Why buy a Michael Bublé CD and a frappuccino at Starbucks when you could pair your organic dark roast and breakfast burrito with a fresh copy of the Stooges’ Fun House on vinyl? That’s the position East Van café Far Out Coffee Post(2173 Dundas Street) is taking, having just introduced a vinyl section to its establishment.

The coffee house began stocking wax platters on its walls late last month, with titles ranging from classic rock reissues of MC5 and Rodriguez to local fare and beyond. “We’re trying to do a lot of other genre stuff—a bit of dub and reggae, world comps, jazz—and get away from just straight-up rock ’n’ roll,” Far Out’s Malcolm Jack told the Straight. Flying off the shelf first, though, was psych-styled Vancouver crew Hallow Moon’s self-titled set, picked up by a stranger as the staff spun it on the house speakers.

“Someone bought it from hearing it,” Jack recalled. “That was the plan: play the tunes, have people stoked, and be like,‘We have this!’”
