LINER NOTES

🚨 WE'RE LIVEEEE! 🚨 LINER NOTES is officially live with our website, your new go-to hub for deep-dive music stories, behind-the-scenes gems, & the kind of music discussions that the algorithms just don’t serve up. This is where music & storytelling collide, bringing you closer to the records, artists, & cultural moments that shape the soundtracks of our lives. But wait, there’s more! THE CLUBHOUSE, our exclusive Patreon community, is now open for those who want to go beyond the liner notes. Members get early access to RSVPs, exclusive content, & a front-row seat to special projects before the rest of the world. Think of it as your digital member's pass to the Club! Hit the link in our bio to explore, join, and start digging deeper into the music you love. 🎶✨ #LinerNotesVinylClub

New Store Collection now live in the app! Guest curated by our Friend, Zoe Wiggins, founder of vinyl club & cultural studio @linernotesvinylclub We first met Zoe in a record store. Naturally. We were picking up a Michael Kiwanuka album @legacydumbo and within minutes, she was recommending new discoveries. Now favorites in our vinyl rotation! It was here that she founded LINER NOTES Vinyl Club. Similar to a book talk in a bookstore, where each listening experience focusses on one album, taking you deeper into the music - the stories and cultural memories. Unlocking new perspectives, ideas and connections! As a champion of vinyl-centered gatherings, @zoe_veranda shares with us her favorite record stores across the city. Spaces to discover the rarest finds to the best reggae and more. Get a taste here. Then head to the app to see the full collection & map! And go behind the scenes for her insider tips and album recos in yesterday’s Substack: Strolling with Friends. Links in bio. #InStore #ShopExperiences #recordstores #vinyl

We first met @zoe_veranda at @legacydumbo when we visited to pick up our new Michael Kiwanuka album. It didn’t take long before she was pointing us in the direction of new vinyl discoveries and new listening experiences. She is, after all, the founder of @linernotesvinylclub a vinyl club & cultural studio built around deep listening, memory and community. Bringing people together through immersive events, storytelling, and curated sound experiences. She has a brilliant way of leading you deeper into the music and facilitating great conversations that unlock new appreciation. She also happens to have the best NYC record store recos for anything you’re on the hunt for! With @recordstoredayus tomorrow, we definitely recommend you check out her Store Collection and favorite record stores across the city in the app. Here, she shares what she loves most about partnering with stores… Excited for your next LINER NOTES Vinyl Club event, Zoe! #HostsinStore #InStore #instoreevent #NYCEvents #recordstores

NINETIES. @vinylettes @discogs The CLUBHOUSE chose to honor the ‘90s through girl groups, a format that defined the decade & shaped the sound of R&B. Harmonies, style, love, heartbreak, independence, & confidence lived in their records. Their voices filled radios, crates, dancefloors, bedrooms, & car rides across the world where people learned every note & line by heart. Their music set the tone for the ‘90s & built a blueprint for groups & for the sound of the genre that continues ‘til this day. #WHMVinylChallenge #Vinylettes #LINERNOTESVinylClub
