Often scoffed at and regarded as one of the lesser forms of music media, it would seem the Cassette tape has long since gone the way of the slide rule or the home telephone. However, there is one factor that can save almost anyone or anything from permanent obsolescence…Music! This is apparent when you look at […]
Here is the third installment of “Alphabetized Into Obscurity – A Journey Into the Unknown.” It’s no challenge for us to find some awesome unknowns tucked throughout the store. So once more, we’ve picked five records in the hopes of finding a hidden treasure and perhaps inspire you to journey into the unknown corners of your local record store, […]
As we look out our windows and imagine a crisp, cold breeze in the dim light of fall, only to sigh in disappointment as we walk out our door and feel the all too familiar heat, we grow impatient for our favorite time of year. For Phoenicians, songs of summer love and summer days are […]
