Friday, January 20, 2012 at 6:10PM Who doesn't love the experience of walking into a vinyl shop and flipping through new releases, used records or just randomly pick up something based on the owner's personal tastes? Ottawa has a few of these places still in business, and as far as I know, they are run by people who know, appreciate and love music and vinyl together.

In the 1980's, while living in Kingston, I would go from one music shop, to the next to look at what was out. But the place that really took most of my hard earned Woolco money was Brian's Record Option. I could find used records for music that I had just discovered while in high school. Getting deep into the Beatles was really fun at Brian's. He had original 1960's presses of Beatles' records from North American releases to the British variant. Bootlegs of Shea Stadium (yeah on vinyl!) and original box sets of George Harrison's All Things Must Pass which

Bonne année / Happy New Year to all!
Thanks to everyone who came out to our shows and picked up our album in 2011. We feel really fortunate to have played for such inspiring audiences at just about every stop. Since we officially released our debut album in September, the response has completely exceeded any expectations we may or may not have had. We're looking forward to heading back out on the road for many more shows and adventures.
We're starting 2012 out with some exciting news. First, we'll be performing on Late Night with David Letterman this Thursday, January 5th at 11:35pm. Brad and Andrew's mom, Nancy Verde Barr, was on Letterman 25 years ago, as Julia Child's assistant when she prepared a hamburger for Dave, which he ate raw because the power went off on the stove (not our mom's fault - click here to watch!). Hopefully he'll remember.
