Budos Band live 04-15-09 Ind. SF 1

For International Record Store Day I caught up with Cool Chris, owner and manager of the notorious Groove Merchant record haven. Producers and collectors of rare vinyl across the globe know this dusty San Francisco nook selling and trading obscure Hiphop, disco, psych, soul, funk, and Latin donuts. Chris takes us on a trip down memory lane narrating the history of the shop and how he became involved. We then discuss the internet's increasing impact on local record stores, the many tensions between vinyl and digital music, and finally, the much argued over beginnings of hiphop on wax.
