We skipped a couple weeks, but we’re back. Real quick – I wanted to give a shout out to Plaid Room Records, a new shop in the Loveland area that’s a welcome addition to the Cincinnati vinyl scene. Dustin (a fellow Hyperquaker) and I ventured out to the east side last weekend to check it out and were pleasantly surprised. It’s a small place, but they have a great selection of new and used vinyl. The staff is friendly and owner Terry Cole is quick to make conversation and new music recommendations. This Saturday they’ll have a live band, Third Coast Kings, playing at 2 and a bunch of new refurbished records hitting the floor that morning.
Wet Hot American Summer is making a comeback as a Netflix series. And nearly the entire all-star cast is back for the short run series. If you haven’t seen the movie, I highly recommend it.

A great song off of Leon Bridges’ Coming Home – a new album with a throwback sound.
Looks like he’ll be in Columbus in October; hopefully they’ll add a Cincinnati show.
