Avalon Discs & Tapes

whoever wrote the review bagging on avalon obviously has no idea what good music is. and you don't have to smoke "drug paraphernalia" to understand that. they have some of the top local and underground artists along with the mainstream. so what if they carry pipes and bongs?? it music and paraphernalia go hand-in-hand. it is a great store to get the downtown feel of bellingham. great selection of music, posters, pipes and anything else a college attendant could want. keep up the good work guys! more

This used to be a good place to get music, but it's turned into a drug store now. They have a wide selection of drug paraphernalia, magazines and posters. But if you're looking for music, I wouldn't shop here. They are a new and used music store, but they music they carry is not generally a wide selection. It's mostly alternative stuff with bands I've never heard of (maybe if I used the drug paraphernalia then I'd know who they were?). I've gone there a few times to try to find an import of a more mainstream band but they don't carry it. I haven't made a purchase at this store since downtown Bellingham was the only place to shop. If you're looking for used tapes and CD's, go across the street because you probably won't find it here. more
