In print this week, I wrote about Acoustic Sounds, Chad Kassem's vinyl empire in Salina, Kansas. The company retails records online; records artists; reissues classic albums; and now plates and presses records at a subsidiary, Quality Record Pressings. It's a pretty amazing operation they've got going there; click through to this slideshow for a photo tour of the place. Read the story here.

Do you go to shows? Do you have opinions about local music? Do you know how to string sentences together in a coherent manner? If so, you might be interested to learn that The Pitch is looking for freelancers for our music section and for Wayward Blog - the very blog you are currently reading! Holler at me for details at david.hudnall (at) pitch.com. Oh, also, here are some pugs singing death metal.

Best Of, Gentleman Savage, a Valero retrospective, and more in this week's Pitch

Kansas City! A fine town! Our town! Read all about it in our Best of Kansas City issue, out today. Sure, you can check it out online, but wouldn't it be more pleasant to pick one up and hold it in your hands? Superior perusing that way.

A shorter music section this week due to Best Of, but we've still got an Around Hear on local psych-pop group Gentleman Savage, an oral history of the disgusting Valero station at 17th and Grand and, as always, the Forecast. The Pitch loves you, don't you see? Won't you love us back?
