Moving is always a chore. Good luck with that. Josey Records looks like the type of place I could lose an entire day to without talking to a single person. Boulevard Trash looks like the type of place I can lose a day to talking to the owner.
Thanks for wishing me luck on my move, Eric! And your comment is spot on. We ended up chatting a while with the owner of Boulevard Trash because we were the only shoppers at that time! Really dug all these stores. Hope you are having a better year than last year so far. ✌🏻🎶🎶
I love Everything But the Girl Thorn has such a beautiful voice, get whatever I see from them. There is nothing like going a new record store you have never been to. Next month I am going to Minneapolis-St Paul which is suppose to have some great stores.
That's awesome, Matt! Minneapolis is also on our list to check out someday as it's not a terrible drive from Omaha. I hope you report back as to which stores you were impressed with up there! Happy digging, my friend!
Nice to see you going through the Crass records. The choir I sing in was recently involved in a Crass release, doing a reworking/remix of G's Song:
A choir performing a remix of a Crass song? Too much! You have left me with a twisted vision of my mom's LDS choir singing a cover version of Bata Motel.
@@toddhill7483 commoners choir aren’t just any choir! Set up by a former member of Chumbawamba, we have a lot of fun and sing some great songs.
Most excellent. A far cry from the Mormon choirs I was exposed to as a child.
Hi Mark! Wow, now that's something I don't read every day. A choir doing a rendition of a Crass tune. And a choir set up by a former member of Chumbawamba. You really have my interest now. Very cool! Thanks for stopping by!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert we have a TH-cam channel under Commoners Choir!
Bill's Records was a famous record store that was in Dallas for decades. Josey Records bought his inventory when he passed away and the store closed.
Thanks for clearing this up for me, Brian! Truly is a mega-store now! Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert There are a few TH-cam videos about Bill's Records
Great video. Always an education and great recommendations!
So glad you enjoyed this one, Jason! ❤️🎶 I appreciate your comments!
I was visiting Dallas this past weekend and also stopped by Josey's. I've never seen so many music posters. The selection of 45s is amazing.
Hi Alex! I didn't even get to their 45s section, but then again, I'm not really a collector of 45s. They really have the biggest selection of everything in that store. Killer place!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I also stopped by Good Records and picked up a couple of albums that have eluded me. BTW, enjoy your vids.
The records in the background remind me a lot of my youth. The Sound, Echo and the Bunnymen, and The Rain Parade all have releases on this upcoming RSD. I also picked up Unarian Dances by Drab Majesty last week. Take care and lately, I've been listening to PIL-Metal Box. There's not a lot of hooks on these records but the Wobbly One saves the day.
Thanks, Mark! Very cool that you picked up Unarian Dances from Drab Majesty. I hope to get that one in the collection at some point. Metal Box, hell yeah. I still can't believe a viewer sent me one of those treasured boxes, and I'll indeed treasure it forever! What an album! Jah Rules!
The Go-Betweens are my favourite band. Can't wait to hear your take.
That video will be posted today! Go Betweens forever!
If you ever make it out to the Oregon Coast you should come visit our record store, we are kids of the 80’s so we will have stuff in your wheelhouse. Northwest Grooves!
Right on! I'd love to go to Oregon again. I've been to several stores in the Portland area like Little Axe, Landfill, Exiled, Tomorrow, and Jackpot. What city is your store located? High five!
We are in Newport, on the coast! Happy Plastic Hunting!
Hey Hanna, great video. I've found that making your own shelves from birch plywood is the most convenient. Measure the available spaces, then many suppliers will cut the sizes for next to nothing. Fix them with wood glue and corner brackets, and when you polish sand them they'll look so much better than Ikea crap, as well as being stronger. And it really doesn't take much work. All the best, Mike
Happy weekend to you, Mike! No doubt chris could put some shelves together for me. He’s already building a Murphy bed in the basement! However I will most likely be buying some type of shelving unit just because there are too many other projects to focus on right now. Always best to DIY if possible and time willing, I agree! 👍🏻
Flamin' Groovies!
