Our guest this month is recent transplant to Connecticut, Antoni Maiovvi (an alias and also the preferred name by which he is referred). We talk about his many projects under this name and various others on the label he co-runs, Giallo Discos, and many others.
We talk about his many moves that eventually brought him here. And Josh stands up for compact discs! And of course, we talk about music we’re listening to and many subjects along the way.
Our new shirt for 2021 was designed by Tim Wengertsman (who some might know from Oiltanker). The shirt features some of our favorite nocturnal creatures (bat, opposum, skunk) listening to a record in their natural habitat.

Thanks to all who made it out and participated in our Record Store Day Drop 1 yesterday. We planned the time slots month in advance and for those that came through it proved to be a great way to do things this time around. We’re thankful for you all and for the day and so we look forward to RSD Drop 2 on July 17th!

For July 17th, there will be no sign ups and no time slots! You just have to show up for our 8AM open time. We are asking that you respectfully (of us and our neighbors and yourselves, really) don’t show up before 6AM. No camping. In fact, we feel so strongly about this that if you’re camping we’ll send you to the back of the line. 😮 This is an industrial area and there are tractor trailers that sometimes visit this lot in the middle of the night and it really just is for safety reasons above all else! We want you to live long healthy lives full of great music and we can only provide that latter one and depend on you all to take care of the first couple parts! 🥰

Our latest record release is by Tongue Depressor and it’s called In The Quarter Column and it is out today!
We have very limited quantities of this record left for in store sale!
Reception of this record has been incredible and honestly well deserved!
Autumn Records in Vermont runs a subscription service, Outer Sounds, that picked this one up for their June edition! In their write up they say this: It reminds me of a more lo-fi, dissonant version of Oren Ambarchi’s early pointillistic guitar work. A Singing on Side B moves in a more horizontal drone space with microtonal pipe organ and long tone bowed bass layers. Dissonance and beating patterns emerge among the alternate tunings again. Both sides offer up an immersive listening space full of details that reward multiple spins. This isn’t placid, background ambient music, its an enveloping & mildly dissonant world to explore that demands your attention not unlike the music of Alvin Lucier, Tony Conrad, Arnold Dreyblatt, La Monte Young, Phill Niblock, Charlemagne Palestine and more. Step inside and recalibrate your ears!
High praise! They’ll also have an interview up with Zach and Henry:
