    The store has a homey feel to it. I love going in to buy my incense and chat up 'crazy bob'

    I drove an hour to this shop to check it out and possibly buy a $15 record I wanted that was listed…read moreas VG+ on Discogs, as well as to shop for more titles. I could clearly see spending at least $100 there. While waiting for the owner to take care of another customer he aggressively asked if I needed help. I asked if he could retrieve a 2nd hand record he had listed on Discogs for me. This took him less than one minute to find. Upon inspection, I noticed a large amount of mold caked onto the record. I asked the owner if he could clean it off and test on his turntable, which was right behind him. His answer angrily was, "I don't play test records here." I then asked how he could grade this record for sale as VG+ on Discogs.com if it wasn't cleaned and play-tested. I pointed out that certain mold can eat through the vinyl grooves and the only way to tell is to clean and check. Further stating if I bought it on Discogs from him, I would dispute the sale if it played poorly and if he refused to accept a return. I also mentioned he would receive a bad rating for the poor grading. He then aggressively told me to leave the shop. On my way out, I told him that I had owned a record store for 15 years and would never treat a customer like this (I owned a very popular one, too). I then asked him if he was playing the part of John Cusack in "High Fidelity." I also told him I'm a known musician and that he would be called out online for his behavior. His response was to aggressively insist, "to take the f-ing record for free." I told him , "No, I don't want your negative energy in my car or record collection." Then I left. Soon after I left, I checked for another copy on Discogs to order and noticed he had removed the listing. I guess he decided to play-test it himself and realized that the record was not in the condition he had advertised. This gave me the last laugh, as his behavior toward me was truly unnerving. At the very least, he now understands that grading a record VG+ with mold caked on it, without cleaning it first, is a big no-no and also that being nice results in less reviews as such! Hey *Owner*, learn how to treat all people respectfully. I've been in the record industry for a long time--producing music, running a record label since 1990, and managing music distribution companies, etc. You never know whom you are talking to, so be nice to everyone unless they are being rude to you. I was nothing but nice to you... and now look what you made me do.

    If you're my 13 year old cousin, stop reading this right now. All others may proceed…read more When I was a kid, one of my strongest memories was getting my first discman for Christmas and my first few CDs that I called my own. I wanted to give my cousin the same memory, and since vinyl is the the thing these days I got her her own record player. I wanted to get a few albums to go with it so I grilled her on her faves artists then put together a list of some artists she may like based on her interests. Then I took that list and I went to Underground Sound's website to see what was in stock. I landed on two records I think she's going to really like (Tegan and Sara, "The Con" and the first Gorillaz record) and was able to purchase them online for instore pick up. While I love browsing through the stacks, the busy holiday time doesn't leave much time for digging so buying online for pick up was super convenient. And it was great to support a local record shop to boot! Physical media 4ever!!!
