Upcoming / Love / Business Light in the Attic's Epic Road Trip and 10th Anniversary Show

Posted by on Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 10:32 AM

Representatives of Light in the Attic, one of the best reissue labels in the world, are in the midst of a 3,000-mile road trip from Seattle to LA and back. Their journey includes visits to 58 record stores in 10 days, in order to hand-deliver LITA’s wares and create some goodwill among music retailers (as if the fab catalog weren’t enough…). LITA’s documenting the trip with daily videos, which you can view on the label’s blog and in this post (second episode). This is straight-up porn for people still enamored of brick-and-mortar stores and vinyl—Rated M.

(Also, LITA's offering a chance to win $50 gift cards at lightintheattic.net to those who write most convincingly about their favorite record shops. Winners will be announced Oct. 5. See the blog for details.)

Finally, LITA will be celebrating its 10th anniversary Oct. 12 in Seattle with a concert at Showbox at the Market featuring Rodriguez, Donnie & Joe Emerson, Michael Chapman, and DJ Suspence. Sproing!

Seeing the inside of Craig Moehrer's warehouse is CRAZY and fabulous; he's the best online seller in the world -- it'll cost you, but he has almost everything, it's all in great condition, and he never lies about it. Seriously dangerous place for the likes of me. It was also nice to see House of Records in Eugene again -- we went there a year ago when we did a similar trip to LA and back (we only got to fifteen or so stores, though, but we brought back 300 LPs). HoR was the nicest surprise on the whole trip. I'm excited to see Rodriguez.

Fnarf, this handy for planning the next trip, huh? I think we missed a few stores.

@2, yeah, who knew there was a good record store in Salem?
