ENTERTAINMENT

Spin Doctors A Dallas record label may have found a cure to the increasing demand for vinyl—while simultaneously putting North Texas music on the map.

In an undeniably digital age where media is compressed, streamed and uploaded to YouTube, the outlier is the humble vinyl record, which went from being the industry standard in the ‘60s and ‘70s to a permanent resident of thrift shops and used bookstores. Today, however, the analog medium is more popular (and more profitable) than it’s been in decades. Vinyl sales made more money than advertising from free digital streams in 2015, and Forbes projects that vinyl will be a billion dollar industry by the end of this year, with sales slated to grow by 55 percent through 2020.

“The demand is getting crazier,” said Dustin Blocker, co-founder of local music label Hand Drawn Records and chief creative officer of the label’s new vinyl manufacturing facility, Hand Drawn Pressing—and not just for records.

“Needle sales are the highest they’ve ever been since 1974, and turntables were the No. 1 gift item on Amazon last Christmas.”

Nevertheless, most records today are made on outdated equipment. But not those pressed

by Hand Drawn, which are manufactured on Toronto-based Viryl Technologies’ Warm Tone presses—the most advanced in the world. The cloud-based, high-tech machines can chop the current average fulfillment lead time from six months to six weeks, and press record in about 30 seconds. So far, Hand Drawn Pressing has manufactured “Duende,” the new album from Texas’ own Band of Heathens, as well as re-issues of the label’s own releases and artists, but John Snodgrass, VP of business development for the label and the plant, said new orders are starting to pour in from major labels and indie artists alike.

Make no mistake: The high-tech process for making a record is virtually the same as it was 50 years ago. “[They’re] still made by humans ... and there’s a lot of TLC involved,” Snodgrass said.

Perhaps most importantly is the unrivaled sonic quality of vinyl, especially from a Warm Tone: “[It’s] the closest you’ll get to what it sounds like when you record it in the studio,” Blocker said.

“Every time, it’s like a new piece of art.”

Get in the Groove BILL’S RECORDS Head just south of downtown Dallas and say hi to Bill, whose collection of mostly used records is barely alphabetized but one of DFW’s largest. New selections are minimal and often reflect Bill’s own musical tastes, but he’ll happily order any special requests and has an extensive eBay shop if you can’t find the elusive record you’ve been chasing.

1317 S. Lamar St., 214.421.1500 FOREVER YOUNG RECORDS Arguably the mother of all record stores in the Metroplex, Forever Young Records is a beautiful sight to behold for any audiophile. Its expansive (read: about 250,000 records) selection of new and out-of-print vinyl, as well as LPs by underground and international artists. Family-owned since 1984 and located about halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth, Forever Young is an institution filled with hidden gems waiting to be discovered. 2955 S. Highway 360, Grand Prairie, 972.352.6299, www.foreveryoungrecords.com

GOOD RECORDS With an impressive selection of new and used LPs, a range of local music events and a knowledgeable staff, this Dallas favorite is worth a trip to Lower Greenville Avenue, whether you’re looking to browse or find something specific. Expect the shop’s Record Store Day bash (typically April 16) to be a massive operation, complete with free beer and live music all day. 1808 Greenville Ave., 214.752.4663, www.goodrecords.com JOSEY RECORDS Live music heads will relish in the size, selection and supplemental amenities Josey Records offers, from an art gallery and a DJ booth to listening stations and a stage with a fully loaded sound system.

Look out for a top-notch schedule of events for Record Store Day. 2821 LBJ Fwy., Ste. 100, Farmers Branch, 972.243.2039, www.joseyrecords.com OFF THE RECORD While its LP inventory is relatively small, size isn’t everything: OTR is

also a full bar serving up a hefty live music calendar and craft beer on about two dozen taps. Grab a pint and enjoy the patio or browse the vinyl selection, which ranges from Kanye West to the Talking Heads. 2716 Elm St., 214.745.1402 RECORD TOWN The oldest, longest-running record store in the Metroplex, Fort Worth’s Record Town is a local gem. Owner Sumter Bruton is a wealth of musical knowledge and history, and has maintained a steady clientele of crate-digging locals and TCU students since 1957. 3025 S. University Drive, Fort Worth, 817.926.1331 SPINSTER RECORDS Oak Cliff’s Spinster Records has a small yet well-curated inventory of new releases, albums by independent and local artists, and classic LPs spanning a variety of genres— not to mention turntables and hi-fi systems for the discerning audiophile and Dallas-made apparel.

TRAVEL TIPS

Art Takes Flight IT’S EASY TO SEE the public art at Dallas Love Field Airport, because most of it—with the exception of two permanent works and a gallery featuring rotating exhibitions—are displayed before arriving at the security checkpoint. Stop to look around next time and you might just learn to ‘love’ your layover in the Big D. —Rita Cook permanent collection will continue to grow, too. “As a part of the City of Dallas’ ‘Percent for Art’ program, the collection will keep growing as long as new city-owned buildings and renovations are planned,” Black said.

