Stick It In Your Ear and Heavy Heads Records are the ones i frequent. terrible punk & hardcore selection, though.

Stick it in your ear!

I believe Relics is having a record swap meet later this month as well.

Entertainmart.

Stick it in YOUR ear!

Stick it in your ear has a good selection but prices are all over the place. Do your research. Heavy Head seems a bit more reasonable on new stuff at least but their selection isn't as big.

Stick It for old stuff, Heavy Heads for new, Mike's Unique for a lottery ticket.

I try to avoid Stick It In Your Ear because they sell Nazi records and merch, specifically Burzum.

Stick It In Your Ear is overpriced and I can no longer support a store that sells Nazi records or other merchandise of any kind.

I genuinely miss City Music. Such great deals on records. And incredibly nice people.

Do they promote it? Or was it in amongst a collection they took in and is such an obscure niche band that whoever Google'd it to find the genre didn't see the controversy?

Because I'm betting it's the latter.

IIRC, Stick It In Your Ear makes lots of their own artist merch shirts. They also had various sizes available, so it isn't just a one-off shirt someone donated. If it was just a single record, I would give them the benefit of the doubt. They had at least two copies of Filosofem when I went there last.

>and is such an obscure band

Burzum is up there with Mayhem for the most popular black metal artists there is.

Stick it in MY ear?!

Niche is what I was going for anyway, not obscure.

So you're saying there were multiple, new Burzum shirts being sold? Idk how they can get away printing other band's logos on their shirts without licensing fees, which doesn't make sense for a hole in the wall record store.

The copyright on nearly all the merch Stick It sells is pretty iffy, there are also blatantly fake MF Doom tees being sold. Many other bands too, as well as popular horror movie franchises, all of which are printed on what appeared to be Gildan shirts. Seems to be mostly bootleg because they sell their own shop-branded merch on the same rack and it's the same kind of cheaply printed shirts.

I don't want to continue to support a business who sells Nazi black metal stuff, whether it's real merch or bootleg.

I was bummed when they went out of business.

Mike's is so weird. Sometimes I find nothing, other times I find what I consider gold. Like once I found the American Tail: Fievel Goes West soundtrack and I snatched it for $5. Another time I saw a busted wax, torn covered Folsom Prison Blues for like $40. It's a weird place.

If you want to, yes.

Danny Phillips sells records and he has the absolute best ever

> Idk how they can get away printing other band's logos on their shirts without licensing fees,

Bootlegging t-shirts is easy and quite prevalent.

I guess if they're literally printing their own or ordering them online and reselling.

>I guess if they're literally printing their own

Yes, that's how bootlegging works.

Hey, thanks.

I was more confused on the how it makes financial sense for a hole in the wall record store to bootleg shirts. Seems like they'd barely sell enough to cover labor, plus there's no room in that place.

>I was more confused on the how it makes financial sense for a hole in the wall record store to bootleg shirts.

It's cheap to bootleg shirts. You sell them for more than you paid to have them printed. It's pretty simple.

The store is small but it has had shirts for years so it's not like it's suddenly taking up space. I'm pretty sure they were booting shirts back when Wes owned it.

Whoa, selling things for more than you bought them more is how you make a profit? Who knew???

Point is, nobody goes there to buy a shirt. I just don't see how they sell enough to cover costs. Obviously they do, if they've been doing it that long.

I don't know why you're getting sassy. You said you didn't understand something and I tried explained it as simple as possible.

Nobody may go there just to buy a shirt but clearly some people are buying shirts there otherwise they wouldn't keep them around.

So I’m down for ear play, but I really like swap meet style record finds. Ever since the place off of Glenstone by the rail road tracks left I’m at a loss.

Can you elaborate?

I just want some good music

I do in my other comments in the thread, they sell Burzum records+merch
