Record Store Day in Milwaukee: Atomic Records · Apr 19, 05:55 PM by Don
Atomic Records was packed today on this, the inaugural Record Store Day. I caught a bit of the Brief Candles set and the first few songs by Testa Rosa (above). I’ve been shopping at Atomic since 1988 (not counting the four years I lived in Houston when I shopped at Sound Exchange). Rich Menning and his staff are genuine music lovers, not to mention friendly and knowledgeable.
What did I buy today? Let’s see…
