The Richmond vinyl listening parties you should know about

Zoom in: The events are often in tribute to legendary R&B and neo-soul albums.

• Last month, the listening party celebrated the 10-year anniversary of The Internet's "Ego Death" release, with sounds curated by local DJ Ohemghi.
• On Wednesday, it was all about Richmond's D'Angelo, in honor of the 30th anniversary of "Brown Sugar."
• That event, which was capped at 40 RSVPs, sold out quickly.

Yes, but: The shop, which opened earlier this year, is also bringing back their "Records & Friends" series this Friday from 7-11pm.

• There, you can dig for records, trade your own records and even eat Bao buns from Noah's Rockin' Bun's Food Truck while listening to DJ Nobe and Hip Hop Henry.
• It's free, but you have to register.

Caveat: There's no liquor at these events … yet.

• But Bar Solita is down the street if you want to get their giant 96-ounce Super Solita Moscow mule ($52) and split it with four people before heading over.
