It’s cool because it’s not really a record store and I don’t think a lot of people know that the place actually sells vinyl, since the store always seems to have some great and eclectic records, usually for around $2. I would imagine that their selection would be much more picked over if people knew about some of the things I’ve found there.</p>
<p>Here’s what I bought this afternoon:</p>

</em></a></li>
</ul>
<p>I was disappointed by some of the things I saw today, though. They had a copy of Bob Dylan’s <em>Nashville Skyline</em>, but when I looked at the album it had deep gouges going across both sides, like some literally took a knife to the surface of the record; it was obviously unplayable. They were asking $5 for the album, which tells me that someone saw the cover and slapped a price tag on the jacket without looking at the actual vinyl. It was pretty sad.</p>
