Favorite CD stores?
Not necessarily…
Concert posters and posters in general, have an artistic and graphic quality. (Look at the poster Grotty just bought, pretty cool). They can look even nicer framed.
Too bad your wife won't let you put posters up.

Originally posted by Rhett Miller:you are way wrong…remember the graphics show they had at bumbershoot? I thought many of those posters were pretty cool…this comment really surprises me, Rhett…and since when do I have any say about what you put up?

I dunno, I have tried to grab concert posters at shows before…
Anyway, I think those things are ok for a rec room, but just sort of tacky for a living room.

Generation Records in NYC is great. It's about a block from Washington Square Park and has a lot of indie and classic punk stuff, plus a lot of live bootlegs. Even better, there are a huge assortment of used live bootlets in the basement, some going for five or six bucks per disc. I dropped about 100 bucks there last weekend, but now have about 15 new discs to check out.
In west Seattle, Easy Street Records has a great selection, plus you can get a kick-ass breakfast there too.

That's the one I was trying to remember, though I've only been to the branch in Queen Anne, near the Space Needle.

And I hadn't bothered to check the links. I was assuming we were talking posters they hang at bars, which you sometimes see bands selling as merch, as well as on their websites.

I've got about 25 or so. My last acquisitions were from Voodoocatbox (the pictures don't do them justice):

I've got about 25 or so.ggw
do you frame them? if so, any recommendations for a framer?

If you want a custom frame, I use a place in Merrifield called Capital Art & Framing.
Originally posted by ggwâ?¢:I frame most of mine on my own. (For artwork and expensive items, I go to places like the one mentioned above). Custom framing can be expensive. The IKEA option is a good one - unfortunately, it's a pain to go to the store "near" me. IKEA also has frames for cd inlets w/ spot for the cd…for those of you that want to frame your cd w/ inlet.

I go to Michael's for frames. They have metal frames that you put together yourself. Different colors, etc. The tops and sides are sold separately. You can buy the glass there. I found the prices reasonable. You can also buy archival safe products (tape, backing, etc.) there, or at art stores.
I agree that there are great concert posters that deserve to be framed and put up. Dredj for one made proper prints that they were selling on nice thick stock. Sure maybe not up in the formal dining room, but the spare bedroom or the basement they are great. I have some great ones, probably not 25 but I might be there.
