It's Monday. You know what that means...

BONUS TRAX is hear to quench your vinyl thirst with our dais of dedicated record collectors talking about records that instantly make your record collection better (if you own them). Any of these titles in your own possession?

From there we take a quick turn into the messy situation between the organizers of Record Store Day and YouTube VC'er Too Many Records (Matt Kessler) owner of a Portland record store of the same name. Matt made two videos recently (links below) sharing that he is no longer authorized/allowed to sell RSD titles at his shop, and with next to no communication from the RSD folks, it's opened several different dialogues inside the Vinyl Community on what this means for smaller indie stores, the RSD org as a whole, and the future of the event(s). 

Bringing it back to records, our WFMU folks showcase a couple of their favorite finds during the record fair, and a tale (or two) of a couple that got away.

Remember, when you see it, don't hesitate (too much). Speaking from experience here!

Stylus down, volume up. BONUS TRAX - now playing!
