Ka Sets Up Dr. Yen Lo Shop Outside Other Music This Saturday
Continue reading... →
We are honored to support the record release from Dr. Yen Lo, a great collaborative project featuring one of our favorite NYC rappers, Ka, and DJ/producer Preservation. Traditionally Ka has released his albums straight to the public by taking to the streets and setting up shop outside the famed Fat Beats storefront in the West Village. The hip-hop mecca closed their retail locations a few years ago, but Ka has now chosen Other Music as his new launch pad. This Saturday, from 1 to 4 p.m., he will be selling The Days of Dr. Yen Lo, greeting fans, and maybe even hosting a cipher outside our shop on East 4th Street.

Record Store Day 2015 at Other Music
Continue reading... →
Saturday, April 18, is Record Store Day 2015, the annual celebration of independent record shops, vinyl, and passionate record collectors. It's a huge day for Other Music, and all the other great stores we love. We will be open from 10am-8pm with a huge stock of exclusive RSD titles on hand (no, we can't tell you what and how many, but there is a full listing of all the official releases here). There will be some fun giveaways, including a pair of amazing special edition Dogfish Head Crosley portable turntables from our buddies (and official RSD beer sponsor) Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. To enter for your chance to win one of these record players, Tweet or Instagram something RSD-related while you're at Other Music on Saturday, and then tag your post with #RSD15, @dogfishbeer, and @othermusic (Twitter) or @other_music (Instagram). And we are hosting three very special in-store performances throughout the day, from three incredible artists whose boundary-pushing visions remind us why we care so much about indie music in the first place: 75 Dollar Bill at Noon, Matana Roberts at 3pm, and Laraaji at 5pm! -

Continue reading... →
We're always excited to get together with our friends from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery for some great music and beer, and after trekking to their Delaware brewery for the last few years for the always awesome Analog-A-Go-Go vinyl market, beer and craft festival, we convinced them to take it on the road and set up shop in New York! On Sunday, December 14, we are hosting a very special party with Dogfish Head and Eataly, featuring rare beers, great food, some amazing handpicked craft vendors, and records! Other Music will be curating a selection of our favorite LPs of the year, as well as a ton of other vinyl goodies. We'll also be DJing some of the best music of 2014, and we invited Steve Gunn to perform too! All the details are after the jump and tickets are limited and on sale now. (The 2 to 5 p.m. session is now sold out but there are still a handful of tickets available for the second session from 6 to 9 p.m.) We hope you will join us for this premiere edition of Analog-A-Go-Go NYC! -

Record Store Day Black Friday
Continue reading... →
Though we won't be opening at 4 a.m., and we won't have any deep discounts to offer on flat screens or game consoles, we are expecting some great records on the shelves for Black Friday, courtesy of our friends at Record Store Day. We all know that the gift of music (even if it's for yourself) is better than all that hoo-ha anyway. RSD have coordinated a slew of limited vinyl that we will be featuring this Friday, along with a ton of other great titles -- you can check out a full list of the RSD Black Friday exclusives here. We can't guarantee quantities, and it's first come, first served, so get here early, we'll be opening our doors at 10 a.m. on Friday!
