We have re-opened the shop and have new hours and days of operation. Friday through Tuesday 11:30 to 6:30 pm. Closed Wednesdays and Thursdays. We’d like to take a moment to thank all of our regular customers who have been very kind and encouraging during this difficult time. It’s been a weird few months to say the least. We have some exciting new things in the works for Earwax going forward. For one thing, this website will become a virtual store with access to many more records than I could ever stock in the shop, so look for a whole new website and the ability to get a lot more music very soon. As for our physical store, this is going to be a challenge for us and we will do what we can to stay where we are. That said, we are all living with great uncertainty and we will take each day as it comes. thanks again for your continued support.
All the best,
Fabio

Coming this January, Earwax Records will be doing a Pop-Up shop in Manhattan at the MoMA Design Store in SoHo! We are going to look after the used vinyl section of the shop and this will run through February. I’ll be on hand to help with questions and advise on particular records, etc. Hope to see some of you there! Opening on January 8th!

Live Plague broadcast No. 1. Today I will be airing my first live show on WFMU in 3 weeks. This will be a first for me in a lot of ways: I'll be broadcasting live from Queens, New York in my apartment, not in the studio at WFMU. I'll be using software I have only the most rudimentary knowledge of. The set-up I have is so Mickey Mouse that if it actually works it'll be a small miracle! So, expect an unusually challenging Strength Through Failure -- challenging for me that is! Tune in for the wacky hijinx today at 3pm on @wfmu if you're up for it... #wfmu #wmfu #radio #experimentalmusic #avantgarde #noise #musiqueconcrete #electronicmusic #psychedelicmusic www.wfmu.org

Since we are all in the midst of a very difficult time and an ever worsening national epidemic, Earwax Records is taking steps to avoid the spread of this illness. During this time, the Earwax shop will remain closed until we have information that allows us to reopen safely. We feel this is necessary and unavoidable due to the current situation we are all in. We will also be attempting to stay in touch with our customers via our Facebook page and our Instagram page (Earwax Records). We are going to try to take orders for LPs via these 2 outlets for anyone wanting to do mail orders — we can ship anywhere within the continental US. Beyond that, we hope all our customers stay safe and avoid public contact until this mess gets cleared up. All the best, Fabio #corona #recordstore #vinyl #recordshop #virus #plague #wfmu @wfmu

Since we are all in the midst of a very difficult time and an ever worsening national epidemic, Earwax Records is taking steps to avoid the spread of this illness. During this time, the Earwax shop will remain closed or with limited operating hours on the weekend. This Saturday, we will be open from noon till approximately 6:30pm. This will be an experiment and we will see about additional hours if it is possible, maybe on Sunday. We feel this is necessary and unavoidable due to the current situation we are all in.
