not really. most everything closed over the last few years.

There is a small shop downtown that just closed last month... it was run by the folks from dead tank records. sucks cause that was the last decent punk/indie/hardcore record shop in town and they had shows, free schools on anything from politics to how to screen print.

there is also a shop at the beach (cd connection) that is starting to carry more vinyl, but its nothing special at all.

Oh yeah, there is a newer place by my work that carries vinyl, but its all old rock, pop, r&b... no punk rock

this is a list of things in tampa that eric the red sent me a few months ago... my parents live in tampa (odessa) so i try to hit up a few when i go home, which isnt very often.

TAMPA STORES

Mojo Books and Records

http://www.myspace.com/mojobooksandmusic

- tons of records, found a couple of good used scores here in the $6-9 range, but if you're looking to drop $50 on a joy division record or $125 on a green day LP (yes, they have it), this is totally your space. tons of books too, i've spent hours here before.

Sound Exchange

14246 N Nebraska Ave

Tampa FL 33613

Phone: 813-978-9316

(their webstie is www.soundexchangemusic.com, but aparently isnt working anymore)

- tho i havent had much luck here record wise, a few of my friends have had GREAT finds, i just seem to miss out on them all. this store is packed with tons of stuff, lots of used CDs/DVDs/etc, and a huge "budget" bin. search the vinyl sections by letter (they'll have huge sections for artists beatles/led zep/etc), thats how you'll find the goodies.

Vinyl Fever

http://www.vinylfevertampa.com/

- this is where i go a bunch, decent selection and has most newer releases. depending on when you go it may be cleared out for good used stuff, but you might walk in a few hours after they put out the new stuff and luck out.

ST PETE STORES (its a drive over the bay, about 30min or so)

Daddy Kool

http://www.daddykool.com/

- record store thats been around forever, tied in with one of the larger show promoters in st pete. a pretty good selection of stuff both used and new

Bananas Music

http://www.musicfinder.com/

- this place is huge, i mean HUGE. its also one of the most annoying places to go (in my opinion). if you searching for punk/hardcore/etc, you gotta ask where the "punk and indie" boxes are and just dig through them. i've found some great stuff, but heres where my hatred of this place comes in. a lot of their stuff isnt priced, and to get it priced, you bring it up to the counter where the guy goes through gemm.com and sees what everybody else is selling it for, and prices accordingly. if you've dealt with gemm.com before, you know some prices are outrageous, and the prices you pay will reflect that. its only until after the records have been priced that you really get to decide what you do and dont want.

hope this helps! if you make it over to tampa to shop hit me up and i'll let you know if anything special is going on that day (show or whatever).

-eric
