There’s nothing my bank account fears more than a mass amount of records all within a centralized location asking to be purchased. True, most of my music listening medium is digital, but I’ve always been attracted to album hunting since I first stepped into a Reckless Records many moons ago. I never go looking for something specific, I just allow myself to be surprised by first editions and out-of-prints, of collaborations I never knew existed or solo projects that may not have been the best of ideas. Chance is what supplies the excitement in the record buying experience. So when multiple vendors come together, it’s safe to say I’m more than a little excited.

The Chicago Independent Radio Project (or CHIRP for the cool kids) has put together a little shindig featuring over 30 vendors that specialize in vinyl in a variety of genres, as well as CDs, cassettes, clothing, postcards and much more. As if that weren’t enough, there’s a full a day of bands and DJs including WCR favorites Village and Daniel Knox (full list below).
