  1. There's lots on st. Marks..

    Kims has high prices for new but check out their used section...the people there don't know shit and you can grab some rare stuff on the cheap...they also have a great indie selection.

    Then sounds its cool...I usually only get promo cd's for 88 cents there...they have a very limited vinyl selection... its on the same side as kims....up some stairs..it easy to miss.

    There's also a small shop across the st from sounds...they've got a great jazz selection...its 99% used cds and records so I'm sure you'll find something...

    Basically I start by getting off the 6 train @ astor place and go straight up st marks...hit the 3 record shops and the comic shop then make a right and stop @ love saves the day and check out the sweet vintage toys(really pricey but fun to look @) then make a right down the next st and walk until I hit other music...(which has a great indie selection) upon leving other, I keep walking until I hit thompson st and drop like 70$...I've got a friend who lives on thompson so I generally stop there and have a beer & check out my loot... sometimes I go hitup bleecker records...but they close way early and I'm usually too drunk @ that point to bother.

    Enjoy....and have fun...this I find to be the best route...

    I'll have to do this route when I go. Unfortunately looks like plans have changed and I may not be going this weekend. I was really bummed.

  2. Bleecker St. Records is a few blocks from Generation. Im pretty sure its owned by the same people. anyway, theyve got a decent selection downstairs. not as much hardcore/metal/punk and Generation, but probably worth checking out.

    im interested in this thread too. i go into the city pretty often and basically only go to generation when im there. looking forward to hearing about some other good ones.

    EDIT- oh yeah, the address. 239 Bleecker St

    also, the record section downstairs closes like an hour before the actual store. so go to bleecker first, then generation.

    I'm looking for "indie" records.

  3. So since I'm moving around a lot with work, I get my records sent to my parents house. I love talking about records with my mom.

    cindy says:

    One black and white picture of a guy on a couch and a small poster of their tour this year

    Andrew says:

    cindy says:

    Only one picture and one poster

    Andrew says:

    i wonder if its a picture of mike or bob

    cindy says:

    You want me to email it to you?

    Andrew says:

    sure

    cindy says:

    I hope it doesn't get scratch going through the machine

    Andrew says:

    maybe dont do it then

    cindy says:

    It's a limited picture

    Andrew says:

    i thought it was a flatbed thing

    Andrew says:

    i'll see it later

    Andrew says:

    maybe i'll get carl to bring it to the concert on saturday

    cindy says:

    Its a flat bed at home - not here

    Andrew says:

    https://www.polyvinylrecords.com/bands/img/owen.gif - is it a picture of that guy?

    cindy says:

    It looks pretty close

    Andrew says:

    haha ok

    So I guess I got the picture of Mike. Also sounds like I will have to order a copy of this on black.

    Lucky bastard. Yea the one sleeping on the couch is Mike.

  4. I finally got this in the mail! It's beautiful!

    Only one bad thing. All the preorders were sent out with a #'d picture, half were Bob, the other half were Mike. I was hoping to get the one of Mike, but of course I got the one with Bob. So if anyone ordered this and got the pic of Mike, would you be willing to trade (just the picture).

  5. I just tried to get a job at a record store by me that just went on fire in the Summer and they're re-opening in December. However, they're not looking for anyone for their 5-9 pm shifts, just 10-5 shift, which I can't do because of school.

    Congrats on getting the job though!

  6. Do you have any sample work and AIM?

    goodcore.com - though i didn't do too much there

    swaglounge.net - all flash not totally what i would personally do but i had a hand in it

    i do web layout daily at work and do dynamic content generation, which would probably be helpful for the zine. i'm not on AIM much but you can email me.

    I'll just PM you then.
