When I am sitting by the register one of my favorite things to hear someone say is “I can’t believe someone traded this in!” Sometimes the customer is saying that to me, sometimes it is directed at someone they are with or no one in particular. That rush of excitement...

I have run into Jason numerous times over the years, usually looking around at Little Boxes Vintage, The Swing Station, The Forge or Moe's. Music was always the reason for the season so I was happy when he walked into Driver 8 Records the first time. I don't remember...

I know Sean Morris’ record collection fairly well, we co-host the radio show Ajax Diner Book Club every Sunday evening on KRFC. Recently he was kind enough to allow me and my camera into his home for a deep dive into his collection. –Charles Hale D8R: Tell us a little...
