What’s the last full album you bought?

Share your answer and the reasons why you chose it in the comments below.

Listen to The Current on Fridays to hear some of the responses we receive.

During a studio session at The Current for Radio Heartland, the members of Minnesota band Pert Near Sandstone shared details about the origins of their band name. Banjo player Kevin Kniebel, fiddle player Ryan Young and guitar player J Lenz pull back the curtain on the name's origin. They also reveal a bit of ambivalence about their shared nomenclature. "We would have probably thought longer about the band name had we known we were going to be here 20 years later,” Lenz jokes.

In a region shaped by cabin weekends, Lakeshore Vinyl fits naturally. It’s a regular stop when you’re back in town and best described by the people who keep coming back. Mark, a regular from Redwood Falls, doesn’t hesitate. “You can’t find a better spot to pick stuff up at reasonable prices,” he says, already halfway through scanning the bins. “The variety, the quality, they have it all.”

New releases sit alongside older pressings and reissues for an inventory that rewards casual browsers and serious collectors. Buying, selling, and trading all happens across the same counter. Regular employee Rome Karsnia is behind the counter. “If you want to trade, just tell him. He’ll do that, too,” says Mark.

Regulars return with lists, stories, and updates on what they’ve found since last time. There may not be formal events or big announcements, but there is continuity. Over time, the collection grows alongside the people who pass through.

Address: 122 E Lincoln Ave. Basement, Fergus Falls, Minnesota
Hours: Friday-Sunday: 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; closed Monday-Thursday
Facebook: Lakeshore Vinyl
