Our pal, Amanda Petrusich, mentioned us and our “We Pick ‘Em” record boxes in this week’s New Yorker “Goings On” section.
From the article:
Best way to drop a hundred dollars and feel great about it: Record stores. Streaming is a convenient way to hear music, but it inevitably creates a gaping hole in your soul. One antidote is to ditch the algorithm for some good old-fashioned manual curation: if you Venmo the End of All Music, a record store in Oxford and Jackson, Mississippi, one of the shop’s employees will send you a box of records, handpicked and nearly guaranteed to be great. Or just wander into your local shop and ask a clerk what’s good. I’ve never once regretted it.
