Dope Jams Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/slow-to-speak 10 WAYS TO ENSURE US YOU HAVE A BETTER SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.

1. LEAVE YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR. NO RETURNS.
(391)

WE DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE, WHERE YOU DJ, HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE OR WHO WASHES YOUR BALLS OUTSIDE OF HERE - IF YOU ACT LIKE A RETARD, YOU WILL KINDLY BE TREATED AS ONE IN RETURN.

2. ONCE YOU BOUGHT IT, YOU GOT IT! SO, CHECK ALL PURCHASES FOR SKIPS, SURFACE NOISE OR WHATEVER OTHER POOR EXCUSE YOU MAY COME UP WITH FOR TAKING THE RECORD HOME, RECORDING IT INTO SERATO AND BRINGING IT BACK. WE ARE

YOUNG ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE GONE TO THE 'G' BUT WERE NOT BORN YESTERDAY.

3. THIS IS NOT THE LOCAL PRECINCT, YOU ARE NOT BEING PROCCESSED - SO, KEEP YOUR FINGER PRINTS OFF THE RECORDS! DELICATELY HANDLE THE RECORDS BY THE SIDES OF THE VINYL.

4. PUT THE RECORDS BACK IN THE PLASTIC SLEEVES THE SAME WAY THEY WERE WHEN YOU REMOVED THEM. IF YOU DO NOT REMEMBER HOW IT WAS WHEN YOU TOOK IT OUT, LOOK AT ANOTHER RECORD, IT IS KIND OF LIKE MATCHING - SEE HOW THE SIDE HOLE WHERE THE RECORD COMES OUT IS ALWAYS TO THE RIGHT? DO THAT WHEN YOU PUT IT BACK IN THE SLEEVE. IF YOU CANNOT DO THIS, THEN DO NOT TAKE IT OUT OF THE SLEEVE TO BEGIN WITH.

5. DO NOT TRY TO PUT BACK THE RECORDS YOU DON'T WANT. WE APPRECIATE YOUR DESIRE TO RESTORE THINGS TO THEIR ORIGINAL ORDER BUT IT IS NOT NECCESARY. PLACE ALL UNWANTED RECORDS ON TOP OF ONE OF THE BINS AND WE WILL PUT THEM BACK IN THEIR PROPER PLACE.

6. ALTHOUGH IT MAY CONJURE UP THE MOOD OF ONE, THIS IS NOT A LIBRARY! IF YOU HAVE NO MONEY OR INTENTION OF PURCHASING ANYTHING, DO NOT TIE UP THE LISTENING STATIONS AND CRACK SEALED COPIES OF RECORDS! THIS IS NYC, THERE ARE PLENTY OF HOTSPOTS YOU CAN TAKE YOUR LAPTOP, GET FREE WIRELESS, GO TO JUNO.COM, AMASS A LIST OF DISPOSABLE TRACKS & DOWNLOAD THEM FROM LIMEWIRE. WE ARE NOT THAT PLACE!

7. THIS IS NOT VIETNAM, INDIA, OR THE CHELSEA FLEAMARKETS - WE DO NOT HAGGLE FOR PRICES! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TALK US DOWN OR BESTOW SOME SENSE OF GUILT UPON US BECAUSE YOU SAW THE SAME ITEM CHEAPER SOMEWHERE ELSE. IF YOU WANT IT AT THAT PRICE, GO THERE!

8. WE DO NOT TRANSFER VINYL TO CDS. WE DO NOT KNOW OF ANYWHERE THAT TRANSFERS VINYL TO CD. WE DO NOT TRANSFER OUR VINYL TO CD - WE DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU WOULD WANT TO TRANSFER YOUR VINYL TO CD. WE DO NOT WANT TO WASTE ANYMORE TIME ON THIS SUBJECT.

9. SPEAK LESS, SAY MORE. DON'T TALK TO HEAR YOUR OWN VOICE. CONVERSATION IS ENCOURAGED YET THIS IS NOT AN ADULT MOVIE THEATRE, IF YOU WISH TO STROKE YOURSELF OFF, SUNSET PARK IS FULL OF THEM.

