As 2020 comes to a close it’s not lost on us that we—and most likely you—spent very little time in a record store this year (if you even did at all). As we close the book on this trying year, all this week we’ll be looking back at some of our favorite pre-pandemic visits to our local to revive that record store experience—with a friend or ten that you just might know. —Ed.
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 2018 | Allow us to dispel a notion, if you in fact harbor it, that Andrew W.K. is only about THE PARTY. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
Sure, Mr. Wilkes-Krier is party practitioner par excellence, yet he’s also quite an astute music aficionado (and fan) with tastes across a wide swath of genres which we were made aware of during our recent record rummage in DC. (Not to mention he had some cool ideas for the video you’re about to view.)
Here’s some stuff you probably DO know—Andrew’s sharp as a tack, hysterical, and has a brand new record, You’re Not Alone, whose vinyl edition lands in your local record shop on March 2nd—which you can pre-order right here.
So, let’s get this party started, shall we? We’re record shopping with Andrew W.K. at Washington, DC’s Som Records!
