team boo on record stores

[broadkat]

A) what's the best record store in town (based on such characteristics as price, selection, ambience, vinyl presence/selection, etc... you know the drill and i really need to know)?
 
 2) what do you mates of states fans (or otherwise interested parties) think of team boo?  are you going to team boo them off the stage?
 
 III) how's this for newbie questions?

Your lips are moving. But I can't hear what your sayin'.

quite frankly the record stores in the dc area bite...  there is no really good one stop shopping in terms of selection and price...  
 
  Record and Tape Traders around Baltimore may come the closest but their vinyl selection is limited
 
 DCCD may be the best, but it's a hassle to shop at unless you live near by.  
 
 If digging through hundreds of cds for that elusive bargin is your thing The CD Exchanges are good.  Selection depends on what promos are being dumped.
 
 CDepot has a vast selection of back catalog stuff at reasonable prices.  If you are looking for the latest indie release try elsewhere.
 
 Joes Record Paradise has good prices on used stuff and great older vinyl.   The new selection hit or miss...
 
 Best Buy unfortanely has the best first week prices on new releases...
 
 There are other used CDs shops in the area but they tend to have higher prices then I like to pay.

Mates of State remind me of that duo on Saturday Night Live who play the piano and sing at like High School Dances and other banquets.  Will Ferrell and i forget the chicks name.   Funny, but all to real in person.

 that skit cracks me up

I have luck finding stuff at selected Olssons and selected Borders.
 
 CD Cellar in Falls Church has a great selection of used stuff, but it can be kind of pricey for used ($8-$10).  They have a "slightly scratched" section where the CDs are cheaper ($3-$6) and a $1 section also.  I've never had a problem with any of the discs I've bought there.

woah, is CDCellar still around?  am i right that it's actually a cellar and i remember shopping there when i lived there in 8th grade? that's so money.

[broadkat]

okay, fine, so no one else likes mates of states.  but i courteously call you crazy.  i mean, can't you drop yer disaffected facade for a second to say you couldn't get into it by imagining that that was your life?  you wake up in the morning with the person you love and write music about it?  ah well, i guess romance is dead...  

[broadkat]

oh and to nip the possibility of annoying logicless argument right in the bud, that "disaffected facade" thing was tongue-in-cheek, loves.

[markie]

Broadkat, I have no idea what you are talking about. What is States of mates? If you used sentences it might improve your chances of a sensible reply.

God, I can't stand Mates Of States' recorded works. In fact, I have to turn the radio off when they come on because they drive me insane. I'd have to kill myself if I ever saw them live!
 
 Broadkat, if that's what you call romance, it's time to call it quits.

The Sound Garden is the best record store in Baltimore, MD. Great selection of... well, everything plus a robust vinyl section. Record And Tape Traders around Baltimore come a close second. Their prices aren't as competitive as Sound Garden's.   :cool:

Personally, I find that Soundgarden's new prices are much better but R+TT's used are better. Though SG tends to have a better used selection. In both cases, you really have to walk into the store at the right time if you're looking for more obscure works. In the end, they are both pretty good.
 
 Does anyone know if Soundgarden lost any stock when Thames St. flooded after Isabel?

Jaguar, I'm thinking no. Me and a friend were there a week after Isabel had hit and the place was running just as usual. No damage was visible on any of their stock or to the premises.
 
 Either that or they did an amazing job cleaning up.   :cool:
