Record store stories?
I caught a glimpse of my store's owner browsing /mu/ on his desktop.
Unsurprisingly he was also a condescending dick.

Were you at Amoeba? It kinda bugs me whenever I walk in there and they're having a show I was unaware of. Pic related ends up happening, all of the rock and clearance aisles get blocked off. I don't mind looking through the electronic and house sections for the time, but they're nowhere as big and easy to lost in as used rock or the red tag clearance and dollar sections.
>>63935217
This is just a hometown spot, but man it bummed me out because I couldnt even get out of the store for like 10 minutes.
>go in record store for some house singles
>just the common dad rock and general anti intellectual shit that retards like /mu/tants and the local university students would buy
>the r&b section is a mess as well as the jazz section. they might as well have called it ethnic music because of how it was grouped together
>the electronic music section is a shelf that holds 50 12" and it's all shit
>the classical section is a total of 20 records and it's all shit
vinyl is lame af.
Whoever's in charge of what music is played in my local store keeps playing black metal and hardcore punk. It really ruins the atmosphere and gives me a headache.
>out with a girl, walking around, getting ice cream and whatever the fuck
>go to the only record store that's in this shitty town
>bbf3 is playing when we walk in
>just browsing, talking about music we like
>decide to play a little game where we would go and find an album we think the other person would like/hasn't heard of
>i pick out horse rotorvator
>she comes up to me with elton john's greatest hits
>mfw
Why do they have such shit taste, /mu/? Why?
>>63935807
Be honest, HAVE you ever heard Elton's Johns greatest hits?
>>63935909
I realize Elton John is an okay musician and all, but the aim was to specifically find an album that the other person HAS NOT HEARD OF, and would like based on the other person's tastes.
She also picked Queen's greatest hits when we tried again.
>>63935807
>thought she would like coil
wew lad. maybe both of you had shit taste
>>63935807
Because Coil is fucking good, you fucking baby? Just take your Elton John and enjoy that shit
>>63935997
>>63936014
lol what's wrong with Coil
>>63935807
So this is how virginity lives. With thunderous autism.

Fuck inner cities.
>>63935807
Sounds like she has good taste
Could you ask her to post her instead of you?
>Go to record store downtown earlier this year
>Only place in town I know of, as it had been recommended to me
>Really went out of my way, it's in a really shitty spot
>Go inside, pretty busy but small
>Only like one room
>Every single good used record has probably been sold, give up after only seeing shit for upwards of 20 minutes
>They have a really good selection of new presses
>Expensive as fuck though
>Some 13 y/o kid is wandering around the store carrying around a new copy of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea face up
>Not looking at anything, just wandering aimlessly for the 40 minutes I was there flaunting his superior taste
>Decide to pick up a copy of Pet Sounds for 30$ (!!)
>The two people ahead of me in line both by the newest Tame Impala LP
>As I leave I see In the Aeroplane Over the Sea kid getting picked up in an SUV by his mom
Since then I have found some mysterious hole-in-the-wall places around the same area with that weird musty that sell records as a secondary to used clothes or books or whatever. They usually have some hidden gems, probably because they're always empty and no one knows they exist.
>go into record store
>bargain bin has a ton of white labels
>I buy every single one of them
>spend around 30 quid on 50 records
>one of them is Eyez VIP
