Redscroll Records Holiday Shopping Guide

Redscroll Records Holiday Shopping Guide

We feel it’s important to shop local, independent and small whenever possible. CT has some absolutely great places to shop for your loved ones this holiday season. We figured we’d put out a list to ease you into it.

First off, we’ve invited some local makers and artists to set up in our space during the weekends in December, that way you can browse something beyond records and maybe spark a gift idea.

CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP (or Chopx7 for short or maybe even just Chop) joined us on the podcast this month. We talk about cybergrind, noise, where those meet and overlap for him. We talk about working with other folks on various projects. We talk about how the Chopx7 Tik Tok became as big as it is! College. Shows. Music. Conversation, as usual, stretches out from all that.
