Yep. Lou’s is the last of a dying breed. They are the only type I think will survive -super niche. BUT that is where I got the gift certificate from and I was still like, “Dude…I don’t want to go down there….”

Is Lou’s records still open? I remember perusing the bins/shelves in graduate school. Now I’m at Target….looking for sales on toddler clothes.

TG- If LP’s become the thing again it will become a ‘chosen’ thing. A choice of sound. Lord knows they are a pain to lug around so mp3′s win out in convenience but for a quality sound experience I think they are already making their case.
Judy-Nope. 5 solid hours. Maybe more. I did take bathroom breaks though…

I cannot believe you spent 5 hours in that store!!!! You must have taken a 2-hour nap in the bathroom, admit it!
And yes, I would totally prefer that Starbucks card too but it was a nice gesture from her.

Good read. I used to spend an absorbent amount of time flipping through the racks at record stores hoping to find just the right album. The industry has changed dramatically. I’m excited to see if LP’s become the thing again. I see promise.
