ZepWhelp, my favorite hole in the wall music store went under
F in the chat
DylanI’ll pour one out for ya
Dexter@Tiezep Ah, that sucks man!
I'm lucky in that we currently have four good used record stores, but I just don't see how all of them will able to survive long term.
Wish I had some better record stores by me, but I should probably explore a bit more. You spin vinyl?
@DMcKibbins @Tiezep At home. I don't do any DJing or anything like that, hahaha. I started collecting a couple months ago, and probably have 100 or so records at this point?
Haha yea I’m hardly a DJ unless it’s just myself and a friend. That’s a great collection! I’ve got a few dozen of my own records and a ton of my dad’s old albums. Gotta go through them soon to find the gems.
You have any favorite albums (vinyl or otherwise)?
@DMcKibbins @Tiezep Favorite is probably my Willie Nelson and Friends live 2-disc set. It turns out it was recorded at show my dad was at. I've got a pretty dope Jamiroquai single of Cosmic Girl, a weird mashup single from 1980 that mixes Steely Dan and Michael Jackson... a favorite is hard, hahaha
Woah those are all great for sure.
I’ve got a pretty rare copy of Endless by Frank Ocean, but my favorite is a signed original pressing of Star Wars ep. 5 Empire Strikes Back.
My dad is friends with a contemporary of John Williams and had the chance to meet John at a show. A few days after meeting Maestro Williams the signed record showed up in the mail!
@Tiezep @DMcKibbins Hell yeah Daryl Hall and John Oates. And that Alan Parsons Project.
Ayyy Chicago!! It might be a divisive opinion, but I can’t get enough of Chi 7. Chi Transit Authority and Chi 6 also kick ass.
@DMcKibbins @Tiezep I have the 2-disc CTA, but it's in pretty rough shape. Dat Bargain Bin lyfe
@DMcKibbins @wheeljack I have a small collection mostly consisting of easy listening dad rock
@wheeljack sounds nice, I'm not one to think about the economic side of things but I would imagine you need to move A LOT of product to make a business of selling second hand records between $4-$10 sustainable
Pretty sure all but 4 or 5 of my records came from this local shop
