We've decided to get rid of our Classical Music. Simply put, it sells almost as poorly as hip hop and cajun music--though it takes up 20 times the space.

So, from July 2 to July 9, Classical Music will be offered at 50% off. Get it while you can. After that, it's gone.

Just a reminder that the Annual Summer Sale starts this Saturday. Here's a breakdown:

Sale runs Saturday June 26 - Wednesday June 30. Each day the discount will increase 5% on remaining used stock.

June 26 - 30% off
June 27 - 35% off
June 28 - 40% off
June 29 - 45% off
June 30 - 50% off

Discount is good on all used CDs, DVDs, Vinyl, and Blu-Ray discs. 10% off the new inventory.

We expect it to be very busy. If you've been to our annual summer sale before or our boxing week sale, you'll know what I mean. As we did last boxing week, if you're buying a huge qty of cds, we may take your items and ask that you come back hours or days later to pick them up so that fulfilling your order doesn't force the massive line behind you to wait a crazy amount of time. However, this decision will be up to the staff. We don't want people handing us a 10 cds and saying they'll be back in an hour.

Mark your calanders. The Annual Vortex Summer Sale dates and discounts have been decided. Here's the scoop:

Please do not bring us your items to sell during the sale. It's far too busy for us to be doing that and we'll probably just show you the door without looking at your stuff.

So I've returned from LA and tomorrow (Tuesday) will be my first day back in the shop. I imagine a number of boxes of vinyl await my pricing hand. Though I don't know for certain what'll be there, I do expect the new National, Hole, and Magenetic Fields' 69 Love Songs. The National LP got a great review today on PFM.

Tomorrow night I'll post a full update of what's in.

Note that we have decided that we prefer closing at 8pm on Monday through Wednesday, something we tried this winter. We will be extending these hours. Therefore we are open:

Monday - Wednesday
10am - 8pm

Thursday - Saturday
10am - 10pm

Sunday
11am - 6pm
