    Going into November strong right after celebrating 41 years of slinging platters, Park Ave CDs hosts a talk with music critic Chris DeVille, managing editor of venerable indie-centric blog Stereogum. DeVille is on tour promoting his new book Such Great Heights: The Complete Cultural History of the Indie Rock Explosion.

    Which indie-rock explosion, you ask? R.E.M., Sonic Youth and the college rock boomlet of the 1980s?  Nirvana’s world domination in the ’90s? No, Such Great Heights instead focuses in on musical territory documented in real time by Stereogum in the early aughts through to the present day, taking in St. Vincent, Phoebe Bridgers, Death Cab for Cutie, LCD Soundsystem, TV on the Radio, Haim and many more. The book also looks at the broader pop-culture contexts of the era, promising “a time machine for millennials.”

    Moderating this event is, honestly, one of the few Orlandoans with a matching encyclopedic knowledge of underground and alt-sounds: Matt Gorney of the Civic Minded 5.

    7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29, Park Ave CDs, 2916 Corrine Drive, parkavecds.com, free.

  • Food trucks, bargain bins and mystery bags: Goblin Market returns to Orlando in September

    Food trucks, bargain bins and mystery bags: Goblin Market returns to Orlando in September

    It’s spooky season in September with the return of the Goblin Market.

    The traveling community art festival will host a “bargain and barter art mart” Sunday, Sept. 1, from 1 to 6 p.m. at Park Ave CDs on Corrine Drive. Local artists can sell damaged, misprinted, bundled or out-of-season products to art enthusiasts — all at discounted prices.

    “These events not only provide discount and sale items to guests who may otherwise not be able to afford full priced art but still want to show support, but allow vendors a space to clear out deadstock,” organizers say on the market’s vendor application form.

    Nearby gift shops Dear Prudence, The Lovely, Hellcats USA and brewery Redlight Redlight will co-host the event along with Park Ave CDs.

    Attendees can buy crafts and trinkets from local artists; a bite to eat from food trucks; and vintage clothing, all sold at pop-up stations throughout the block.

    Guests can also bring their own clean, usable art supplies, clothes and home goods to swap or donate at a “trading tent.” Anyone looking to take an item must bring something of their own. All trades happen under the “fair and watchful eye of the goblin king,” according to the market’s social media.
