Supporting Local Shops Virtually


Recommended Posts

My local shop (Salem, MA) is selling all of his inventory through discogs. If you're around the Mass North Shore, place an offer for curb side pickup or delivery. He's a good dude and super super knowledgeable about all genres of music.

Darkside Records here in Poughkeepsie NY has a good amount of their inventory on discogs: https://www.discogs.com/user/DarksideRecords

 

As well as ordering from their site: https://darksiderecords.com/

 

Free shipping on orders $25+ and free delivery for anyone who happens to live within 15 miles of their store! They post their new used hauls on Tuesday mornings and new releases on Friday. Great store, help em out during this difficult time.

Free shipping on all orders, they typically do a 15% off coupons towards the 15th of each month although welcome10 should get you a 10% discount outside of that window.

I'm a big fan of Amoeba in general, but (as an East Coaster) I've only been to the one in SF. It was pretty awesome/ overwhelming. Hoping all these places (and especially the smaller shops) make it through this whole thing.

Hell yeah dude! I'm out from them by a 2 hour drive but I buy from them mail order as often as I can! Super fast shipping, great prices, and always tend to have the modern day Indie Variants in stock with no surcharges,

Park Ave CDs in Orlando, FL is selling on their website with free shipping https://parkavecds.com

They're also on:

eBayDiscogs and Amazon.

 

 

Wow. I lived in Orlando for 6 months at the beginning of 2000, and visited Park Ave weekly. Still have some records with the original cellophane and Park Ave price stickers on them. Glad to see they are still kicking.

I know a lot of stores are doing documentary rentals to make some extra dough. If yours isn't I have 2 different ones here:

Redscroll: (Other Music)

https://othermusic.vhx.tv/checkout/redscroll-records-presents-other-music/purchase

 

Limited to One: (Vinyl Nation)

https://m.bpt.me/event/limited-to-one/4567320

Vinyl Nation is brand new, so this one is pretty big. Other Music has been out, but it's supposed to be really good. Two great ways to support 2 cool stores.

the announcement I spoke of earlier.  if you're not into this..  please ignore..

 

"We are so proud to announce that we are a VANS Foot The Bill Partner! In collaboration with shop fav David Orellana, we have designed and released a special edition Limited To One sneaker. This is a dream come true for us! All net proceeds go back to help our small business, so when you buy a pair you are helping us keep the lights on and ensuring that we come back with a bang when this pandemic is over. For net proceeds to go directly to our store, you must keep the Limited To One design on the front of your shoe, everything else is fully customizable. Check out what we did below and use it as inspp to create your own unique pair!  Shoe quantity is limited so buy a pair before they are gone! 

Check them out HERE

The inspiration behind the design was the feel of a punk show flyer. We wanted to capture the feel of the Punk / DIY / NYC scene! 

Last but not least, if you buy a pair of our sneakers make sure you take a picture and share your final creation with us on Instagram under the hashtag #LTOxVansFootthebill"

Dunno if anyone saw, but Amoeba is doing a GoFundMe to help get them through.  Their target is pretty hefty, but it seems like they might get it.

I'm sure buying LPs helps out too, but margins are margins and straight donations always have a bigger impact.

Yeah, it's a real bummer. I pretty sure they can only operate on a mail-order basis. I've only ever been to Amoeba SF, and it was fantastic. I really hope they all pull through and come out on top. Even if they met their goal and just paid all their employees that's only $1000 per. :wacko: Cali is expensive (especially where their stores are located) and living in a similar economy in CT, I can attest that $1000 isn't going to do very much. I'm rooting for them all though!

I'm wondering about their rent situation.  That SF location cannot be cheap at all.

I'm sure it's absolutely ridiculous. The place is HUGE and it's right in Haight-Ashbury tourism shopping area. I just placed an order for a shirt and 2 LPs. Hopefully it helps a little. I know a donation is more direct, but I'm a dirtbag I guess.

Isn’t Amoeba LA moving soon because they couldn’t renew their lease because the landlord is selling out to a corporate building? I have to imagine their rent is insane. 

Amoeba LA owned the building they were in and sold it to a developer 5 years ago. They've been leasing the space from the developer since then, but are moving to a new location later this year. There was a bit of a kerfuffle in their Instagram comments referencing the sale price in relation to asking for donations, but they talk about it all in more detail here: https://variety.com/2020/music/news/amoeba-music-gofundme-record-store-fund-drive-vinyl-1234585476/.
