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.

Plus, there is a sweet, old dog named Huckleberry who is in the shop most days with the owner, Ben. When we visited, Huckleberry greeted us with wags and kisses, and showed us his new toy. Ben is another one. He is so nice and friendly, and explained to us the layout of his store and where we could find stuff. (He was so genuinely nice and friendly that I remembered his name, which is a big feat for me, as I almost never remember anyone's name!) Ben knew pretty much everything about all of the magazines he carries. He is very knowledgeable about the industry! You can find everything from Cherry Bombe to Kinfolk to Cereal to The Gentlewoman to Dazed to Garage ... so many art and fashion magazines, and food and lifestyle periodicals. My little magazine-loving heart was truly satisfied. They also carried many books and periodicals illustrated and written by local artists, including Things Organized Neatly. Ben seemed really proud of carrying local work -- he made sure to show us which ones were made by people from Indy.

PRINTtEXT recently opened in SoBro and carries an eclectic mix of periodicals and publications…read more Topics include fashion, design, food, arts, and so forth. As you browse through the materials throughout the shop, you never know what subjects you might come across. And many of the publications are of foreign descent. You can easily immerse yourself in a different world just by flipping through the magazines. I think PRINTtEXT might be on to something here. While there are ebooks, blogs, and various types of online content, it's a different feeling to have a hard copy of a book/magazine that you can physically hold on to. I am curious to know what the future holds for the shop. Perhaps they can leverage it as a place to bring people together and have discussions on anything and everything.

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!

Indy CD and Vinyl is like the old-school record stores I used to visit in my teens and 20s, oh so…read moremany years ago when I would actually purchase CDs and tapes. Except now, everything old is new again, and this record store actually has more records than anything else. So if you are a record collector, this is your place. They have new and used records, as well as quite a lot of CDs, cassettes, used DVDs, comic books and some records players and headphones for sale. It was my oldest son's idea to visit, because he loves record stores, and is proving to have impeccable taste in music. (He gets it from his mom.) He loves rap and hip-hop the most, and was a little disappointed that there weren't more albums by his favorite artists. I told him that I think album collecting tends to skew more toward rock and pop listeners, and people who listen to rap and hip-hop listen more digitally. That's my theory, but in any case, you should know that the hip-hop section is small. But the rock and pop section is large. This record store is a decent size, and in fact, there's a sign outside that says that they will soon be expanding. My son thought that the store was huge, but bless his ignorant heart: He didn't grow up going to the country's greatest record store, Amoeba Records in Hollywood, like I did. This is no Amoeba, but there's no place like Amoeba, and for a record store in central Indiana, Indy CD and Vinyl is really great. Two neat things about Indy CD and Vinyl: They have video games and pinball machines that you can play at the back of the store (for a couple of quarters). They also have a listening station, where you can scan the barcode of an album and listen to it before you buy it. It wasn't working when we visited, but that's cool that they offer that. No one in my household actually owns a record player, CD player or cassette player, so our visit was merely to look around and imagine the things we would buy if we had analog media players. My son did get a Tyler The Creator poster, though, so he was happy.

A new record store just opened in Indy! Take Care Records has vinyl, yes. But it also sells CDs,…read moreDVDs, VHS, books, comics and cassette tapes. It also buys these things, too, if you have any physical-media treasures lying around that you wanna make a buck from. The record shop is tidy and well curated. If I had a record player, I would have picked up a couple of gems. Alas, I do not! Why do I keep visiting record stores if I don't have a record player? Some would say I'm a glutton for punishment. But I like to think that I'm slowly manifesting a record player, and also, I just like to be around physical media, sometimes. It's nice to hold a thing that produces music in your hands, or look at the liner notes of a CD. Take Care Records also sells DVDs, like I mentioned. These, too, are well curated. I saw many obscure indie films, and a few concert DVDs, and films that I haven't watched in a while but would totally add to my collection. Although the joint isn't huge, there are a lot of gems everywhere you look, so this is definitely a place to check out if you're into collecting music, movies or other media. One thing to note about Take Care is that it is only open Thursday-Sunday! It's located in the same shopping center as Some Guys, and across the street from Taylor's Bakery. Lots of parking!

As of my review its a new record store that sells new and used records, books and some old school nostalgic VHS.

Their prices are comparable to other record stores around the area.

If a teenage boy declares that this is his "favorite shop in Indianapolis," that means a lot. If he…read morealso says that he could spend all day in your shop and not get bored, you probably have something good going. It's hard to impress teenage boys. I'm not a teenage boy (as far as you know), but I also think Disc Replay is quite neat. It has an amazing collection of used video games for a variety of platforms, like Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo DS, Gameboy, Wii, and even games for systems that old heads like me were brought up on, like the original Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. The prices for these used games are suuuuuper good. Like, I was seeing price tags with $1.99 and $3.99 on them. We picked up a Plants vs. Zombies Nintendo DS game for $14.99, which according to my kid was a good price for a game he really wanted. They sell everything from refurbished Meta Quest VR headsets to Tamagotchi, which I didn't even know kids played still! Wow! A blast from the past. That's another thing: If you're a person of a certain age and you want to wax nostalgic about your middle school/high school years to the teenager you brought with you, visit Disc Replay. In the back of the store are aisles and aisles of used DVDs and Blu-Ray movies. My teenager asked me if this is what Blockbuster used to look like. Bless his heart. I said no and patiently described the wonder that was Blockbuster. Kids today just won't ever know; it's a dang shame. But thankfully, physical media is still a thing, and if you want to pick up a DVD copy of You Don't Mess with the Zohan, you can do that here. The people who work at Disc Replay are friendly and know their stuff. They answered our questions, and you can tell they don't only sell video games and movies, but they partake in this culture, too.
