RECORD STORE DAY AT CD CENTRAL!
Saturday, April 19, 2008



Record Store Day at CD Central was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who helped make it possible, especially our visiting bands: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (above), The Duke Spirit and Tight Leather. And thanks to all our friends and customers who shared the day with us. We hope to do it again next year!

AVANT GARDE MUSIC AT CD CENTRAL (WHERE ELSE?)
Next time you're in, be sure to check out our newly-revamped Avant-Garde section. We've dug deep to find some of the most interesting, progressive and challenging releases from the last century of experimental and modern classical music. From the very first electronic music of Bebe Baron and Iannis Xenakis to modern day guitar innovators Oren Ambarchi and Rhys Chatham, our Avant-Garde section is sure to pique the interest of anyone looking for something truly different. Beyond the confines of the four-piece rock band and subverting the conservative reservation of traditional classical, we have a genuinely dynamic range of artists to chose from including Glenn Branca, John Cage, Tony Conrad, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Stars of the Lid and John Zorn. Some current highlights include Rhys Chatham's "A Crimson Grail" recorded live in Paris with an assemblage of 400 electric guitars, Arvo Part's "The Silence of Being" five disc box set, five different editions of "The Anthology of Noise & Electronic Music", and a great sampler from Naxos recordings titled "Sonic Rebellion" featuring 16 of the most important, influential avant-garde musicians of the twentieth century. From pensive minimalism to beautiful swelling drones to truly terrifying abstractions, CD Central is your one-stop for all atypical styles. Isn't it time for something different

ROCK ART POSTERS
Check out our great selection of original silkscreened gig posters from Powerhouse Factories in Covington. Many of these posters are from shows in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky venues. Why cover your walls with bland mass-produced posters when you can have original, hand-printed, signed and numbered works of art?

WE TAKE THE UK PLUS CARD!
If you're a UK or KBCTC student you'll want to read up on this. Due to popular request, CD Central now accepts the UK Plus Card! Now, in addition to using your card for pizza and textbooks, you can use it just like a normal debit card for any purchase here -- music, movies, posters, whatever. Ain't college life grand?
