This record store is the most out of the way for my wife and I but we make sure to make time…read morebecause of the way Rick, Sean and the whole team treat us when we're there. Since the first time we showed up til this day, there's always someone on the floor ensuring proper service and offering anything they can to elevate your experience. The selection is wonderful and at a great $ for the consumer. Hoping to get my brother a nice tour of the place when he visits, it's a must stop for any music lover.

I popped into Karma Records after a few times driving by it. Who knew where was such a slapper of a…read morerecord store on the east side? Apparently, many people knew, because Karma has been around since 1970, and it's the oldest record store in Indianapolis. OK! I'm obviously late to the game. Usually, I visit record stores just to browse, but this time, I visited to find a specific album. But when I asked the kind people behind the counter to look up the album for me, I found out the album that I had in mind was actually out of print! So I could order it online, but it would cost like five hundred dollars or some obscene amount. The helpful people at Karma offered to order other albums by the same artist. But I didn't want that, and instead just browsed the selection of records that Karma. There are a lot of records here. Surely, if you're not dead set on a specific out-of-print record like me, you will find something here. They also have CDs. And the cool people at Karma are willing to order whatever you want (assuming it's not out of print), and it will show up at the shop a few days later. Man, you didn't ask, but this place smells like incense, I tell you what. Which is appropriate, I guess, because they sell incense here. I just mention in case you're sensitive to incense.

The store is well organized and clean. Staff are super friendly and helpful. We didn't find…read moreanything this trip but they have plenty of items. From movies to music and novelty items. The cases are locked up so you have to ask for items out.

They recently opened up this location and I havent been disappointed. Everything is very well…read moreorganized and for the most part the staff are nice and attentive. The last time I went in to sell, it did take a few minutes to get an employees attention to check my items in, but it wasn't a super big deal. I'm sure as time goes on and they're able to get more staff on, they'll be just as awesome as the location in Castleton. I'll definitely be back soon. I've been a regular at their other location for a few years and I'm glad to see them expanding (and opening up a place closer to where I live).

Updating my review of Luna Music and bumping it up from four stars to five. This is because a) Luna…read moredeserves all five stars; and b) it's been nine (!!) years since my last review. In my last review, I think I complained about being a tired mom with macaroni and cheese stains on my pants. Well, nine years later, I'm still a mom but fortunately less tired, the stains on my pants are from red wine and vegan tzatziki, and the kids I made macaroni and cheese for have grown up and are very interested in music. And they ask me to take them to Luna Music. I'm always happy to oblige. My oldest kid love Luna Music because he can find albums for the bands that he listens to. Bands and artists that are not on my radar at all (Blood Orange? Anyone, anyone? Bueller?), but he loves them, and it makes him happy to find them here in vinyl. Luna has a lot of new music on vinyl. This is the place to visit in Indianapolis if you're looking for any kind of new music. They are on top of it. In fact, I subscribe to their weekly newsletter just to keep abreast of the new music that drops every week. Luna Music keeps me young and able to relate to my children, who have astounding musical taste for their age. Luna skews toward records, but they also have a smaller selection of used CDs, as well as a collection of used cassette tapes that are smaller still. You can also find zines, local artwork, greeting cards, record players and other fun things. The people who work here are super friendly and not at all snobby. There are no Jack-Black-from-High-Fidelity people here!

Had an occasion to make a return trip to Luna Music and it was as rewarding as our earlier visit…read more Chill vibe and friendly staff. Even helped us with a lunch spot recommendation. . Hope this business continues to thrive.

Cute little thrift shop in downtown beech grove. They were open for first Friday for the first time…read morethe first of august. My husband and I recently acquired a record player so we have been slowly building our collection up and they had all kinds of albums that you cant hardly find and if you do they want and arm and a leg for them. They were selling all of theres for under 10 bucks a pop. They had other stuff inside too like clothing and used guitars.

Found this place on complete accident! GO TO THIS SHOP! Chris is awesome and has a great collection…read moreof vinyl! Fantastic prices and variety. I could not think of a better small business to shop. He had stacks and stacks of $1 records, but keeps the special treasures separate ( which makes it easy if you're looking for a specific album) in its own area.

We frequent here often and it's our opinion that it is the better of the Indy stores. The selection…read moreis usually decent and the prices, for the most part, are fair. The staff is friendly as well. The store could use some updating. It seems kinda blah, especially compared to their competition. We've never sold anything here so can't speak to that side of the business.

