Over the weekend, we were tipped off about the new all-vinyl record store up on Clairemont by Old Country Buffet. We’ve got an unconfirmed open date of Monday, October 5th.

We haven’t been there yet, but our tipster says the place is great and the owner is a nice guy. He also said the stock is all used right now, and he picked up good used versions of Neil Young’s Harvest, Prince's 1999, The Band, ABBA. So take that as you will.

Revival Records, 2541 E. Clairemont Ave. Has anyone else been there yet?

And if that weren’t crazy enough, also over the weekend, our managing editor Trevor patroned a newly opened used vinyl shop across the alley from Eclectica on Grand Avenue. Two new vinyl shops in Eau Claire, opening within weeks of each other? Could it be? Is the (zombie) apocalypse coming? What's going on?

Rest assured, we’ll be looking into both places and reporting back.
