Strictly Discs in Wisconsin, in a Pandemic: ‘Everybody’s on the Extreme End of Being Tired’
How did Record Store Day go on Saturday? It went really well. The same sort of pattern that we had with the first date worked well and seamlessly, and people were happy. And we did a give away five cases of New Belgium beer, [which] made people happy as well. What were some of your big sellers? Brandi Carlile is this year’s Record Store Day ambassador, and she had a 12-inch that had two covers of Soundgarden songs. That was a really big seller for us. The Bill Evans was a big seller. There was the release by the Yardbirds that did really well. One of the last times we spoke, we talked about how we couldn’t see businesses including retail getting shut down again given that people are so used to having more freedom now.

It’s almost been a decade since George Zimmerman, a cowardly neighborhood watchman, decided to stalk a young Trayvon Martin and killing him. Martin’s death sparked the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and Zimmerman’s ridiculous acquittal only fueled the flames of social injustice. To make sure we don’t ever forget Trayvon’s name, the Miami-Dade County commissioners announced the renaming of a section of NE 16th Avenue, a 3 mile stretch near his former high school, to Trayvon Martin Way CNN reports. The resolution states: “Trayvon Martin, a young man whose life and future prospects were tragically cut short, was homegrown.” “...
