this is tempting


NEW! 2016 marks the TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY of our most critically acclaimed album! To celebrate, Sub Pop has repressed it onto Limited Edition Splattered Blood colored vinyl

You got a turntable again?

I do…but considering an upgrade as it's in bad shape

I think one of your old ones is downstairs gathering dust.. not sure how well it works..at some point I switched from that one to the other one you gave me…. but you could have it back if you want it

For the GBV fans not opposed to reissues

^ cool…but don't have $500 to drop

this is what I was looking at…ya know as it has to be a display piece too if it's going to be in the family room

That will set me back about $300

big old meh.

It is official! Crooked Beat has a NEW LOCATION!! We will be in North Alexandria at 802 NORTH FAIRFAX STREET. It is 2 blocks from the waterfront and not too far from the Braddock Station Metro (Blue/Yellow Line). It is also only a few traffic lights from DC via GW Parkway.
We hope to be reopened by the end of August. Stay Tuned!!

One step away from the annals of history.

incredibly overpriced for used scratched up vinyl ………not sure what other people bought/buy there…

the three record stores I like for used vinyl in the DC area- in no particular order- are

SOM Records
Record Exchange
CD Cellar

I have to be honest that I don't think Crooked Beat will make it out there.. anyways it doesn't really matter as the owner sells the good stuff online….I see him at the post office often mailing a bunch of record mailers. same as that other store on U St (Joint Custody)… Joint Custody in particular lists THOUSANDS of records online..they sell the not so hot stuff at the store

Record stores i like don't do that…I mean its one thing if you have a $2000 record… I can see listing it on Ebay… but if your'e listing a lot of your records online/ and in particular most if not all of the good stuff .. then I don't see the point of shopping there…..I can go online!

that is a pretty bad location, might as well be in Herndon :)
weird little hidden strip mall more than a few blocks from any other shopping

Well, that blows.  I'll never make it out there.

I guess Joe's will never open at this point?

I keep seeing "next month." However, he seems to post that every single month. I think it's getting closer though.

good listing/review of the current DC record stores
they mention that Joe's is still in limbo

good read

I've never been to Hill and Dale, but based on that photo and quote, I don't think they could possibly come off more pompous. Must be a store for the "audiophile"