THE PERMANENT COLLECTION The overall value of the Love Field permanent art collection is estimated at more than $4 million.

The artwork positions the new terminal as a “gateway to the City of Dallas.”

It also highlights Modernist architectural design, a nod to the style that inspired the aesthetic of the airport terminal in the 1950’s.

The old entrance sign to Dallas Love Field is one of 16 artworks TMP Love Field Stage

in the collection, which range in medium and represent local and international artists.

With the addition of a new parking garage (“Garage C”), five more works will be installed by 2018 upon completion of the parking structure. The airport is also developing the new Spirit of Flight Art Plaza, anchored American sculptor Charles Umlauf’s iconic bronze statue (pictured, right). Installed in 1961, the piece depicts a winged man looking toward the sky, representing “his victory over flight.”

“We’re excited to showcase the Spirit of Flight Plaza with the relocation [of] and new fountain for Charles Umlauf’s ‘Spirit of Flight,’” said Guy Bruggeman, the city’s art and programming coordinator for Dallas Love Field. The statue’s relocation will make way for Patrick Marold’s sculpture “Contrails,” one of the five new permanent installations to be installed over the next two years.

THE EXHIBITION PROGRAM Inside the terminal, temporary art exhibitions demonstrate diversity in both culture and visual art.

“The vision behind the Art/Travelers Art Gallery and display cases is to give local, educational institutions a place to gain experience in exhibiting their works—from creating, curating and installing,” said Bruggeman, who added that the airport hosts anywhere from four to seven exhibitions each year.

This year marks the centennial anniversary of Dallas Love Field.

“With us celebrating 10 years...we have a special exhibition called ‘100 Years, 100 Objects: A History of Dallas Love Field.”

These objects are meant to form a meaningful connection with the history of aviation and the airport through a century of unique artifacts from the airport’s past.

Other exhibitions by local institutions will continue as the “100 Years, 100 Objects” slowly takes over the display area throughout the year, culminating in October on the airport’s 100th birthday.

“LIVE AT LOVE FIELD” With an eye toward entertaining travelers and Dallas Love Field employees alike, the Texas Music Project Love Field Stage features musicians, dancers and performing arts showcases. The stage hosted more than 80 performances in 2016, and is located in the center of the main food court.

The first piece of public art installed at Dallas Love Field was in 1959. It was called the “World Map,” and since then it has undergone two major renovations.

“It still has a prominent place in the main terminal,” said Emily Black, Public Information Officer for the City of Dallas.

The most recent work to arrive at Love Field as part of the city’s ongoing renovations for the Love Field Modernization program was Daniel Roney’s “Empyrean.” The piece was installed in January.

“The artists were chosen using the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs’ process,” Black said.

And as the Dallas Love Field Art Program continues to expand its artistic offerings, the airport’s

[WHERE INSIDE]

Dallas/Fort Worth Your Way

"Spirited" Travelers

Live Music Fans

Outdoor Enthusiasts

It's always "five o'clock somewhere" in DFW, especially with the endless variety of local breweries and distilleries scattered around the Metroplex. At Fort Worth's Firestone & Robertson (1), tours take place every Saturday; however, travelers departing from DFW Airport can visit the Duty Free shop in Terminal D to take home a bottle of its signature TX Blended Whiskey (read more about F&R on p. 46). North of Dallas is the charming town of McKinney, where Tupps Brewery (2) hosts live music every Saturday afternoon and offers tours at 12:30 pm and 4 pm. its taproom is open Wednesday through Saturday. Finally, beer enthusiasts in the downtown Dallas vicinity should check out Deep Ellum Brewing Company (3)—part brewery, part beer garden and part local hangout.

The Music Hall at Fair Park hosts Bob Weir & the Campire Band (1) on Thursday, April 13 for an intimate concert featuring songs from the musician's 2016 solo album, "Blue Mountain."

A founding member of the Grateful Dead, Weir has been a touring musician since his teenage years and was the focus of the Netflix documentary "The Other One." On April 15, contemporary rock band The 1975 (2) returns to the Metroplex, less than a year after its sold-out show at South Side Ballroom. This time, the group performs for a much larger audience at the Allen Event Center. Indie and pop fans should mark their calendars for Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness (3), the current project of the former Something Corporate frontman that arrives at the House of Blues on Friday, April 28.

For thrill-seekers of all ages, head to Plano's Oak Point Park & Nature Preserve and "hang" out at Go Ape Zip Line & Treetop Adventure (1), an outdoor adventure park teeming with obstacles, ropes and zip line courses throughout a shady forest canopy. Active tourists should pay a visit to Local Hub Bicycle Co. (2) in Deep Ellum, which stocks gear for cyclists and outdoor supplies in addition to its selection of bikes and accessories. Rentals are available by the day or the weekend, so visitors can take a spin around the town or go off the beaten path to explore trails around South Dallas, Trinity Groves or White Rock Lake (3), which features a 10-mile loop comprising picturesque landscapes, picnic areas, the historic Bath House Cultural Center and more.
