The circus may be in town with elections, the economy, final football and whatever but guess what? WE are rockin’ to our own tune. In fact, we are pleased to say, thanks to Y’ALL, Horizon posted a decent (modest, but decent) increase in sales for December 2011 over the last few Decembers (can you say VINYL?). We are grateful, truly. Right now in mid-January we are stoked to have in a couple of recent releases that have been anxiously awaited for months; KATHLEEN EDWARDS CD/LP and A TRIBUTE TO GUY CLARK: This One’s For Him. The Gene Pick is a stunning jazz (surprise surprise) 2CD Live set by CHICK COREA, EDDIE GOMEZ & PAUL MOTIAN in remembrance of the late Bill Evans.

We are also sharing the love with 2 great FREEBIES of very cool music. First the MATADOR RECORDS Intended Play LP is either buy it outright for a whopping $2 or simply buy any vinyl in store and we’ll GIVE YOU FREE. That’s an 11 track fully loaded LP FREE, while they last and they won’t for long so do get on in here and claim your copy. PLUS we got a card from MERGE RECORDS that directs you to FREE DOWN LOAD sampler, not too shabby- thanks to MERGE you can taste test tracks from WILD FLAG, HOSPITALITY, CROOKED FINGERS, RICHARD BUCKNER and more. Yes Free, while it’s available.

Also, relax, as a help to summarize & clarify what actually happened musically last year and guide you to any magic you may have missed, Horizon has posted a blog by John “Indicator” Byce gathering and suggesting his own sonic trendy gourmet Top 20 selections of 2011. Forget New York Times, NPR or Pitchfork – we have JB and he knows. Yeah we have them all in stock on CD & VINYL.

It’s time to say:
COME SEE US!
