Did you know that Mike has an online record store? He's been collecting records, and musical knowledge, for over 30 years. It's his side business, along with his regular day job and helping at the shop on weekends! Music and vinyl are his passion the way this shop, herbs, and Wunder Budder are mine.
We love that we're able to work together on a (mostly) monthly event: Turntable Tea Parties!
Turntable Tea Party is a listening party that features a specific record, and we'll share a special release tea that goes along with the album we feature. Join us in celebrating music, tea, and community. Come for the whole event or come whenever you can. Meet new friends or spend time with old ones!
Mike will be setting up a mini pop-up record shop with copies of the record we're playing each month, plus more by the same artist, and some related "you may also like" type albums for sale.
Can't make it in person? Each month you'll find a listing here on our website for the record we played that month and a 1oz bag of special release tea to go along with it, so you can have your own personal listening party at home.
Friday May 3rd is our fourth Turntable Tea Party! It goes from around 6pm until around 8pm. This month we're featuring two albums: Celebration by Joy Division and Celebration by New Order. Because we have two albums for this event, the first record will go on just after 6:00pm.
We're doing something a little different for May - we're not only featuring two albums, but these two albums are compilations that came out in the 1980s. Mike loves both Joy Division and New Order, but I don't know either of these bands well. I'm excited to listen with you!
Reservations aren't required, and you can drop in anytime, but if you know for sure that you're coming, let us know.
I hope to see you there!
Xo,
Lisa
