How awesome is a used record shop? It's like treasure hunting, recycling, and music appreciation all at once. Such good karma. Not that I have anything against digital media, but these records are already out there, a lot of them are classics that haven't been released on CD, and for the true music aficionado, even if you can't afford to buy everything you see, it's still interesting to know what's out there. This is what comes to mind while on a recent shopping trip to Recycled Records. Unlike with bookstores, it's just too overwhelming when there are a bunch of unorganized records in piles, so I appreciate the tidy organization… and there are formats here that aren't vinyl, but that's really where it's at far as this place is concerned.
