The other day someone posted an article about this documentary: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21443008/

I have never lived in San Francisco, but Aquarius Records seems like the kind of indie record store we all wish was in our neighborhood. But what really caught my eye was that the store put out a "New Arrivals" list that was "the length of a college essay."

So, I set out to find an example and found one on Internet Archive through the WayBack Machine. Basically it is a music review blog by a knowledgeable and opinionated music sherpa. I downloaded the list and edited it slightly (basically adding a current website for each album discussed) and posting in a more accessible form.

So, without further ado here is New Arrivals 119 from August 2001.

Let me know if I should keep going!

I thought I knew of every record store in SF between the 80's to 2000's but didn't know about this one, probably because I'm just into modern jazz & not into psychedelic, metal & world music that Wiki says it was into. 🤷‍♂️

#ListeningClub This LP is special to me because it was recommended by the owner at #aQuariusRecOrds. Unlike other big emporiums like Tower Records, if you were a regular at aQ they would inevitably nudge you towards new stuff to get obsessed with.

@Neddyo very thankful to have seen them live many times. They always put on a great show, despite lineup changes. Thanks to dearly departed #aquariusrecords for turning me on to them many moons ago.
