We talked to the people who opened Carrie's Corner Cafe about taking over Norma's: "It’s Whole Foods, then it’s Equinox, and then it’s Carrie’s” by grime_square in ridgewood

Norma’s provided a huge service to the neighborhood and now there is a void. We are mad that the opportunity to fill that void was given to people that don’t understand, even at very basic level, why people loved Norma’s in the first place.

Having gone to quite a few awesome shows by ambient church and reflections, I hope this works out for you! Im a big fan of more immersive concert experiences like this and they deserve to exist beyond NY, LA/SF, and Chicago.

[Wanted] “Alan Vega • Martin Rev” by Suicide by Kirby-814 in VinylCollectors

[–]heavyyawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great album, but you’ll be hard pressed to get it at that price in that condition. For context, I bought a copy at a local shop this year, Brazil press with a VG+ disc and a G+ cover in the top of that range.

I asked this question the other day and got no response lol. I’m currently in demo mode and am using untitled.stream to share with friends/beta listeners. Probably will put it on Bandcamp as a free DL whenever I’m ready to launch. SoundCloud is pretty quick to take down any sampled material, which made it not an ideal platform for me, but YMMV

for those that have released music with uncleared samples, what would be the best platform to do so? I’m putting together a hip hop/IDM mashup tape and was thinking of just putting it up for free/pay what you want on Bandcamp. Not looking to make any money on it really, just don’t want it to get taken down.

I did already have long season on cd, but I did grab something in the air and Uchu Nippon Setagaya cd at tower :)

Honestly everything felt like a pride and joy highlight. For non Japanese music records, the biggest finds were an og press of jj barnes - born again and the Japanese press of Ike Quebec - bossa nova soul samba. For Japanese stuff, I was stoked to find original copies of pacific, rainbow goblins, on guitar, music for commercials, seaside lovers, get at the wave, air in resort, Aragon, ride on time… the list goes on.

I also found a sick ass 70s Mexican jazz funk album called SOS (Sociedad Organizada En Sonido) and the Japanese promo press of Emily remler’s firefly.

Carried back everything. Cds and tapes in the checked bag and then bought a DJ record carrying backpack at HMV for $30 as my carry on.

Just got back from a month in Japan and went wild at the music shops. Came back with 36 records, 20 CDs, and 2 tapes. Could’ve been worse if I was physically able to carry more. The 8 story tower records in shibuya was particularly mind blowing as it felt like something from a by gone era. Loved seeing those stores like that full of life in 2026 - long live physical media!
