kirbs84 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Sig's Lagoon on South Main is a pretty cool store. Selection won't be quite as good as Cactus, but if you go be sure to stop in next door at Taco's a go-go. You won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idlehero Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 SOUND EXCHANGE! - Indie, Punk, Emo, Everything new and used Really the only good recrod store in Houston. Cactus - some classic rock used stuff, lots of reissue vinyl solid place Vinyl Edge - lots of rock, punk, too much to dig through but as long as the owner isn't there you can get some good deals. But it's aaaalllll the way out by Intercontinental Airport and is far away from alot of us Houstonians Sig's Lagoon - not usually a goldmine of awesome stuff but a sweet independent store that carries toys, cd's, and other fun stuff Half Price Books (there are a few in town) - lots of classic rock, country, jazz typically and sometimes a punk record or two. I work for Half Price so I am a little biased haha Also, every two months there is a record show at the Hilton at 59 and Hilcroft, the next one is in October but I don't know the exact date.

rhythmgtr5 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 what other stuff would you guys recommend doing in houston besides record stores? I'm planning on seeing the Menil Collection and a few record stores, but that'll leave a lot of time left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamwecommunity Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 the museum district, the zoo, NASA... there are alot of dirty strip clubs on the north and southwest sides if you are into that .
