It's got a lot of everything and super cool limited edition, obscure and promotional items due to being in Hollywood.

Fantastic music store. This is what they should all be like…read more I came in on a recent trip to see Cannons play at the Bowl. I stopped in the next day to browse. Let me say, I was impressed!! I have never seen a music store this big, not even in the 90's! I was able to find some albums I was looking for and I really enjoyed browsing the entire store. The staff was super helpful and we chatted about bands we enjoyed.

Now my new favorite vinyl shop ever!…read more I went to work in LA for the day, and I wanted to buy the new Beyonce "B'Day Album". What better place than to get it at the place she did a surprise pop up /signing for "Cowboy Carter". (Not that I was expecting her to be there ) But if there's a place in LA ready to celebrate the Queens "Bday" it would be at her favorite spot. Definitely, no regrets. It was in stock! Yay! Staff was so nice and even one gave me my own Photoshoot. I forgot his name. But I'm posting his pic! thank you for making my Beyoncé birthday celebration epic.

And while we didn't find the particular albums that we were looking for, we were blown away by the sheer ambiance and amount of product they do possess. Being a child of the 70's and '80s, we could have looked through their collection for four or five hours easy since I think those were the greatest decades of music with artist who not only achieved legendary status, but even one hit wonders that what have you going back into time. In fact, we were joking with the staff that we easily could have opened and closed the place down by doing an entire day shift right alongside them! The place really blows you away from a 5 senses standpoint as well. The sights, sounds, and smells all hit you at once-and in here and on this occasion, that was a great thing. If you follow a little hallway it leads you into a completely different section into what seems like a another small universe or at least galaxy. Once on the other side of this hallway which leads you to another portion of the building entirely, your met with even more records and additional musical and odd treasures. To top it off, a bar with alcohol awaits you! Lol You can't make this place up! Bottom line here folks is this is a really cool, cool place-especially for those who love classic music, a good beer, and the idea of hunting for what you want. I'd highly recommend this place....just be prepared to put in some serious time for research and for your senses to be able to take it all in.

Endless Noise Coffee whips up a damn good Turkish coffee. The bold flavor reminds me a bit of…read moreVietnamese phin coffee, but the flavor profile is a bit smoother to my taste. It's brewed in a copper cup and heated by using scalding hot sand. Seriously. They have an electric sandbox machine used to boil the coffee, replicating the traditional Turkish method of brewing coffee from hundreds of years ago. I like the original Turkish Coffee and taking it black. The coffee is so smooth that you don't need milk, and in my opinion you really should experience the full aromatic flavors of the Turkish coffee without the milk covering it up. You get a little butterscotch on the side too. More than just a coffee shop, Endless Noise is a testament to human ingenuity and the creative spirit. Tucked away in what I (for lack of better words) call Santa Monica's "warehouse district," Endless Noise began as strictly a recording studio- and a damn good one too. The owner used to serve Turkish coffee to his clients. One day, he decided to start selling vinyl records to the community. Then, he started offering his Turkish coffee as well. Why not? I've been trying to grab a coffee here for two years, but I always made the mistake of coming on the weekends when they were closed. I don't know why I decided to try again today of all days, on a Monday afternoon. But as I approached the store and saw their door open for the first time, I felt like I was stepping into a dream and taking a break from reality for a bit. Shout out to Aiden, the incredible barista running this joint. What can I say? Endless Noise is good people through and through.

Ok disclaimer: This place is kind of Prizicey overall (that's Jonny slang for wait till I get paid…read moreto go here or perhaps get a better job that pays me what I'm worth). Here is the news: Almost every t-shirt, denim jacket, military jacket here is wonderful. Especially the t-shirt collection. Amazing shirts that would be like the 'golden boy' of anyone's collection. Some t-shirts so cool that strangers would see you wearing that and say 'that is the shit.' Really a great selection and with that comes the the fact that you will have to drop a cool Benjamin Franklin to own one of these shirts. Now I own a few vintage shirts that are up there in the top echelon of the vintage t-shirt rankings....but those took me years of thrift shop pillaging...if time is money...this just might be a better investment....might. Parking is pretty dang easy too.

I had to resist the urge to buy every cool art and children's book I came across there. Crystal helped me navigate the store and find an excellent gift for a dear brother. The rare books are understandably expensive. They're treasures. But their main stock is super affordable. I got 3 great books for $12.

She's not the owner so I hope the owners see this, but I didn't appreciate the way she spoke to me. She said to me you know it's just that children's books don't do well here and I said OK so I will not bring children's books to you. And then I said you know your website really has no information about what you're looking for. If children's books don't do well here you might say that she will it changes all the time. She was not nice and she just could've said they're not what we're looking for today. Finally, she knew I was going to go get my car and bring it around to take the books that they did not want and could not wait five minutes to go on her lunch break so her assistant had to go in the back to get her to tell her to come back to the front so that she could help me load the car. She knew I was going to get the car. It was five minutes. This woman should not be helping the public. She is not nice and she has a bad forward facing presentation of the store. i've only had lovely experiences buying and selling here in the past.
