Retail sales of vinyl records were up 15% in 2007 vs. 2006 and our local music stores are benefiting.

Decatur CD and Wuxtry are featured in a new AJC article about how teens are contributing to vinyl’s comeback.

Shawn Mullins latest release, “Honeydew“, was for sale at the Attic this past weekend in LP/CD combo only. Now I have an LP and no player. I must admit that just having it in my possession is giving me the urge to go retro.

If you also want that warm and scratchy feeling (and you aren’t coming down with a cold) checkout your local record store. Perhaps on Record Store Day (April 19th), when Decatur CD is promising big things; including beer and Daniel Day Lewis.

It’s a random tangent sort of morning.
