Euclid Happenings Feb. 1

We're really busy going getting all the goodies out to the floor for you to put in your hot little hands, but we've got some quick hits this week.

ITEM: Oh, my gosh! Did you see our own Sleepy Kitty profiled the other night on the Living St. Louis show on Channel 9? If not, you can watch it through the magic of the internet. Living St. Louis – Sleepy Kitty

ITEM: Who needs a movie or TV series to watch? Euclid Joe returned from the East Coast with something close to 1000 used DVDs, about half of which are out in the racks right now, with the rest to follow in the next few days. This is the collection of somebody who loved movies, so there are plenty of things you don't see every day. Stock up now for those nights when you're desperate; the movies you buy today will entertain you tomorrow!

ITEM: Also in that same truckload from out East, Euclid Joe delivered at least 3000 used CDs, mostly jazz and classical music. This means we'll be expanding our classical section over the next few weeks, and reinforcing our already-impressive jazz selection. We've already started putting out jazz this week, so get in here and start finding bargains on fantastic music. And keep coming back, as this stuff will take us a little while to process. Most of it is going straight to the used jazz walls, rather than the new arrival bins, as there is much more than we can fit upfront.



ITEM: You can look as cool as you feel by picking up t-shirts from Euclid Records. Of course, we've got our classic Euclid Records design, but there are also great band shirts, including Wilco, and the legendary St. Louis rockers the Welders. Just in this week, we've got shirts featuring Syd Barrett, Captain Beefheart, Johnny Cash, the Cramps, Miles Davis, the Doors, and Led Zeppelin.

ITEM: We've got Jim crawling on the floor right now making room for hundreds of incredible dollar records to be added to the bins over the next few days. Buy them for goofy covers, buy them to take a chance on something you've never heard, buy them because while they might (or might not) be a little scratchy, they contain music you can love at a price that you can afford.

Euclid Happenings Jan. 25

So much goes on in the world headquarters of Euclid Records right here in Webster Groves, MO. We figured we'd start sharing our secrets with you, giving you guides to help in the endless scowering for great new and old music.

ITEM: They are tucked away in a couple nooks in the store, and you may have never noticed, but we've got one heck of a great selection of used books on various and sundry musical topics. And if you have noticed them, well, look again, because we just put out a few dozen recent acquisitions to tempt your eyeballs. Rock, country, blues, books (bios of Roy Orbison, Jerry Wexler, Jimi Hendrix, Hank Williams, and more, not to mention lots of great genre overviews)and jazz books (we've got Bud Powell's bio, and dozens of great looks at jazz players and styles)are packed tight on the shelves. You will learn something, guaranteed.

ITEM: Everybody loves the band Wilco, and we are the exclusive St. Louis area store for great Wilco merchandise. In fact, we just got a couple of gorgeous new full-color Wilco posters, and our great assortment of beautiful and stylish Wilco t-shirts is about to be augmented with some new designs. Check back in the next week or two for that. And remember, Euclid Records is the place Jeff Tweedy worked back in the day. You never know what's gonna happen with our employees.

ITEM: We are swimming in amazing old 45 rpm records these days. Euclid Joe bought a huge collection recently, and we've been digging through pulling out the coolest old new wave and punk rock records to spice up our 45 bins at the front of the store. Oh, yeah, and incredible classic (and obscure) soul and rock'n'roll discs, too!

ITEM: Speaking of soul, if you're a fan of the golden age of that genre, from the late 1950s through the 1970s, you will be delighted to find the bins filling up with an abundance of used LPs. Our man Al is upstairs twice a week going through and cataloging hundreds of great records by the likes of the Dramatics, Dennis Coffey, Chairmen of the Board, and Earth, Wind & Fire, just to name the first few records in the new arrival section today.



ITEM: We've been beefing up our new LP reggae section lately. Classic Studio One releases, Lee Perry, Culture, John Holt, lots more. If there's one genre of music that feels absolutely right on vinyl, it's reggae, with that warm, deep bass and the sweet sounds of the vocals.

ITEM: The latest issue of MOJO magazine is here, with New Order on the cover and a free CD of contemporary artists covering New Order's Power, Corruption & Lies record. Articles on David Bowie, Ringo Starr, Tim Hardin, and Billy Corgan, not to mention all the comprehensive record reviews and more. Don't miss this one.

ITEM: Euclid Joe, the man who never sits still, is out on the road right now picking up what promises to be an exciting and very large collection of jazz, classical, and other interesting CDs, and a whole bunch of truly interesting DVDs. We'll have more info on this after it gets here and we start picking through it, but we are already salivating to see what kind of stuff we're going to add in the next few weeks.
