The Rekkid Store Report — June 30, 2009

Posted to Trust tha Rekkid Store by The Parasolorians on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 4:00 pm

Incoming: Another slow new release week so we'll focus on quality over quantity and pad it with last week's highlights, howabout? Wilco's new opus has dropped (it's on the stereo right now, George Harrison-esque) on CD and LP+CD, plus we have a limited 7" available too. Don't sleep! Bjork has a spectacular live release on multiple formats, Merge Records and Spoon have conjured up a surprise EP with three new songs, and Six Finger Satellite gets the archival treatment with …

The Rekkid Store Report — June 24, 2009

Posted to Trust tha Rekkid Store by The Exilers on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 10:00 am

Air conditioning, kick ass new releases, and used items on sale are just a few of the things we have going on this week at Exile on Main Street. Seriously, what better way is there to cool off during the hot humid early summer days than to stop by the local record store and wax nostalgic about that Kraftwerk LP that changed your life? Soooo...tell me about your new releases: Lots of sweet releases have rolled into the store the …

The Rekkid Store Report — June 17, 2009

Posted to Trust tha Rekkid Store by The Parasolorians on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 at 4:00 pm

Incoming! A slow new release week thankfully augmented with shipments arriving from New Zealand and Australia. We've got new albums from Ganglians (think Panda Bear Jr.), Stone Breath, Legends, Sleepy Sun and Among the Oak & Ash; new EPs from Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins dude), Spectrum (Spacemen 3 dude) and The Mary Onettes; plus a special offer on the debut 2008 mini-album from New Zealand's hottest young band Surf City, which is catchy to say the least. Speaking of NZ …

Did the Crave Truck get a permit to park in city metered spots and city right of way?  Or did they just get a permit?  The city clerk’s office seems to be a suspect here, but it’s not clear they did anything wrong.  Did the Crave Truck…

“It was at this point, before he started his business, that working with city employees should’ve raised red flags…” But they didn’t because: 1) The City Clerk’s office originally mis-interpreted the rules,  or are indeed re-interpreting them. 2) Champaign’s brick-n-mortar merchants hadn’t yet started whining about The Crave Truck.

Local Yocal pretty much nails it here.  I suspect there will be merchants who oppose food trucks because they arguably don’t pay their fair share to locate their trucks in high traffic (high rent) areas.  The food trucks take away business from rent payers, park in city…

I also got to visit Big Grove Tavern during the soft open and definitely enjoyed the pork belly the most of all the dishes I sampled. The cheesy grits and the vinegary pickled vegetables were a perfect compliment to the rich pork belly.
