spindle spider dot comI’ve only been in one other Goodwill store like this but apparently some stores sell literally by the pound. Everything is stuffed into huge tubs and its 90% clothes. While last time around I hit it big, I found about 5 records this time and it was all junk. Worse yet I went far out […]
A year ago, I conquered a trio of O-Town record stores all within a triangle near the Lynx Central Station. Frustrated with the lack of thrift stores, I searched Google again, much as someone looks into their empty fridge, hoping some scrap of food might miraculously appear. Well one did for me, but it was […]
Started off at the Goodwill in Eagan MN. I got into town a few hours before my colleague so I grabbed the rental car we were sharing and headed over. I instantly hit it big with some polka platters and even some barbershop! As I have done more than once, when I start seeing a […]
If my time in Atlanta was limited, Albany even more so. Most would have said ‘forget it’ and given up on digging for records at all. I didn’t even have a car! I was stuck at my hotel but guess what: Goodwill was only about 1.5 miles away! So I headed out. As I walked […]
I come in here pretty regularly but I don’t blog about it often. Seems like I’ve had worse luck here than at other St. V’s I’ve been to only one time. I did pull a Tappan Zee LP out of here not too long ago….and today, and Eng comp – really the last one I […]

I feel like at this rate the Sunday morning desperation will only lead to a trip 100s of miles away as we continue to dominate a larger and larger radius of record stashes across Chicagoland. This one only took us to Winfield which was closer than it sounded and it was a worthwhile trip at […]
I booked out of AA (no not the meeting) to make it to Funk Trunk before they closed at 7. A light rain had been falling for hours but I stayed dry and warm enough to feel pleasant. As I approached I couldn’t figure out where the store would be as it was nothing but […]
If anyone read this blog, maybe they would meet me face to face and discuss it with me. And they would probably criticize me for running a blog with ‘chicagovinyl’ as the subdomain when half of the posts are in other cities or even states. And I’d tell them to get lost. But luckily I […]
Easily one of the most awkward record transactions I have ever attempted to take part in. Had to run to the store and scoped this spot above on gsalr.com and it was basically on the way so we swung through. In fact, there were only two sales on the site which listed records in the […]
