I love going to the record shop. The real brick and mortar places. I know it might paint a picture of someone who snobbishly puts their nose up at others, yearning for the opportunity to tell them about how this band that nobody has ever really heard of changed music forever. But I promise, I am not that person. I just really love shopping for records.
I purposefully scour through the aisles looking for things that I haven't heard before. I look for stuff that is cheap and that seems just a little bit weird too. I try to find the covers where there is someone who is probably just a bit too cool for their own good (I'm looking at you Lou Reed!). I also love finding artists whose albums I haven't heard.
Even if I get it home and hate it, I love the adventure of looking. I find it so much more satisfying (sorry, this is going to start sounding a bit pretentious) to actually go and look at records, and to be surprised by their contents rather than just "getting music" from spotify or google play. I just don't get the same satisfaction through online services.
My record store finds that inspired this post: A Chris Rock promotional record from 1991 with one side bleeped for profanity A Clash bootleg, Live in Paris 1977 which my wife bought me as a late birthday present.
So tell me hubski what some of your favorite record store finds have been.
