King of City Pop and vintage Japanese vinyl! So excited to finally have Taeko Onuki’s Mignonne from them!
LIMINAL Music Shop
A favorite for pre-ordering vinyl and getting second hand music. Also a Record Store Day must visit.
Bull Moose
Such a cool collection of vintage records in Portsmouth, NH! Richard is super chill and it’s worth staying to chat with him. We got some unopened vintage Culture Club and Ella Fitzgerald - such a gem!

Cute as hell with long battery life. I gave up Air Pods for these and I have not looked back. I find this style of earbud a lot more comfortable and I love that the charging cable is built into the case!
GO Air POP True Wireless Earbuds Lilac
Picked this up for a camping trip and now it is a staple item. Tiny but mighty is the name of the game - I was so impressed with the distance to sound covered when I was kayaking and the speaker was still on the dock! We also love to use this guy to ...
JBL Go 4 | Ultra-Portable Bluetooth Speaker
I really like my Cruiser, I really do. A great record player for those looking to get into vinyl and not wanting to break the bank. I got mine for around $25 from Mardens. I hope to upgrade soon, but it’s treated me well so far!
Cruiser Deluxe
Vinyl Heaven
Some of my favorites from my collection!
So worth the wait for this record. My wife and I were at this concert on Boston Harbor and I love being able to relive this magical moment forever.
Live On Boston Harbor 3x12" Vinyl (Opaque Sky Blue) - Fleet Foxes
This is my crown jewel. It was pure luck that LMNL was carrying a copy since the prices for this LP on the aftermarket make my head spin. Such a treasure for city pop and J-pop lovers!
Taeko Ohnuki - Mignonne
A local fav - Ghost of Paul Revere’s farewell album hits all the right notes. In Deep is one of my top songs from these hometown heroes.
The Ghost Of Paul Revere - Goodbye Vinyl
This album is one of Halsey’s greatest achievements. The range and lyricism on display is top notch.
Halsey - If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power - LP
K-Pop to the Top
A very special flavor of hyper fixation.
We can debate if Katseye is truly K-Pop all day, but the flavor of the industry is undeniable. They have done nothing but drop hit after hit leading up to Beautiful Choas’ release and I am so happy to have snagged it in person at Bull Moose.
BEAUTIFUL CHAOS (Beautiful Ver.)
My true introduction to Stray Kids was the beautiful brain rot that was MANIAC. Still one of my favorite albums from the boys.
Stray Kids - Oddinary
XLOV is my favorite new K-Pop outfit and their second single album is so impressive. It gives pulsing sex-appeal with 90s R&B influences. 1&Only is my top song - I can’t stop listening.
XLOV 2nd Single Album - I ONE
