Charity shops where you buy 2nd hand goods, are recycling and the money goes to charity- win all round.

My record store had 8 hours of live music and 3$ LP's. It was awesome.
EVERY BAND kicked some major ass. I didn't have a bunch of money, so I only got Explosions in the Sky's Those who tell the truth... and Stardeath & White Dwarfs' I Can't get away/ The Birth 7".

Also, I met the Flaming Lips without even realizing it.
They were surrounded by fangirls and they were asking them questions.
When I walked by I heard one of them say, "lyk, omg, so what is your favorite Super Furry Animals album, I like Radiator the most hahahaha".
Now, I didn't know they were talking to Wayne Conye, but I butted in and said, "I think Radiator is their most overrated piece of work, I like Love Craft the most". Wayne agreed and said that was one his favorites. The Fangirls got pissed at me.
I didn't find out that I just met The Flaming Lips until 5 minutes after that.

I hate people that treat musicians like super beings... especially fangirls.

There are still a few great ones here in the Philadelphia area. One in Princeton University campus area too. I miss browsing through record stores. It's great to be able to download or find anything you want online but it lacks the communal experience of record-browsing. The feeling of not knowing what you're gonna find or that treasure hunt feeling of searching for "The One" album or piece of Holy Grail you've been looking for. That's why I like flea markets and yard sales. Always good for old out-of-print albums and cds. Cassettes too. I still have my tape player.

Absolutely. AKA on 2nd street is one of my favorite record/CD stores ever. And for old vinyl, Philadelphia Record Exchange is incredible. If you've never been, it's basically a house full to the brim with records on three floors. I could spend all day in that place.

Haha. Record Exchange still has some of my old albums from back in the day on the wall. Back when I was still struggling and had to sell some of my babies. "sniff!! sniff". I used to hang out there all day back in the late 80s. Don't get downtown much anymore and South St is pretty much a drag. Also that used book store about 50 yards away on the same block at 5th and South had a great used section in the back. Don't even know if it's still there anymore. They had quite a few of mine showcased too.

Heh. For all I know I've probably bought some of your old albums.

Yeah, South Street gets kind of old. And did you notice they got rid of all the trees last year? Whose dumb idea was that? There's no shade all anywhere there now. There are still some good music stores in that area though, like the Record Exchange and the Relapse store.
