I agree, it is very sad, don't bother
dunno the last time you were there but they seem to have a decent selection. not nearly as picked over as the richmond location
You should have checked Steady Sounds instead.
I did foo. I bought a boatload of stuff, but didn't spend the time I wanted to because I got in an argument w/my ladyfriend. I hope I didn't make a bad impression on the homeslices in there.
Last time I looked it was all toto records. I will revisit.
been there. that's why the girlfriend bench is :necessary:
yeah i just realized it's around the corner from where i've been working part time in charlottesville, with tasty pizza the next strip over!
I grew up near Charlottesville and would be curious to see this - where did you see it?
Plan 9 was the first "cool" record store I ever went to - this was back in the eighties. Going there definitely set me down the road of buying music. There was a sort of mystique - with cool esoteric posters and records and hipper-than-thou clerks. It all seems embarrassingly "High Fidelity"-ish now but that stuff makes an impression on a fourteen year old.
Reading that it is not much for records now does make me a little sad/wistful, although I sort of had an intuition that this would be the case.
I'm a lover not a digger, I guess.
actually, yes -- I saw this at Sxsw last year randomly (just happened to fit an open slot in my schedule) and it was pretty entertaining. some definite characters work that lot, and it reminded me a lot of a few retail jobs I had where very bright people tended to stick around for years, hiding from the other corners of life. Also pleasantly surprised to find I knew one of the employees featured in the doc, a guy who moved to Bmore for art school shortly after it was filmed.
