I could listen to these hosts chat forever. Love the rapport. Love the banter. I always learn so much and rediscover old favorite tracks.

If you enjoy the company of people who love music, you should definitely take a trip down to this record store. I really like the “virtual hangout” aspect of Tara and Natalie’s podcast. Music discovery/exploration is the highlight of the show, but some episodes really “fan out” on some of their old favorites. I think they should continue to have guests into the “store” (which they typically do), because that is another highlight of the whole “record store” concept that they have developed. Well done, ladies! Keep it coming!

I was looking forward to listening to this. I learned about the podcast from Stuff to Blow Your Mind, which is an excellent show. Halfway through the episode on "Debut Albums" I was treated to a lecture about how I must react to bands that have been involved in controversies. It was stated that if a band has a controversy, you HAVE to mention it. You shouldn't be allowed to mention theb music on its own. Why? The music stands on its own and liking that music doesn't indicate you endorse every action of every band member.. Furthermore, because one band member was involved in a mistake or sometimes a horrible decision, that means the rest of the band should suffer and not be listened to? It seems like a failure of logic in our age of "deplatforming" (which is sometimes done just based on accusations alone, rather than formal trial or analysis of evidence). Aside from that, most of their picks were pop-music oriented, staying in safe and unchallenging zone. They refer to King Crimson as a "jam band" even though their music isn't of that nature at all (it is meticulously planned, even the longest songs). So, you won't learn a lot other than a list of someone's favorite tunes, without much backstory or understanding of musical origin.

Super fun. If this was a real store in my hood, I’d be hanging out there all the time.

I wanted to love this show, because I love record stores. However, this just seems like another by-the-numbers ‘these are the albums I love and you should too’ podcasts. No history of record stores, no details about how local businesses like record stores sustain a community of neighbors and artists, no news on the future state of the local record store. A ‘my favorites’ list, I can get anywhere else.

Really enjoying this show so far. I miss browsing record stores with my friends.
