funnest bands around, Purple and Green will do an instore....



As usual, set times may change or be canceled due to things beyond our control. Trust us when we say we will do our best to not disappoint. In keeping with the spirit of Record Store Day, items will be limited to single copy purchases. We truly thank all the talent stopping by to help us this year, and we thank you, our customers, for your continued business. Happy Record Store Day!!!

Beautiful New Glass Sonata

Think you know Philip Glass? Check out his newest Sonata for violin and piano which has just been recorded by Maria Bachmann for her new disc "Glass Heart," which was just released on Orange Mountain Music (Glass's label)! The new sonata is a sweeping, dramatic work with lots of dynamic spirit and emotional breadth. Perhaps more akin to works by Schubert than Steve Reich and not as heavy on the repetition as one might expect, the new sonata is a fantastic way to introduce oneself to Glass or a great way to reinvigorate your love for his music. Check out the video of Maria Bachmann and Jon Klibonoff playing the second movement!
