How’s your analog life these days? As some of you know, I’m a collector of records, rare books, and, most recently, got back on the VHS train. What a thrill! Shout out to Latchkey Records for having that one-stop shop!

Speaking of shops, I hope y’all are making it to the Miley Pop Ups this week. And let’s also not forget Pink Bike Ralph — who’s hooking y’all up with a sweet seasonal discount and a super swag bag giveaway. Enter to win and spruce up your collection.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• What a way to dive headfirst into a heavy metal October. Volcandra and Graveripper are set to tear it up with proper thrash and roll at Silk City. This is sure to be a neck wrecker; don’t wait on this one!

• An emo Halloween, you say? Sad & Boujee is back for their 4th installment of this sing-along, costumed evening at Gaul & Co. Sure to be a Port Richmond night to remember. This is gonna be good.

• Philly, it’s time to get a little saucy. You’ll be dancing like a rodeo clown in the new year when G. Love & Special Sauce takes over Ardmore Music Hall. Crack a cold beverage and get ready for the barroom swagger from Philly’s own funk and blues master. Tickets on sale now!

• Plus other just announced shows from Devil Master, Queen of Jeans, Iron Lung, JD Pinkus, The Psychedelic Furs, and more!
