Good Time To Support A Local Record Store

With so many local artists unable to play shows, it's a good time to call your record store and place an order to pick up a release or two from one of the many Columbus bands and musicians hurting during this, as well as supporting a local business. Here's some places to a check out:

Lost Weekend Records

Elizabeth's Records

Used Kids Records

New Additions: Accept It! 7" single by True Believers

Truth be told, this isn't actually that new of an addition. When I first started the book project in Spring/Summer 2018, Kyle at Lost Weekend Records advised me to pick this up, and I'm glad I did. First, I had never heard of the band, it would have taken me a while to backtrack to it without Kyle's advice. Second, it's one of the rare instances of a hard to find 70s/80s release getting reissued with a bunch of info, so that's helpful.

New Additions: Land Of Sugar by Royal Crescent Mob

At some point in my 20s or 30s, I picked up Royal Crescent Mob's second album on Sire, the 1991 album Midnight Rose's, gave it spin and thought, nah, not for me. Maybe it was the wrong album to start with, maybe it was the wrong time in my life to figure out what was going on, but it just didn't connect. A few years ago, independent of working on this project, I found a copy of 1987's Omerta in a record store and that immediately changed mind. It's weird to think I've gotten more expansive with my listening tastes as I've gotten older, but truth is I listen to a wider variety of music now than I ever had, which is why I psyched when Kyle at Lost Weekend Records let me know he had a copy of Land Of Sugar (originally released on No Other Records in 1985) in his local section recently waiting for me to grab it (along with a few other things).

New Additions: Present The... Night Of The Dragon Lady by The Jive Turkeys

There is obscure, and then there is OBSCURE. Take this release - the 1997 seven inch Present The... Night Of The Dragon Lady by The Jive Turkeys released on Alamount Black Records. I found this at Lost Weekend Records digging through one of the seven inch boxes in the back and was caught off guard. While the band has very little online presence, I knew from memory they had released an album in 2001 called Sounds from the Idiodyssey on Derailleur, as well as a release a few years later called Seis Sonidos. Though were on Discogs when I bought this (I fixed that), this one was completely new to me. I haven't been able to track down either of the other releases (yet!), this one will have to do for the moment to get my Jive Turkeys fix.
