deletedunknown Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 did anyone read the article? this is pretty cool They say they're committed to stocking shelves and live lineups with local talent. David Lynch is scheduled to appear at the parking lot in West Hollywood on Saturday. And they devote a surprising amount of real estate to the record shop; it has its own separate building, which is kinda cool. I guess that's nice if I live in West Hollywood, but I live on the east coast, have plenty of record stores to choose from, and if I want to overpay for a bunch of organic food I can't afford I have Ellwood Thompson, and they have bluegrass groups play there every once in awhile.

whose_thare Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Ellwood Thompsons holla! I can only imagine these will be hella expensive. But it's neat to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'd like to know more about the selection and pricing. I live like 20 mins from West Hollywood and could pop over but not if it's the same general garbage that UO has at similar prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 The use of "FLIP" and "GROOVE" kills me. I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall of marketing meetings for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koljou Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Amazing picture...Great store placement also,right between the the frozen food aisle and slippers? They are next to the frozen food to keep them from warping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBOD Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 OMFG...the Whole Foods near me in Fairfax, VA put this up on their FB and I just can't stop laughing: Dibs on these storage units when they pull the plug on this lame attempt to attract hipsters too hip to go to whole foods.

bobbydrake33 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 My record store is next door to a whole foods. If it ever makes its way here I wonder if that would increase traffic and sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylebutcher Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Pressed on vegan wax. but really I love the exposure vinyl is getting but people at Whole Foods are the same who shop at Urban Outfiters so everyone at Whole Foods already spends 25 dollars on Bon Iver records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Glad this thread isn't a "I hate people liking what I like!" Thread..... Yet There's nothing elitist about thinking it's nuts for a grocery store to sell records. That's just silly. If anything this thread will become a vehicle for the worst food/record puns ever and I will love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
