When I first walked in I was a little overwhelmed. It's pretty small and there is stuff everywhere! Some collectibles, lots of cassettes and a nice vinyl section. I found two records I really wanted, one was overpriced for my taste and I bought the other. An obscure German metal band from the 80's. There was a scratch that concerned me, so the owner of the store put it on the turntable and it played right thru it. I have no doubt there were other gems in the store but I was short on time (the wife was waiting in the car).

Once inside you'll discover this place is about as big as your living room. Near the entrance, you'll find lots of recent arrivals to sift through and most of the records do have a grading mark on them and are individually priced. There really is a very good selection here and it does not look at all picked through. The rare and expensive stuff is featured on the walls and off to the side there is a small bargain room where you can pick up records from $.99 to $3. What you will not find here is vintage equipment or inner archival vinyl sleeves, but they do have the outer plastic sleeving. They do have an upstairs where they have music lessons. Prices here are pretty much in line with what I've seen at other well to do record stores. If you're a serious vinyl collector, this place should be on your list. Informative photos included.

They do have a lot of new and old vinyl including much of it in the $2.50 bargain bins. All the records in the bins are under alphabetical order, however, no artists are listed in between the letters. It is sectioned by hip-hop, folk, jazz, electronic, blues, rock 'n' roll, country, etc.. They do have some 45s and CDs for sale, but I spotted no cassette tapes. They also do not sell any vintage stereo equipment or speakers. I found the prices to be fairly reasonable, but some were a little high. As an avid vinyl collector, I'd give this place 3 stars based on their decent inventory and friendly service.

I was raised on Saturday Night Live. My parents would always turn on Saturday Night Live every…read moreSaturday after I went to bed and as I got older, I would eventually get to stay up and watch the cast of the early 2010s. Even from there, my parents would show us SNL skits during their holiday specials as well as clips on early YouTube. SNL not only opened my eyes to some of the greatest comedians of this decade, but introduced me to more than just the artists heard on mainstream radio. SNL introduced me to so many great indie and alternative artists. Because of this, I became a huge fan of Saturday Night Live entering my adult life. After hearing how Lorne Michaels' private collection and archives would be heading to a free exhibit at the Henry Ransom Center, I knew I would have to check it out as soon as possible. With my girlfriend coming to town the weekend after my birthday, we made a plan to hit a few museums across the University of Texas campus starting with the Henry Ransom Center. Before you even see the Lorne Michaels Collection, you can see the Niépce Heliograph, the first ever photograph, and the Gutenberg Bible. The Lorne Michaels Collection is the highlight of the visit. As you walk through the exhibits, you first start with the history of comedy on SNL, Lorne's early work before NBC, and the origins of SNL. From there, you get to see the order of the show from the cold open, the monologue, sketches, pre-tapes, musical performances, and more. There is a real cue card from Paul Simon and Sabrina Carpenter's cold open performance from SNL 50 on display. From there, artifacts and history from each decade are highlighted, from Matt Foley's costume, the cowbell, a tribute to the first episode following the September 11 attacks, a Five-Timers jacket, and more. The best part of all of this is that the exhibit is entirely free to the public and there is so much more than what I am sharing. The collection is on display until March 20, 2026, and if you are a fan of Saturday Night Live, comedy, or television as a whole this is an exhibit for you. RIYL: Saturday Night Live, like duh?

It's free and open to the public in Austin and lasts an entire weekend each year (Friday-Sunday). It's free to the public and held at various locations. For example, this year, March 2026, it took place at Jackalope South, Mueller Park, and Pan Am Park (aka Rec Center). There are a variety of genres included from West African and Brazilian music to New Orleans brass, bagpipes, and everything in between. It brings together a collaboration of community, music, and art. Family-friendly events. You can't help but have a good time.

Lots of brass and drums and hilarious costumes; some really good music and some just playful, groups from Austin and across the country. What struck me was the pure joy coming from the musicians as they played and danced in these interestingly diverse groups - it was amazing.

A terrific, very Austin kind of experience that, according to their web page, actually started in Massachusetts.... This was the first year of Honk! TX, and I hope it becomes a tradition!
