Here’s a list of what’s still available at our stores – the date the list was last updated is listed beside the store’s name. Unfortunately, we can’t move vinyl from store to store, so you’ll have to visit the location if you’d like to grab something! We also, do not ship vinyl anywhere, we only sell it in-store.

OK, folks. Here are the titles that will be stocked at various BGO locations.

PLEASE NOTE: Not every Beat Goes On location will have every title. Also, some may have greater quantities than others. That said, some of the bigger titles, such as the Alexisonfire, White Stripes and Flaming Lips & Heady Fwends, will most likely be stocked at every store.

Also, if you don’t see a title here, that’s not to say we won’t have it, it just hasn’t been confirmed. Finally, there may be certain titles not listed here that are shipped to us next week. We’ll keep you posted if we do!

Along with the AMAZING limited edition stock we’ll be getting in for Record Store Day, we’re having a sale!

We hope you stop in on Saturday to celebrate with us!

We’re already receiving plenty of customer questions regarding Record Store Day (April 21st), so we thought we’d compile this handy/dandy guide to RSD at the BGO!

Record Store Day? What the HECK is that?

It’s a day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day. These releases range from super limited-edition releases to items that are simply released that day. It’s always on the third Saturday in April, so this year, it’s Saturday, April 21st.

Are all of your stores participating?

Yes! However, we can’t guarantee that every store will end up with the same stock in the same amount. One store may have a title that another may not. One store may sell out of a title, while another may not sell any. Feel free to call a store to find out if something’s in-stock but please remember, these titles can’t be held under any circumstances.

We’ve been given the opportunity to move our Kitchener, Fairway Rd. store to a larger space in the same plaza. We’re literally moving the store two doors down, so there’s no new address for you to worry about … however, there are a couple of things you’ll need to know if you frequent this location.

Thursday, February 16th: Our Kitchener, Fairway Rd. location’s stock will be taken off of our website. This is because they will not be able to fill orders during the move. However, if you’re ordering an item from another location, you will still have the option to choose Fairway as the destination store.

Friday, February 17th – Sunday, February 19th: The store will be open.

Monday, February 20th: All of our stores are closed for Family Day.

Tuesday, February 21st: Our Kitchener, Fairway Rd. location will be closed, as we continue the move.

Wednesday, February 22nd: Our Kitchener, Fairway Rd. location will re-open in the same plaza, two doors down.

Thursday, February 23rd: The store’s stock will be back on our website.

While the move is taking place, you can still order items to be picked up at our Fairway Rd. location.

If you have any questions, please contact us through our Website Feedback feature, here: http://www.beatgoeson.com/feedback.php

What makes a film romantic? Meg Ryan’s squishy face? A homicidal couple robbing banks? According to our staff, both of these things do. So, if you’re looking for something romantic to watch tonight, whether it’s typically romantic (squishy face) or atypically romantic (Mickey & Mallory), our staff have these suggestions for you!

Ah, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. A holiday created by greeting card companies in order to sell more greeting cards… A day to make a mix CD for the person you love, or destroy an old mix CD made by the person you used to love… With that in mind, here are a few love songs recommended by staff members of The Beat Goes On. For those of you who think that Valentine’s Day is a load of crap this year, not to worry … a list for you is on its way! One note: Who would have guessed that Nick Cave would be the only artist chosen multiple times?

We decided to ask our staff the very-difficult-to-answer question, “What one album should everyone own?” Please know that several of our staff included a disclaimer that they don’t necessarily think that such a thing exists — after all, how can there be one album that EVERYONE should own? Taste in music is, of course, subjective. So, instead, take it as the highest possible recommendation from a Beat Goes On staff member.
