We are shocked and saddened to hear of Jellybean Johnson's sudden passing. To know that this amazing personality will no longer randomly show up (like here on @recordstoreday.bsky.social 2023) to light up the store and talk music and life and Minneapolis Sound Museum with us is heartbreaking.💔

The stuff normal people don’t know about Houston City Council
Councilmembers don’t have that much power. A new mayor alters the vibe. And other stuff most Houstonians don’t realize.
