A friend of ours is hosting a massive record sale in the twin cities. Below are the details. Be there for some prime digging. Details below…
TWO DAY EVENT – Saturday, July 10 from 10 AM til 4 PM and Sunday, July 11 from noon til 3 PM.
This is the biggest one yet! LP’s, CD’s, cassettes, 78’s and, of course, boatloads of 45’s. All categories of music, lots of treasures, some awful stuff and some pretty good deals. There’s so much stuff, this will be a two-day event.
LP’s are a buck. CD’s are 3 for $5. Cassettes are 3 for a buck and there is some great music on these tapes! Go retro – buy cassettes! There are some very cool 78’s that are cheap. Old magazines and record carrying cases and other music biz junk, too!
45’s? Oh, yeah, there are lots of goodies here. There are the dollar ones that are organized and easy to shop – you’ll find hits and obscure stuff. Then there’s the cool stuff that’s just a little more than a buck – stuff that I’ve pulled from my ebay store and stuff that I found on trips and stuff that needs a new home. There are also boxes of picture sleeve singles – all in great condition for a buck. But wait! There’s more! Piles of 45’s priced at 25 cents each or 5 for a buck. There are some gems here, too.
Don’t come early – Door opens at 10 AM Saturday and NOON on Sunday. $$$$$ CASH ONLY $$$$$.
DIRECTIONS: Take the Duluth Street exit from Rt. 100 and head east on Golden Valley Road. At the traffic signal at Noble Ave., turn left (north). Take the 4th right-hand turn onto Merribee Drive (careful – the street sign is on the left and you turn right). Go to the top of the hill and we are on the left – follow the signs.
Last summer we released our first record, Porno Groove: The Sound of 70s Adult Films. One year later we are still going strong. To celebrate we’ve teamed up once again with Fantasy Productions to bring you Porno Groove Volume 2. Like its predecessor, all of the music on PG2 was recorded by The Upstroke, Fantasy’s in-house band throughout the 70s. This highly collectible picture disc edition is only available as part of a one-time pressing of 1,000 units. Each one is hand numbered and includes a download card.
This morning Cory and Eric from Secret Stash records stopped by the KFAI studios to chat with Sara Oxton and Justin Salinas. They talked about current and upcoming releases and spun some Secret Stash wax. Check out the free stream below.

We were very lucky to make some friends in Lima who showed us the only place in town to purchase used vinyl. They spent hours with us digging up the best Afro-Peruvian and Chicha (psychedelic funky cumbia) LPs they had. The video below details how we found this place and shows some footage from inside. We hope you dig it.
On 4/15/10 we met up with Miki Gonzalez and the Ballumbrosio twins (sons of the infamous Amador Ballumbrosio) in Miki’s studio in Lima, Peru. Miki (one of Peru’s biggest rock stars) offered some incredible insight into Afro-Peruvian music and the Ballumbrosios showed us the dances that are truly at the root of Afro-Peruvian music and culture. Miki is the twins’ godfather. He is one of the first (and only) non-Africans to be accepted into El Carmen in such an intimate way. The twins’ father, Amador Ballumbrosio is widely considered to be the godfather of the Afro-Peruvian revival. Miki explained how it was an incredible thing for us to learn the Zapateo (an Afro-Peruvian dance) directly from the twins. He said we were getting our masters degree in Zapateo.
When Miki heard we were in town and what we were up to, he instantly invited us out to his studio. It seemed as though everyone we came across in Lima was completely thrilled to share what they could of Afro-Peruvian music with us. Miki and the twins were no exception. This video is just a tiny little peek at the time we spent with them. We hope you enjoy it!
On our first day in Lima we stopped off for some mid-day ceviche and pisco sours in a small local restaurant that was built right off of the owner’s house. He came out right after we ordered and chatted with us for a while. We told him what we were in town for and that Cory plays Afro-Peruvian music. He pulled a guitar off the wall that we were sure was only there for decoration and asked Cory to play for him. Cory started playing a Festejo and the shop owner quickly joined in singing and even playing the cajon. Then he and Cory played a classic Cuban Son (a form of Cuban folk music) together and all the other customers in the restaurant joined in.
Technically speaking, what we witnessed that afternoon was nothing special to speak of. What moved us in a very profound way was the realization that music is so tightly woven into the fabric of their culture. It was all about feeling good and enjoying the moment together with those around, even if they were strangers. This would be the first of many examples we’d witness first hand that illustrates this cultures love of music. It was one of the most fun experiences of our lives. Check out this video clip to see it for yourself.
