    I just moved to Indy and I can hip you to all the spots here. Also if you ever head out toward Terre Haute there's this spot called Headstone that looks like this alien porn shop. (trust me when you see it you'll know what's up) Once you walk inside you understand why; 'cause it's full of aging hippies. The diggin' there is pretty nice, 45s are all 25 cents and I got a lot of LPs from Tom Scott and Les McCan for about $2 each.

    Because they're Dead Heads, they don't really know jazz or soul, so the rock ish and a lot of their used CDs are OVER priced. But all in all a dope spot.

    Now as for Indy... Missing Link is the spot!

    i didn't find it to be all that marvelous. a few decent records that were way overpriced. i think i spent about $11 in that store. a lot of rap shit though.

    let me ad that they had just moved and i guess not everything was out. still, they let us go through the boxes....

    I heard some gems were turned up in the moving sale but Missing Link has a steady stream of diggers that are hitting it on the daily.

    from what i can tell, this might be true. spent some time in cincinatti and northern kentucky on the same trip. bought a lot of joints i didn't have but didn't dig up anything too awe inspiring. found the hawaii 5-0 break though. it would seem most cities in the mid-west have just been raped in general. a lot of dilapidated old crusty towns...

    I went to TH about 12 years ago. I figured they pressed them there, must be a lot. I hit that head shop. Records through the beaded curtain. About an inch of dust on the records, they were forgotten back there. They did a non-stop business on drug test kits while I was there. I guess they were the new thing. I guess people use them to see if they will pass their employeers test.

    All in all TH was a bust. I spent half a day digging through endless piles of worthless records at a junk store in a house near some rail road tracks.

    I also hit South Dakota on that trip thinking "no one has ever dug for records here". Of course SD quit selling records when 8 tracks came out. What records they did sell were Christian country and Lawrence Welk. Madison wasn't bad.

    Thanks for the recommendations and the digging stories. Im heading back to NYC tomorrow. I just hit this antique mall in Portland before posting and was told that there was one more shop called "this that" or something.

    I also saw a few places in the surrounding villages of Portland that look like they could have records but I didnt have time to stop because of work.

    Damn!
