It's time to visit your favorite local record store; a place where music fans meander aimlessly, spend countless hours flipping through used records, and discuss the minutia of favorite b-sides, best live albums, and anything else music-related. If you have any questions, you can always find Tara and Natalie behind the counter ready to dispense a recommendation or tell you about a recent discovery. Join Record Store Society biweekly on Sundays to see what’s new or just to hang around for some music talk.
