Canada Boy Vinyl brings record press to Calgary: Canada Boy Vinyl is a 6500 sq. ft. vinyl pressing plant, which also houses a listening room, recording studio and record label offices. It’s the passion project of Calgarian Dean Reid, who wanted a change of career after spending 20 years in the construction industry. “I was generally disillusioned with my job and I thought, ‘What would it be like if I could play my guitar eight hours a day instead of being at work?’” said the 43-year-old CEO.
Music in the street at Vinyl Hunter launch party: “A Bury St Edmunds Vinyl record shop held their grand opening last weekend in St Johns Street. Vinyl Hunter Record & Coffee shop is owned by lifelong vinyl fan, Will Hunter, who decided to bring an independent record store to the street which hasn’t been seen since Andy’s Records’ closure in the late 90’s.”
Watch in horror — and awe — as these artists mangle vinyl records and turntables to make music: They call themselves Vinyl Terror & Horror and for good reason too. Sound artists Camilla Sørensen and Greta Christensen have developed their own destructive brand of turntablism. Reminiscent of that artist who took a knife and some sandpaper to pristine black vinyl, this duo carefully destroy, cut up, reform and reconfigure record players and records.
The nostalgic smell and feel of vinyl: “Many Lethbridge residents searched for something new to add to their music collection on Saturday, but those who attended the fifth annual Love and Records festival weren’t looking to add anything to their iTunes playlist. No, they were looking for something more tangible, more nostalgic – a vinyl record.“
2015 Marquette Fall Vinyl Record Show and Poster Sale: “The Marquette Fall Vinyl Record Show & Poster Sale will be held on Saturday, September 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Peter White Lounge on the first floor of the NMU Don H. Bottum University Center at Northern Michigan University.”
