thebiglebowski Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Since a couple of other people have asked this about their cities, I figured I'd try. I think I have a decent handle on the stores, but there may be some that I haven't been to. I have been to: Both Record Times Car City Records Dearborn Music (I've only been to Dearborn, not Canton) Anything else I'm missing, especially stores that buy Punk / Independent records???

martyk36 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Car City Records is amazing, I love that place. There's melodies in memories.....on gratiot maybe? a lot of hip hop/dj stuff but if you do some digging you can find some good stuff. my whole extended fam lives in Detroit, Car city is like a 10 minute walk from my grandma's house.

Yeah, that's my favorite too. They have the best selection of the music I listen to. It kind of sucks living in Motown. I do like some of that stuff, but most of the stores carry so much of that stuff and not enough from the past 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairgrowth2001 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 1)stormy records in dearborn owned by windy and carl of the band windy and carl(very nice people) (found stuff like scared of chaka, get up kids, casket lottery)also, has lots of obscure stuff that I have never heard of plus lots of used classics. 2)flipside in clawson is decent 3) encore records in ann arbor (found my first copy of jew clarity on black vinyl used and also bleed american in the same trip) in other words you never know what kind of used gems you will run into. if you go to encore you need to know that the indie vinyl is in the very front to the right when you walk in, the 45s in the middle of the store under some used jazz records or something like that. long live desirable discs(my favorite metro detroit area store, that went out of business like 4 or 5 years ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairgrowth2001 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I have never been to car city. It is on the way to school, so I will have to leave early one day this week and stop by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty sweet. Sometimes you gotta really look to find stuff, but the place is pretty much wall to wall vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 where's Car City? Shit. I wanted to find new places, not bring more competition into the store I already regularly visit... Anyways...It's on Harper between 8 and 9 mile.
