If you're from the area there's a very good chance a significant part of your music collection came from Louisville's iconic-- and much missed-- ear X-tacy record store. And if you're not from here, you've no doubt seen the classic stickers all over!
Louisville Magazine's Eric Burnette has done a fascinating story called ear X-tacy Ten Years Later: An Oral History, which naturally features ear X-tacy founder-- and beloved WFPK host-- John Timmons, as well as others who either worked there or were personally impacted by what Rolling Stone once referred to as “arguably Louisville’s second-greatest tourist attraction after the Kentucky Derby.”
