Sold OutOct 06, 2026, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PMPink Floyd’s The Wall is a monumental concept album that merges rock opera with profound psychological exploration.

Oct 06, 2026, 8:00 PM – 10:00 PMThis debut announced a band with genuinely strange ideas about what rock could sound like, layering choral vocals, distorted guitars, and avant-garde textures into something urgent and unlike anything around it. Hosted by Casual Hero
Oct 07, 2026, 5:00 PM – 7:00 PMCommissioned for Michelangelo Antonioni's mod London thriller, Hancock's score moves through cool jazz and impressionistic sketches that mirror the film's detached, voyeuristic unease. A fascinating sidebar in his catalogue and a document of a cultural moment. Hosted by Casual Hero
Oct 07, 2026, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PMDevastating and essential, Skeleton Tree was completed in the shadow of unimaginable grief. The album doesn't process loss so much as inhabit it, with Cave's deep voice weaving through sparse arrangements in search of meaning. Hosted by Studio Q
Oct 07, 2026, 9:00 PM – 10:30 PMSuperunknown is a ferocious, expansive album that blends crushing riffs with haunting melodies, pushing the boundaries of '90s rock while exploring themes of darkness and introspection. With Chris Cornell’s dynamic vocals at the forefront, the album captures a raw, emotional intensity. Studio Q
Oct 08, 2026, 5:00 PM – 6:30 PMThe title track alone — stretching past seven minutes of barely contained longing — justifies this album's place in the canon. Simone moves through jazz, folk, and show tunes with the authority of someone who answers to no genre. Hosted by Casual Hero
Oct 08, 2026, 6:00 PM – 7:30 PMJoni Mitchell turns her gaze outward here, skewering suburban conformity with jazz-inflected arrangements and some of her most layered, allusive writing. This album was misunderstood on release and now, like most of her catalog, sounds visionary. Hosted by Dana
Oct 08, 2026, 7:30 PM – 9:00 PMStation to Station is a dazzling exploration of musical innovation, where his ethereal voice dances over a fusion of rock, funk, and avant-garde influences, creating a sonic landscape that feels both mystical and grounded. Hosted by Dana

Oct 09, 2026, 5:00 PM – 6:00 PMMonk's Dream is Thelonious Monk's masterpiece, where his signature dissonant chords and playful rhythms create a captivating blend of complexity and accessibility. With a mix of introspective ballads and upbeat swing, the album showcases Monk's unparalleled creativity. Hosted by Andrew
Oct 09, 2026, 9:00 PM – 10:30 PMHozier leans into mythic imagery and heavy, roots-driven soul to frame songs about desire, decay, and spiritual reckoning. Unreal Unearth feels like a descent and resurfacing at the same time, where gospel power and folk intimacy keep pulling against each other. Hosted by Brian
Oct 10, 2026, 12:30 PM – 2:00 PMFew debut albums announce a talent this completely — Vaughan's guitar playing here is ferocious, deeply expressive, and rooted in a blues tradition he inhabits as naturally as breathing. Texas Flood is a landmark from its very first note. Hosted by Kevin
Oct 10, 2026, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PMThere is everything before Kind of Blue, and everything after it. We know this record well at Shibuya HiFi. When we purchased our vintage Klipschorns we wanted to hear something that was iconic, beloved the world over, sublime. Hosted by Andrew.
Oct 10, 2026, 3:00 PM – 4:30 PMHerrmann's final score is a masterpiece of urban unease, weaving jazz saxophone and dissonant orchestration into something that mirrors Scorsese's vision of New York as a fever dream. A haunting capstone to one of cinema's great composing careers. Hosted by Andrew
Oct 10, 2026, 5:00 PM – 6:30 PMWe won’t tell you why you should love this record. But we will tell you that we’ve got a rare “RL” pressing, considered by many to be the best sounding version of “II” in existence. Come wield the Hammer of the Gods with us. Hosted by Casual Hero,
Sold OutOct 10, 2026, 6:00 PM – 7:30 PMRumours is Fleetwood Mac's bittersweet symphony of love, heartbreak, and turmoil.

Oct 13, 2026, 8:00 PM – 10:00 PMThe Butch Vig-produced Siamese Dream remains a high water mark for the Smashing Pumpkins. The timpani and strings on Disarm never fail to make you drop everything and listen. 1993 UK Caroline pressing, which is the original and best sounding vinyl pressing. Hosted by Kevin
