Birds & Batteries in-store today at 5pm

Come spend your last bit of Black Friday energy with us this afternoon when we welcome Birds & Batteries from S.F.


Their new album "Panorama" (out on Spune/Velvet Blue) has been called "hard-to-describe-but-easy-to-love" by The SF Weekly. Birds & Batteries expertly dive into varying styles that never seem ill-fit be it the epic pulsing of "Some Hypnotic Flash" or the laid back fuzz of "Raincheck".

Check them out at 5pm in our loft.

Happy Black Friday!!!

The day after Thanksgiving has traditionally been called Black Friday. It's apparently the largest shopping day of the year. But I'm pretty sure that means people in the suburbs hit the malls, because last year it was just a normal day for us and the other shops in our hood. Well that may all change today due to our good friends who put together Record Store Day. They are working with labels to release some very cool and limited vinyl goods! They got really creative with the name of the day too! They are calling it Black Friday! man those guys...

So here are some the items we will have today. They are extremely limited in quantities and will sell out fast, so get here early! We open at noon!

- U2 "Wide Awake In Europe" 12"
- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Nowhere/Surrender" 7"
- Soundgarden "Telephantasm" 7"
- Dr. Dog "Double" 7"
- Grinderman "Heathen Child" 12"
- The Black Keys "Brothers Double" 12" with bonus 10"
- The Doors "The Doors" 180 gram reissue LP

LORD HURON 7" Release Party is tonight!!

Join us tonight as Origami Vinyl & Hit City U.S.A. celebrate the release of the first 7" by LORD HURON, the alter-ego of Los Angeles-by-way-of-Michigan singer-songwriter Benji Schneider.


From LA Weekly: "Lord Huron is probably Los Angeles' most mysterious band. They've only been in existence for a few months, but has already drawing critical buzz from their EP, Into The Sun that was released online in June. You could almost feel the ocean breezes that poured out of the tropical guitar licks, which were accompanied by harmonized distorted vocals that sounded like they were coming from the bottom of a well, drums that came in like claps of thunder, steady maracas, and accented by odd computer yips and blerps from two laptops.

Sound insane? Perhaps, but it's the kind of laid back madness that I, for one, would like to be a part of."

It's gonna be a party! Yay parties!!

Lord Huron - Mighty
