Even a Pretentious Record Store Guy knows that it helps to have friends in this cold, cruel world. The drummer said it best when he sang that we, "Get high with a little help from our friends." Usually we pick people who share our fabulous tastes and trend setting ways. But sometimes you have friends of friends who you really don't like but your friends like and you can't see why nobody but you think they're complete tools. Anyways, since this is my site, I won't include any of those peripheral headaches. No, these people are my friends and I dig what they're about. Please support them by visiting their sites.
Playback:STL
Pretentious Record Store Guy first made the scene in 2003 in the mini comic Sci-Fi or Poly-Sci: The College Years. He then poked his head back into the sand until 2005 when Playback:STLbegan publishing his adventures monthly in their pages of their now defunct print magazine. Playback is the finest Indie music magazine being published in the midwest and in some parts of Canada. Pretentious Record Store Guy made the bold leap online when Playback became an online magazine in 2006 and has been published monthly since then.
