Top Sellers: Grape Juice Records' Booth at Pitchfork
I normally stop by or call a local indie record store in the Chicago area for these weekly posts, but in honor of Pitchfork, I took a different approach this week. On Saturday, I spoke with the very approachable Ian Tsan, one of the owners of the local label Grape Juice Records, about what he was selling. In addition to selling records from bands on Grape Juice Records, Tsan was also selling some older favorites on vinyl from other labels. The locals are bolded. Here's his list:
Junior Boys, Begone Dull Care (Domino)
Pavement, Slanted & Enchanted (Matador)
Iron & Wine, Around the Well (Sub Pop)
Plus, three bands on Grape Juice Records:
The Minneapolis Henrys, The Way of the Albatross
The Butcher's Boy, Skin and Bones
The Lower 48, Everywhere to Go, which Tsan noted is "one of our favorite prospects of 2010, for sure."
