So this past weekend a friend and I went to this amazing record store called the Electric Fetus. I had heard about this place from friends and the radio, but I never checked it out before. Boy am I glad we did! It was amazing.
I was super excited to find a place with so much hard to find music and especially the quantity of Minnesota Music. I was really excited though when I found the new(ish) cd by Caroline Smith and the Goodnight Sleeps. I hadn't been able to find it anywhere and was resisting the urge to download it because I wanted a hard copy.
Did I mention that this place is Amazing? I saw so many of my favorite bands and a few new ones, I didn't know where to start. Everyone was there. Radiohead to Elvis Costello. I even saw some Kid Cudi and Kid Dakota there. Trampled by Turtles, Roma di Luna, Haley Bonar, Brenda Weiler, Chris Koza, good lord it was awesome.
I walked out with a cd and a vinyl which was so worth it. I can't wait to go back and am regretting that I didn't go sooner. The people there were great, I even got to take a promotional poster of Brandi home (for free!). I have a feeling that much of my future paychecks will be going there. But it will be well worth it.
