    i fucking HATE record man.

    i'm recommending the store BEHIND record man. no idea if the two are related at all, or if it even has a name, but if you haven't been, i recommend going if you're on the peninsula. i think their LPs are flat-rate, like $5, and quality shit. i ended up with like 4 or 5 not so common Boss records, and some 80's punk stuff. 

  2. the record man in redwood city is so so, but i've had a lot of luck with the store located directly behind it. LOTTTA good stuff like you mentioned for good prices.

     

    vinyl solution in san mateo would be worth a stop as well. more new stuff, but tons of weird used records, tapes, movies, etc. as well.

     

    in the city, there's no better record store than Thrillhouse. 1-2-3-4 Go! would be a close second.

     

    PS i've lived here my whole life.

    I don't see it as a negative if 100 people want to back Joyful Noise at $100 a month.  As far as I know, they sent a brief email about it to current VIP subscribers and are not putting out intrusive ads on our Facebook/Instagram feeds asking us for $10,000.  Am I going to do it? No. But, if I had the extra money, I'd love to do something similar with art-based companies I believe in or want to see stay afloat.

    i hear you, i do. and i read the whole thing you wrote earlier as well. i think you have very valid points. my position is simply that the label consistently puts out boring music and instead of improving that aspect, they come up with marketing, subscription-based strategies so that they sell you the crap whether you like it or not -- ie. how is there a waitlist before it was even offered for sale? inquiring minds wanna know!

     

    you're right, if someone more interesting was doing this, i'd be all over it, but yeeeeesh to MOST(and that's kind) of the records these guys put out.
