Well, howdy-ho there, quarantine arenas. It's Nate, the vinyl guide. It's a weird friggin' week to be

alive. I'm right there with you. It's just confusing and confronting and amazing all at once.

Most people seem to be doing the right thing and trying not to spread this godforsaken virus.

We've got quite a large community at facebook.com slash vinyl guide.

Let's help keep these folks in business and keep them going so we get on
