spindle spider dot comThis was maybe the most run down Savers I’ve been to, at least from the outside. In a shady darkened parking lot, their neighbor had moved out. Not sure who Savers got this building from, it is huge and the exterior looks like hell. I’ve also never seen that slogan ‘The Thrift Department Store” before […]
I made my first trip to New Haven a little over a year ago and made a return journey here in early 2018. This time I took the bus north to Hamden to check out Replay Records. First I walked west on Elm from my hotel and got on the 228 bus north on Whitney. […]
Back in Connecticut, got surprised by the chalkboard outside this place. I was excited for a minute, until I entered and found that their inventory consisted solely of fancy new reissues. I did take the time to go through them then I got the hell out of there.
I’ve been to the Plainfield/Avon area a bunch of times now but somehow never bothered to check the area for record stores. Obviously I underestimated the area because I found Rock Bottom Treasures on a cursory glance at the map! I had my work planned for a Sunday which gave me a very leisurely drive […]
The old Savers space back behind what was once known as Jewel ‘Grand Bazaar’ finally has a new tenant. I don’t know how many (any?) vinyls I’ve pulled out of SAs in the past, but it is few, that’s for sure. So I wasn’t excited to check this out but as it is in my […]
It’s the places in your backyard that you miss the most easily sometimes. I was headed out to Niles and took a different route than usual, and went right by this place. I immediately checked the clock and quickly calculated what time I thought I might be headed back then checked if I could make […]
I’ve run through the Gibsonton/Apollo Beach area twice now, most recently back in September. I had more time on this trip than the others so I tried to take advantage. I first stopped over at Almost New Thrift but they were closed and left a note on the door to that effect. A bit dejected, […]
I’ve been awfully spoiled lately with the opportunity to travel to many large metropolitan areas. Finally I was make in a small town in Indiana – now this feels natural! I swung through a Goodwill in town – plenty of vinyl to be had. It was nothing doing, but I did find a mono copy […]
Back in Minnesota! I booked a flight for under $200 and did about 90 minutes of work in Hastings. Then I decided to stay in downtown Minneapolis and I found a really cheap room. Had plenty of time to kill that afternoon and again the following morning before my flight left. First up was Electric […]
It was very exciting to come to work in Seekonk because it would allow me to check Massachusetts off of my list. So I made plans to stop on the way from Logan airport because I assumed that there was nothing in Seekonk, and even if there was, I might not have time to stop. […]
