BREAKING NEWS: RAINING RECORDS LEAVE CUSTOMERS SPINNING AT RECORD STORE
When It Rains It Pours:
It seems the phrase "when it rains, it pours" has taken a decidedly retro twist at RecordsAlbums.com today, as unsuspecting customers were caught in a deluge of flying LPs that could only be described as music to their ears and occasional bumps on their heads.
Strange Weather Phenomenon:
The phenomenon began around 9:00 a.m., just as owner James was flipping the store’s open sign. “At first, I thought it was hail, but then I caught a glimpse of a Pink Floyd album spiraling down like a vinyl frisbee. That’s when I knew, this wasn’t your average weather system.”
The records plummeted from the skies in an almost choreographed cascade of melodic mayhem. There were reports of Queen’s "A Night At The Opera" narrowly missing a parked sedan, while a rogue Frank Sinatra album nearly took out an unsuspecting cup of coffee perched on a neighboring café table. “I’d call it poetic irony if it weren’t so chaotic,” one stunned barista remarked as they ducked under the table for cover.
Eyewitness accounts paint a bizarre yet entertaining picture: records from every genre, rock, jazz, even classical cascaded from the sky in a shower of melodic mayhem. Among the musical “raindrops” was a rare first pressing of The Beatles’ White Album. Miraculously unharmed, the iconic record performed an aerial somersault before landing with precision in a tote bag belonging to customer Sheila Treble. “Talk about a lucky break!” exclaimed Sheila, who had just been lamenting her lack of classic rock in her collection. “It was as if the vinyl gods heard my inner thoughts,” Sheila marveled, clutching the coveted album like a trophy. “One second, I was bemoaning my lack of classic rock, the next, I’m a proud owner of a piece of history.”
As Sheila jubilantly shared her good fortune, other customers were seen scrambling to dodge records in flight. Some even attempted to "catch" albums mid-air with varying degrees of success. "I tried to snag a Michael Jackson Thriller, but instead got smacked in the shin by ABBA's Greatest Hits," groaned one patron. Yet, the chaos only added to the atmosphere, turning the store into what one local DJ described as "the most entertaining meteorological event of the decade."
Meteorologists are baffled. “We’ve seen fish fall from the sky, frogs, even golf balls, but vinyl records? This is new territory,” admitted Dr. Cloud Spinner, an atmospheric scientist. “It’s almost as though the stratosphere wanted a dance party.”
Aftermath:
Of course, not everyone found the record rain delightful. Several customers reported narrowly avoiding being struck by half-speed master discs, leading one staff member to distribute bubble wrap helmets for added safety. Meanwhile, the local insurance office is reportedly inundated with calls for “vinyl damage” claims on parked cars.
Ever the optimist, James has decided to lean into the chaos. “We’re hosting a ‘Raindrop Records Sale’, all albums are half off today unless they fell on your head, in which case they’re free!”
As the skies begin to clear, customers are left to wonder: will it rain cassettes next? And more importantly, is it too late to invest in turntables?
