July arrived in Memphis, as the heat and humidity settled in and provided a swampy atmosphere even in the shade. Luckily, we doubled down on heat and got a blistering solo set from Blvck Hippie frontman Josh Shaw for this month’s podcast (shoutout to friend of the store Harry Koniditsiotis for hosting Josh at his […]
This month’s podcast is coming in hot!

Spring done sprung in Memphis y’all. While the pollen settles us on like a fine mist of Gonerfest PBR, we’re starting to see the beginning of outdoor shows returning and cautious optimism that there’s more opportunities up ahead. With all that being the case, we couldn’t be more excited about this month’s podcast, wherein we […]
Memphis finally unthawed from our winter siege, so we figured it would be a good time to drop another podcast.

With the general consensus among Shelby County Health Dept. (see the most recent Health Directive HERE) officials being that we need to continue to limit contact among customers, we’re extending our appointment only in store shopping policy. We are going to expand our Monday through Saturday hours though, opening at 11 am and closing at […]
We’re stuck inside of our houses, with the Shangri-La winter weather blues again. Luckily, that doesn’t affect our podcast, with a new episode dropping today.
