Top Sellers: Gramaphone Records in Lincoln Park

IMG_1259.jpg
This week's list comes from Michael Serafini, owner of Lincoln Park's Gramaphone Records, and Alycia Ryan, a commercial hip-hop buyer for the store who also spins under the name DJ AMPM. The store, at 2843 N. Clark St., focuses on "electronic and dance music -- all indie electronic-based, not just rock and indie rock," Serafini says.

Sa-Ra, Love Czars II (Ubiquity Records)
The Drastics vs. Michael Jackson, MJ A Rocker
2562, Aerial (Tectonic)
Bop, Clear Your Mind (Med School Music)
Leron Carson, Red Lightbulb Theory, '87-'88 (Sound Signature)
A Work in Progress (Chez Damier and Priceless One), Moment of Truth (Yore)
Daniel Wang, The Balihu Years 1993-2008 (Rush Hour)
Various Artists, Spatula City Swings (Spatula City)
Tevo Howard, Passion Sound (Beautiful Granville Records), which Serafini describes as "deep, deep introspective house music...starting to blow up."

Gramaphone Records is a fantastic record store. We are lucky in Chicago to have it.

She's Money

By Kara Luger

When talking musical influences with Helen Money, it's easy to forget her instrument of choice: cello.
