So before too much of 2013 sneaks past me, below is my list &#8211; along with a track from the album for listening pleasure! Speaking of music, this year was great for our record store! We moved into a larger location, business picked up, we hosted quite a few shows (Nobunny, Peach Kelli Pop, Bad Sports, Tough Shits, Sugar Stems, Natural Child, Paperhead, D. Watusi, Juiceboxxx, Jail, Dent May, The Pharmacy, Useless Eaters &#8211; and of course friends &#038; semi-local favorites, The Porcharitas, Really Loud Hamburgers, Weekenders, Circuit Pop, Drew Price, Plains). Here&#8217;s to another wonderful year of music&#8230;and to the future and tunes to come!