I've been to all kinds of used cd/dvd/game places before. This place is the best by far. They…read morehave pretty much anything you can imagine, media wise. They have a lot of old games for NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. All kinds of systems too, I think I saw an Atari Lynx in there one day! WTF! The place is loaded with DVDs. The east washington store has the best selection from what I've seen. I stumbled upon the Antoine Doinel Criterion Collection box set there a while back for sixty bucks and it was in perfect condition. All of the DVDs and CDs that I've bought there have been in pristine condition. The only bad thing to say about the place is that it's PURE EVIL. Your wallet WILL leave lighter than when it came in.

Been at World half a dozen times since I've moved here and always seem to leave with a record I…read morenever wanted. The owner seals the record and then grades it with a sticker on the bag. You can't look at the vinyl at all. So weird, like the stuff in there is rare. It's not! And Our opinions of what's NM are pretty far apart. The guy is nice enough, and we always seem to chit chat about the grand old days of collecting which I appreciate. But what is just nuts,!this last time in, a couple boxes of records were on the ground and low and behold, it looks like some good stuff. Blue Note re from the mid 70's. Frank Zappa. When I started digging he stopped me and said they weren't for sale and have been around for 10'years. They weren't his personal collection, he just had no interest in pricing or selling them. Yet, there they were in the shop. Yeah, I won't be back anytime soon. He has lots of incense if that's your thing. #sellrecordsmake$

After spending over an hour looking through albums. Playing songs on my phone to see if I want to…read morepurchase vinyl. Apparently one of the owners watches record store remotely and called in to employee accusing me of switching albums in the covers. Employee then checked the albums and told owner I wasn't. To be profiled is the Worse experience I EVER had at this store and I WOULD never recommend this record store to anyone !!!

For a wheelchair user, I seem to have a weird fascination with everything in the world that's not…read moreparticularly accessible. Case in point? The Irvington Lodge. I love this building. I would never really recommend the building for wheelchair users, though I've managed to get around it fairly well. The building began development in 1921 and was completed in 1922. Like many Masonic Lodges, the ground floor was intentionally designed to allow for retail spaces as this would help support the Lodge. If you're familiar with the Irvington Lodge, then you know that it bears on it the rather ominous "Lodge #666" marking. It seems fitting to have this be in a neighborhood recognized for its many haunted locations, but there's no denying it even creeps me out a bit. The building was rumored to be the host of Ku Klux Klan meetings in the 1920s - KKK Grand Dragon D.C. Stephenson lived only a few blocks away in a mansion on University Avenue. Until 1950, the Lodge also hosted the Irvington Post Office. The Irvington Lodge continues to be an actively utilized building. Retail spaces are taken by Irvington Vinyl & Books, Hampton Designs Studio & Shop, and LVLUP Gaming Lounge. Additionally, Mosaic Church uses the Lodge's entire 3rd floor. Accessibility is most challenging in the 1st floor retail spots, though I noticed during my recent visit that Irvington Vinyl & Books had installed a bit of a ramp trying to help the situation. It's certainly not ADA, though it is an improvement. You can get into the first floor of the lodge. There is an elevator to the 2nd and 3rd floors. The 2nd floor includes a theatre room, reception room, a fully functioning kitchen, and a buffet area. You can rent these facilities and the rates are pretty market friendly. The Theatre Room has over 2300 square feet and many period touches still in place. It's rather stunning. The Reception Room is right about 1400 square feet. The 3rd floor has a couple of large main rooms. Hardwood floors are in place throughout and there's a stunning balcony that would be great for a wedding (unless you're in a wheelchair - then it would suck). This is one of those buildings I can't help but love. I'd give almost anything to have an office here, though it would inherently be a not particularly wheelchair friendly one. You also have close proximity to the Irving and nearby Irvington area businesses. Renting the facilities requires the usual liability insurance in place and a deposit, though rates are pretty friendly. They don't have preferred vendors - so, it offers flexibility that some venues don't. The Irvington Lodge was acquired, I believe, around late 2017-2018 by longtime Eastside resident Yasha Persson and a team. Given the pandemic was right around the corner, it was a challenging time to acquire such a beautiful building. However, here's hoping it continues to be such a beautiful, vibrant part of Irvington.
