Record Man Shorts
Description: The Great Record Stores: Sam The Record Man | Post-Punk MonkSam the Record Man was a legendary Canadian music retailer founded by Sam Sniderman in 1937, growing into a national chain of over 140 locations by the 1980s. Known for its iconic neon spinning records sign, the Yonge Street flagship store in Toronto was a cultural landmark for decades, known for its extensive music selection, before closing in 2007.
Description: When Did You Get Hot? by Sabrina Carpenter, drawn from its own data. The record in the middle is the song itself: its spectrum, beats and sections, 89 BPM in F major. Around it, six months of Spotify chart history: 116 days on the global chart, peaking at #9. Its lines trace the run in 42 countries. Certified RIAA Gold, BPI Gold and Music Canada Platinum, in 6 countries in all. A gift for music lovers and data fans.
Description: Before streaming, before playlists, before everything lived in the cloud… There were blank cassettes. And, the record industry was terrified of them. A vintage-inspired analog pirate artifact celebrating the glorious age of home taping, complete with an aged cassette, crossed-bones pro-piracy graphic, faded print, and the wonderfully passive-aggressive message: “HOME TAPING IS KILLING RECORD INDUSTRY PROFITS! WE LEFT THIS SIDE BLANK SO YOU CAN HELP.” A little piece of obsolete technology, a little music-history sarcasm, and a whole lot of Gen-X attitude. Press PLAY. Fuck the algorithm.
Description: Who doesn’t like listening to music on vinyl? Growing up I have fond memories of listing to the likes of Weird Al Yankovic, Alice Cooper, Billy Idol, Motley Crue and the WWF Wrestling Album to name a very few. But I also have some good memories of listening to comic books on vinyl…I am sure you long time comic readers remember Power Records released by Peter Pan Records as kids of the 70’s and 80’s grew up with these.
Description: Unique jazz art style design dedicated to saxophonist John Coltrane and his galaxy music. A great gift for fans of vinyl records and jazz bands, musicians, DJs, dads, and moms, for the holidays and for a good mood. An exclusive gift for an interior lover, a musician's birthday, and a lover of musical clothes.
