]]> How a Youth DJ Program Built New Orleans’ Record Store The Vinyl Society 00:20:42 A New Orleans record shop built from a youth DJ program, a deep love of vinyl, and pure serendipity? Ben from NOLA Mix Records shares how a community space became one of the city’s most respected places to dig, learn, and discover music. If you love records, local culture, or the magic of finding the perfect album in the wild, this one is for you. What starts as a chance opportunity turns into nearly 11 years of running a shop that does far more than sell vinyl. Ben breaks down how NOLA Mix blends retail with free youth workshops, paid DJ lessons, beat battles, and live in-store performances - creating a real music hub for New Orleans, not just a store. He also shares how teaching kids to DJ with vinyl shaped the way he thinks about community, memory, and the tactile experience of music. You’ll discover: Why Ben left school and community-center teaching to build the shop full time How a record store became a space for youth education and adult DJ training Why New Orleans pressings and local records are a major draw for collectors Which genres are surging with younger listeners, from Fleetwood Mac to Olivia Rodrigo to classic Beatles and Stones records The local artists and scenes Ben says deserve more attention, including Alfred Banks and Lisbon Girls We also get into what makes vinyl feel different from streaming - the hunt, the conversation, the artwork, and the memory attached to every record you bring home. Ben explains why digging in a shop is still one of the best ways to discover music, stumble into something unexpected, and leave with an album that instantly becomes part of your life story. Plus, Ben shares rapid-fire picks for favorite record stores, underrated jazz, one record he’ll never sell, the best Sunday morning album, and the definitive New Orleans records every listener should own. His answers alone are worth the play. Perfect for vinyl collectors, New Orleans music fans, DJs, crate diggers, and anyone who believes great records are about more than sound. Ben is the owner of NOLA Mix Records in New Orleans and the founder of Super Jock Records, known for combining record retail with youth music education, DJ culture, and deep local curation.

]]> Dead End Records Shop In Nashville, TN The Vinyl Society 00:27:48 Physical media is having a comeback for one big reason: people are exhausted by endless scrolling and want music that demands they slow down. Dead End Records owner Jake breaks down why vinyl, cassettes, and CDs still matter, how a great record store becomes a curated world, and why intentional listening feels more meaningful than streaming ever can. Jake shares how Dead End Records grew from a garage packed with 4,000 to 5,000 used records into a Nashville store built around discovery, inclusion, and local scenes. He explains what it takes to curate inventory without turning the shop into a personal playlist, why he still buys records he knows he might never sell, and how the store’s vibe stands out in a tourist-heavy part of Music City blasting everything from Pig Destroyer to indie gems. You’ll discover: Why physical media is a form of preservation, not just nostalgia How vinyl changes the way you hear full albums and artist intent Why some albums feel right on vinyl, while others belong on cassette How music seasons shape what listeners buy and what store owners stock The hardest part of curating a record shop without losing objectivity Jake also tells the story behind Dead End Market, a one-of-a-kind event that brought 40 to 50 local bands together for a festival-style gathering without the pressure of a stage set, giving fans time to actually connect with the artists behind the music. It’s a rare look at how a record store can become a community hub, not just a place to buy albums. If you love vinyl, miss the ritual of listening to a full record side to side, or want a fresh reminder of why physical media still matters, this conversation will hit home. Perfect for music collectors, record store regulars, and anyone trying to reclaim a little more intention in how they listen.
