Musicology Music Club
Your curated vinyl guide to the sounds of the Pacific Northwest
The Musicology Music Club is the only vinyl subscription service focusing on Pacific Northwest artists.
We’ve partnered with award-winning music blog Guerrilla Candy and boutique label Latent Print Records to offer subscribers records from some of the top talent from the PNW spanning genres and decades each month. As part of the club subscribers get:
- One record from either a PNW artist you know and love, a hidden PNW gem or a PNW act on the rise
- Exclusive Listening Notes that help tell the story of the artists and album
- Access to a private Discord where you can talk about local music with club members and give input on future ROTMs*
- Bonuses such as invite-only listening parties, additional records, stickers and more
For August 2025 we’ve chosen Acapulco Lips' sophomore album "Now." Along with the Record of the Month, subscribers will receive:
- An exclusive interview with Acapulco Lips
- A limited-edition copy of Schedule's 1992 self-titled LP on colored vinyl
- A free $10 gift card to Musicology Co.**
Why we chose Acapulco Lips' "Now"
Take a dash of sunshine and surf rock, blend in fuzzy psychedelic garage overtones and top it all off with classic 1960s girl group vocals and you’ve got Acapulco Lips’ “Now,” an instant PNW summertime classic. This 11-song banger evokes thoughts of Nuggets-era rock combined with sipping on a cold one on the shores of the Puget Sound.
* Discord server will be set up before Sept. 15, 2025 and the invitations will be sent by email.
** $10 gift card will only be sent to new subscribers. Limit one per order.
Does not include shipping. Free to pick up in store or $5 flat rate shipping.

Got questions? We've got answers!
Am I eligible for the free $10 gift card?
The free $10 gift card offer is only for new subscribers. So, if you are not a current subscriber then your first subscription box will include a $10 gift card.
Can I skip a month?
Yes. If you would like to skip a month, you can cancel your subscription at any time and when you’re ready for more PNW tunes simply subscribe again.
What if I already own a ROTM?
First, if you already own one of our Records of the Month then congratulations, you’ve got great taste! Second, if this happens you can bring the record to Musicology and exchange it for store credit. This can only be done in store with a sealed, unopened ROTM and all extras, if any, that were included in the monthly package.
What artists has the club featured in the past?
We’ve featured a variety of artists across genres in an effort to reflect the breadth of talent in the PNW. Past featured artists include indie-pop singer SYML, post-grunge punks The Gits, Portland Americana act Glitterfox, the folksy pop of The Head and the Heart, hard-driving rockers Suzzallo and others.
What are the bonuses?
We like to include bonus items each month as a way of saying thank you for being a part of the club. In the past bonuses have included additional LPs, 45s and stickers.
How are the records chosen?
Our partners at taste-making, award-winning PNW music blog Guerrilla Candy and PNW record label Latent Print Records select the monthly records.
What's Guerrilla Candy?
Founded in 2009 by music journalist Travis Hay, Guerrilla Candy was established as an extension of the popular Ear Candy music column and blog from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Guerrilla Candy has won multiple awards from the Society of Professional Journalists for its music coverage and is dedicated to providing quality coverage of Seattle's vibrant music scene, including news, reviews, interviews, and commentary on PNW music.
Who is Latent Print Records?
Latent Print Records is a Seattle-based independent record label that specializes in reissuing and releasing music on vinyl, with a focus on PNW artists. Operated by former talent buyer for famed Seattle clubs The Crocodile Cafe and Chop Suey, Pete Greenberg, the label aims to celebrate the rich musical history of the region by pressing new editions of long-out-of-print local classics and, in some cases, resurrecting entirely lost recordings.
When will my record ship?
We try our best to ship out records around the 15th of each month. However, since we are a small business, that date may flex a little. So please be patient while waiting for your record of the month.
I don't want my record shipped. Can I pick it up at the store instead?
Yes. You are always welcome to drop by Musicology Co to pick up your Record of the Month package.
Where is Musicology Co?
Musicology Co is located at
420 5th Ave S
Edmonds, WA 98020
What's this about a Discord?
The Musicology Music Club Discord server is the community for our subscribers. It’s a place to talk about local music, connect with other subscribers, provide input into the monthly ROTM selections and more.
