Photos: Danny Brown @ Old Rock House | 04.29.13

Few individuals in hip-hop strike a profile like Detroit's Danny Brown. His 2011 release <em>XXX</em> still holds as one of the best rap albums in recent memory. With his next record <em>Old</em> due in August, this tour would likely be the last time to see a set heavy on those cuts. At Old Rock House in St. Louis on April 29th, 2013 the Adderall Admiral had no problem showing off your girlfriend's favorite tongue. (Bryan J. Sutter)

Photos: Record Store Day 2013 @ Vintage Vinyl

Record Store Day 2013 at Vintage Vinyl in St. Louis, MO on April 20th proved to be a mighty one, with a line that stretched into the building until the late afternoon and no shortage of good times. Set includes photos of Josh Ritter, Bruiser Queen, and Accelerando. All photos taken with a Lensbaby Soft Focus Optic (Bryan J. Sutter)

Record Store Day has become something like the music nerd’s favorite day of the year. Labels and bands put out special/limited releases and reissues and it’s typically a day of celebrating the quirkiness and importance of the record store, with bands and DJ doing live sets and local breweries offering free beer. While our world becomes increasingly more digital and we roll around in that convenience like a dog in its own filth, nothing really beats going to a record store and browsing through the used vinyl or finding an album that’s eluded you for years. Besides, you’re also supporting a local business and that’s never uncool.