10. WE DO NOT SELL WEED! WE CAN HOWEVER RECOMMEND A LARGE SELECTION OF MUSIC THAT IS GREAT TO LISTEN TO WHEN ABOVE THE CLOUDS. THESE RULES ARE PROMINENTLY POSTED, THEREFORE THEY APPLY! FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED WILL RESULT IN THE DISMISSAL OF YOUR RIGHT TO BE TREATED HUMANELY, YOUR IMMEDIATE EJECTION FROM THE PREMISES & A GUARANTEE OF YOUR HUMILIATITON BY DETAILED DESCRIPTION IN OUR WEEKLY E-BULLETIN. SHOP SAFE, SMART & MOST IMPORTANT, SINCERELY! ALWAYS FORWARD.

In typical Kaatskillian fashion the weather will be miserable today. The warm confines of Locust Grove will not. Here’s some things to keep in mind for the Dope Jams 21st Anniversary Party today.

⛈️ The shop will be open from Noon til 5PM. Brother Harris slinging records and preaching the philosophy of Jonah.

🕚 The party will go from 5-11PM. There is no cover.

🌮 The bar and taco truck will be open. NO outside alcohol or food allowed. As the great troop leader Jonathan Romero says “cash is king”.

🚗 Park in the lot with the sign that says “Locust Grove Parking”.

🇨🇦 Beware of Canadians.

👊 At ease.

We are pleased to announce the triumphant return of Canada’s finest export, Alex From The Wood! After being trapped in a catastrophic avalanche over two years ago in one of those typical mid July snowstorms and being placed in a hyperbolic thawing chamber for 18 months, the Rawsoul is back!!! He will hit the decks at the Dope Jams 21st Anniversary on Saturday May 23rd at

Also, the rooms at the Amaya are sold out, if you need lodging and would like to camp we are opening up Camp Gallagher free of charge.

At ease.

Dope Jams 21st Anniversary Party! Memorial Day Weekend. Saturday, May 23rd 2026.

For anyone looking for lodging that’s a step above Abe’s makeshift hammock & lean-to, Oak Hill’s Amaya Guesthouse  provides visitors an exceptional stay for pre/post party accommodations. Located a mile away from Locust Grove (1 minute by car, 20 by foot) in a beautifully restored 160-year-old home along Catskill Creek, Amaya offers a commercial grade kitchen, private hot tub, wellness workshops, and plenty more for depleted revelers. We have several rooms reserved, DM for more info!

“The roof is leaking and the wind is hallowing.

This winter looks like it’s gonna be another bad one but spring will soon be here, oh, God, I hope it’s not late.

But me, oh, I’m getting stronger by the minute” -Phil Collins

8 years ago we started renovating Locust Grove, this week we finished the final piece, the roof! Shoutout to Eli & The Tribes for their precise, diligent work as they finessed the structure built in 1882 into a impenetrable fortress.

Onward and upward..

Dope Jams 21st Anniversary Party

2005 was a lifetime ago. When we first opened our doors at 580 Myrtle Ave 21 years ago, there weren’t any expectations. Divine visions, delusions of grandeur, maybe. No one, including us, thought we’d still be kicking it in 2026— who could think that far into the future? In Brooklyn, each passing month was fought for, with each proceeding year conveying us closer to achieving our goals while simultaneously bringing the grim reaper closer to ringing the death knell. As we ended our tenure in the city and relocated upstate, it turned out the presumed demise was simply a reincarnation. We’ve now been reborn multiple times. We like where we are, what we are doing, who we are doing it with. We thank all of you for supporting us for so damn long.

Everything’s changed over the past 21 years. Our mission remains as true as ever, and we won’t be stopping any time soon.

Saturday, May 23rd 2026. Memorial Day Weekend. Music by Paul Nickerson and friends.
