There was plenty of room inside and outside to study or hangout with friends. Parking is very accessible with lots of parking in the front and side. So if you even wanted to host a club meetup, this place is great for that! They have cool drinks such as the Strawberry Fields Matcha which is my favorite and a Nutella Latte. What's even more exciting is their self serving cereal bar! You just grab a bowl and pick whichever cereal you want and enjoy it at your seat. Another bonus is their hidden antique store where you can shop for diverse items while hanging out. Overall, i'd come back to this place over and over again!

I've only gone in there twice so far and I've come out with 9 records in both trips because I loved their selection so much. The customer service is nothing special but they're helpful and friendly to me at least, probably because I'm a 14 year old. The atmosphere is great and they have fairly priced albums there. Great place to shop around and I'll definetly be coming back.

Ive been trying to get him to take a break and go to Batcave for some good music therapy and we were impressed by the owner's knowledge of the music in his shop as random a all the crates are. Super friendly and doesn't hover. We were the only ones in the shop at the time and he didn't distract by asking hundreds of questions, he just let us explore and answered questions as we had them. Highly recommend for good 'ole fashion treasure hunt. Owner provides business cards and invites you to call if you're looking for something specific--will even take requests to call you if he receives something you're looking for.

They even have a section dedicated to Numero Group releases, which I thought was super rad. If you want to try your hand at the bargain bin, there's a room with 50-cent records, too. There is a section near the front (you'll need to kneel) of clearance records underneath some New Arrivals. The folks who work here know and love music, so if you have any questions, I'm sure they'd be happy to chat about it.

I always end up walking out with more than 2 records each visit as their pricing and selection is worth visiting each time. The layout of the shop is great. I recommend starting left side of the shop and work your way around to the right side. You will find all genres sorted out and organized in a very simple and easy to navigate way. Most of the newest arrivals (from folks who are selling or trading their records in) to the back left side. I like starting here just in case I end up finding something cool that just came in. It's a nice way to be able to see what came through to the shop in the last day or two and these records are always diverse in genre. I really enjoy the vintage collection the shop has as decor here. I have seen 8-track players, lunch boxes, older posters from classic albums, cassette players, and even some cool nostalgic childhood toys. I kept smiling at each vintage or throwback items I saw that often tells you "not for sale" or "NFS" stickers on it. As a record collector I take the condition of records seriously before purchasing. I am the annoying record collector who will slide the record out of the sleeve and bend it up to the light to check for scratches, dirt, dust, etc. The last few visits at Crazy Rhythms I have been purchasing and not checking the condition or quality because I trust what I am getting is going to be playable and no bumps/hiccups when I do play them. You will get very good to high-quality records here no doubt. Just heads up - every record collector should know that the cheaper the price (aka clearance or discounted items) usually the quality will suffer but THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE. You will get better than great quality records and anything that is priced low is probably overstock, common record/selection, and is always priced fairly. You can trust in this record store. Trust. Parking is super easy - just pull right up to the front of the store or park in the private lot. Even when the tourist attractions are busy around the store you will most definitely be able to stop in without having to worry about parking. Parking is never a thing for me even when Fiesta is happening. Check out the selections I have picked up in the few times I have come thru in my photos.

While the selection of books and movies is on the smaller side and leans more toward vintage finds than brand-new releases, we always leave with something great! On our last visit, we picked up three Disney VHS tapes and over 40 Magic cards at just 10 cents a piece. The lady at the register was so kind--she even gave us a free plastic deck box for the cards! At checkout, there's also a fun setup of enamel pins, cute figurines, and knickknacks to check out. It's definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area--you might just find a neat hidden treasure!

Little discernible organization - most LPs are just sitting in bulging, decomposing cardboard boxes or randomly stacked on top. Very few records are priced, so you've got to walk them down to the 1st floor, where the antique mall lady at the money cage will make up prices on the spot. Many great cratedigging finds turned out to be empty covers just shoved in with the actual vinyl. Honestly, in the total disarray and the mess and the chaos there's a real record store in there. But overall, what I saw was disrespectful to the LPs.

Or if you think of a movie that you haven't seen in a while, do the same! If you aren't in the mood to browse, this way is much better.

The prices are fairly reasonable. Used CD and DVD stores are probably going out of business because of Amazon and Ebay but let's hope this one sticks around for a while for the "get it now" instead of "buy it now" factor. P.S.
