As I sped across the border into Tennessee, I spotted Candlelight on the way out. I know an antique mall when I see one and couldn’t believe my luck. Besides checking a new state off the list, I’d be able to hit another spot on the way back. Not surprised to see that just about […]
It took me a few days in Huntsville AL to understand that I was only 15 minutes from the state line. So at last, I check Tennessee off the list! Didn’t know when I’d ever get this one done. Saw a thrift store in Ardmore, I believe the street it is located on is actually […]
Nothing like a solid breakfast to service your hangover followed by perusing the junk at an antique mall next door! I have visited Oklahoma before but only in the capacity to check it off the list without enjoying it much. I had a plan to hit up a Starship Records but I got it pretty […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: very lucky to knock this state off the list and I doubt I’ll ever have another chance. Very lucky to find some work way out in the SW and had plenty of time to make the rounds. I’ll say off top that I came across a […]
It’s funny that I might write a negative review of a record store where I buy things, but write a positive review of a store where I walk out empty handed. For me, this is because once you get a certain amount of records, it no longer matters what you buy (or not), you are […]
This is my 4th trip through Iowa in the past 6 months or so, and my second time in Des Moines. This time I was here for 3 nights and had some downtime. I checked and while I had perused vinyl in Iowa before, it was a long time ago and not very thorough. So […]
Upon discovering the unfortunate demise of Raffe’s, I simultaneous discovered the birth of Technoir. As you can see in the store front above, it truly is the spiritual successor. It was a quick dual bus jaunt to take myself from my door step to Technoir’s which was nice on a bit of a blustery day. […]
Made my annual pilgrimage down to the south side to dig through records. Almost 6 years since I went down there. I just created a new tag to combine all my visits into one easy link so click away down below. I have documented 5 trips but I can think of at least one other […]
I was perfectly happy to check Nevada off my list with my visit to Record City. But that night I wanted to have a few drinks and selected the Huntridge Tavern at my watering hole. After a couple fairly wild bus rides I found my way and what do you know – there was a […]
Been planning this trip for a long time. A week long journey that starts in Phoenix, then ends here. I was going to take a bus but that didn’t work out, so I flew between cities. Record City was very conveniently placed, as I am staying (and working) near the convention center. I loved the […]
