Wednesday Night = Vinyl Night at Bar One

I found out about Vinyl Night at Bar One a few weeks ago from a flyer in a local record shop. If you are in the LA area this is definitely worth checking out.

Bar One serves a variety of beer and wine and welcomes customers to bring their own records to play on Wednesday nights. We had a great time there and did a little video about our night......

For my record side I chose.......

We had just picked it up the weekend before. Nothing like a little reggae of your choice at a low key bar on a Wednesday night :)

Ray Bryant - Me and the Blues

Jazz is probably one of my very favorite genres. We can thank jazz for being the basis of so many different types of music that exist now. Ray Bryant is a relatively new discovery, but I love this sound. Perfect for a lazy day exploring a local park.

A Special Public Service Announcement from Sarah's Records

If you love playing vinyl I know that this has happened to you. For us it is often after a long night of listening to music with friends, maybe with a few, or many, drinks. Your friends finally go home, you realize it is some ridiculous hour of the night and you hear this sound. Or maybe you doze off in front of the fireplace with a loved one and wake up to it. It's a soothing sound......

Records you Find Everywhere - The Movie!!

So awhile ago I posted some of the records that I just keep running into everywhere that I go. This inspired us to get a little footage of me actually shopping for records and finding those exact records. Proof!

Album of the Day: Nina Simone Jazz As Played In An Exclusive Side Street Club

Nina Simone isn't a new discovery but this album is just hitting the spot after a long Monday. Lots of standard tunes that any Nina Simone fan will recognize. The B side opens with the instrumental above. Just beautiful, and worth another listen if it has been awhile.

PCC Flea Market - Lot's of Records!!!

I finally got around to going to the Pasadena City College (PCC) flea market last weekend. It was a great success. I love the Rosebowl Flea Market but I think I actually like PCC better, especially for records.

There were more record vendors than I had ever seen at one flea market and everything was pretty well priced. It's definitely a little bit of a grueling morning if you want to do it right (we got up at 8am) but well worth it. We walked away with alot of jazz and blues, but there is definitely something for everyone. If you go, prepare to be a little chilled since most of the flea market is in a parking garage and I'd bring a big tote bag or backpack so you have something to haul all of your purchases in.
