Looking for something to do this NYE? Look no further than DISCO UNUSUAL (echoing unsual, unusaul , unusual into a long fade).

Our friends from Cold Lunch Records will be laying the needle in the groove for our first edition of DISCO UNUSUAL to kick off the new year. Caroline, Taylor, and Megan Loveless (To-Go Records) will bring you vinyl gems and classics from soul and disco to dream pop and indie classics. You never know what you’ll get when you show up to DISCO UNUSUAL, but you’ll hear why this is the place to be.

Needle lands in the groove @ 8 and hangs there until late.

Rachel and John behind the Bar.

No Cover.

Stay disco woke.

This week,

Fresh from the press to your turntable!

It’s cold out there, campers, and we have some analog warmth for you to cozy up to this week. There is a heavy front of reissues sliding through with a mild dusting of new releases. It’s the perfect time of year to help new vinyl addicts in your life fill out their collection and we can help with that. Talk with us if you’re looking for something special before the holidays.

A standout for me this week is Brendon Benson’s One Mississippi. I bought a copy on CD at Be-Bop Music in Jackson, MS many moons ago. Released in 1996 in America and 1997 in Great Britain, this debut record showcased Brendon’s unique songwriting. As a member of the Raconteurs you can hear his influence on how the band write and play music. Jack Lawrence, of the Racontuers, once told me that Brendon was a big help to bands like The Greenhornes and White Stripes early in their careers. It stands to reason they would all later team up. Brendon’s a hell of a nice guy and his records are great so come grab one this week.

Speaking of the Racontuers, they have a new 7” single out this week so grab it for a stocking stuffer. This band is great live if you can catch them.

Heavy classics from Aretha Franklin, Miles Davis, Bad Brains, and Eminem this week. John Legend is sounding very merry with a reissue of his A Legendary Christmas just in time for the holidays. We have some live records in the reissue section this week that peaked my attention. I’m not sure who the band Bongripper are but I can dig the name. Wink. Nod.

Last but not least it looks like we have more copies of Pearl Jam MTV Unplugged finding their way to us. Keep an eye on our social sites. It’s in our queue for the week and we will let you know when it’s in.

This week,

Fresh from the press to your turntable!

We wanted to take a minute and say thank you to everyone who came out last weekend for our 3rd Anniversary. The drinks flowed, stories regaled, and plaid-adorned patrons held a strong hang all weekend. Thank you all for the past 3 years!

We did take time to notice that many of you went home with stacks of records from the sales. It was great to see so many folks lined up out front before we opened to have first crack at the RSD releases. Well done everyone.

A bunch of you joined our 33 1/3 Club over the weekend and started getting money back on new vinyl purchases right away. It’s a great way to save some bucks heading into the holiday season on your healthy vinyl addiction.

We still have some of the special Black Friday RSD titles available, so come take a peak. If you took photos over the weekend please tag us @vinyltapnashville

We are hoping that you don’t have ‘vinyl wrist’ because there is new stuff hitting the shelves all December long. ‘Vinyl wrist’ is the hand numbing pain that goes along with searching through stack after stack for just the right record. Happy Hunting!
