| - Stinkweeds, my love of you has lasted decades. You had me at "autographed copy of 10,000 Maniacs' In My Tribe" back in 1992. Regardless of the fact that nearly everyone in the store when I go is younger than that record, I still love you.
Santa missed one thing on my Christmas list - Foo Fighters' Sonic Highways on vinyl. I know I could order this online from Amazon for $21.36 including shipping. I looked. But, I think buying vinyl online lacks soul. Stinkweeds has soul.
Here's how shopping at Stinkweeds goes: Walk slowly through the records. See the name of an artist. Hold your breath. Lunge at the records. Flip furiously. Find Sonic Highways with the New York City cover. Gasp. Cheaper than Amazon. Gasp again. Embarrass husband by shouting across the small store.
Of course, sometimes the above scene ends differently where the artist tab is there and nothing by that artist. Then you hear a slow sad trombone noise in your head. But, it makes you want to come back every week just to see if, by any chance in heaven, there should one day be a record in that slot.
They have a great slection of rare albums, interesting bands to discover and always something playing that makes you have to ask the person at the counter who it is. Nice people, solid prices, great selection, even been vibe.
