So check this out John Mayer played at Luna! Camper Van Beethoven played there! Ron Sexsmith! and the list goes on and on. In an economy where people predict the demise of CD's - here is an Indianapolis based record store that keeps growing. The secret sauce? Todd Robinson and his band of dedicated music heads! Its community and music. Like yats is community and food. Besides how many local originals can say they've been called a noteworthy place to buy records or listen to music! Ok that was quite the luna rant huh. Sun, 11 May 2008 21:23:53 -0400 http://www.indy.com/posts/7919#comment_22160 http://www.indy.com/posts/7919#comment_22160 randydaytona seasons.....