Great book collection at that second store.
Yes! I was really impressed by those book titles and would have bought several! Boulevard Trash had the goods!
flash light! great lp! lots o stuff i have never heard of, i,ll be checkin out.
Thanks so much, Ron! Glad some of these LPs I showed were new to you! Happy sampling and happy Friday night!
Another great video Hanna.
So glad you enjoyed it, Michael. Thanks so much!
Glad you had a fun visit to Dallas. Josey Records is great. They do a really nice Record Store Day. Very organized and well-stocked.
I don't know too much about Tom Verlaine's solo stuff. I need to expand my horizons.
Downloaded Low's Transmission. I did not know about that. Thanks.
And just ordered Like Magic in The Streets. I hadn't seen that either. Definitely looking forward to your Go-Betweens video. They were a wonderful band and a great live act.
I am in Tulsa for the Elvis Costello show at Cain's (no Dallas date scheduled) so will have to check out Boulevard Trash. It looks great.
And most importantly you finally got Boodle Boodle Boodle by the Clean! I love that they kept the packaging a perfect replica and included the comic. Fingers crossed they do the follow-up Great Sounds Great. An equally good EP.
The single re-released is their debut Tally Ho! And I would 100% recommend it. I love buying 45s but even if it is not your thing the music is worth it.
I struggled with Radiohead, especially their 90s output, yes even the much-lauded OK Computer. It all does nothing for me.
if you imagine they started in 2000 with Kid A they are a great band. If you have any interest then play the track The National Anthem. Play it 2 or 3 times. If that gets you maybe you should persevere. Their 21st-century output makes them one of my favorites.
Thanks again for a great video and if you read all this thank you.
Hi Richard! Great to get a comment from you, as always! Oh man, RSD at Josey must be a dream. Always wanted to attend an RSD drop at one of the bigger stores where they sometimes give you a a sheet of paper and you can check off what you want and you can pick it up at the counter!
So glad you were able to download Low's Transmission, too!
I had not previously known about this Magic in the Streets book, either. I'm in the middle of it now. Fantastic thus far.
Let me know what you think of Boulevard Trash when you stop in Tulsa for the EC show! So jealous. In today's video I'm wearing an EC shirt!
I'll look into getting Tally Ho from the Clean because I dig them lots!
I suppose I will check out The National Anthem by Radiohead, but grudgingly! Take care, my friend!
That is my favourite Tom Verlaine solo record, "The Scientist Writes a Letter" is amazing. $5 is a steal. I'm currently stationed in Manila and a beat up copy of an Air Supply record will set you back $20, this is a tough watch seeing these mammoth stores
Hi Andrew! This is a fine Tom Verlaine record as your favorite! I've been slowing adding his records to my collection and love everything I've heard so far! Wow, prices sound brutal over in a Manila! Eeeeks! Hope you can get back to digging in stores with more reasonable prices soon! Cheers!
Hey hannah you should check out the cherry red box set optimism/reject 4 cds.youll love it
I'm "All Out Of Love" for that situation, dude. Trust me it's no better in NY or NYC now....all trendy nonsense and no good shops like 25 or more years ago.
Flashlight may be the true successor to Marquee Moon and Adventure ten years out. A CD double comp called the Miller's Tale contains rarities,b-sides,and live stuff from Verlaine's solo years and is more than worthwhile. Awwww man, When you showed Boodle Boodle Boodle by the Clean my coffee took the scenic route from my nose outwards! Actual Flying Nun pressing? My word! I know Flying Nun put out a Clean comp. called Compilation in the 90's containing everything up to Vehicle Lp but the 4 rec. Anthology on Merge is also a fine overview. I could go on forever about the Clean and I do! Looking forward to next video as always!
Darnit I’m gonna have to track down that Verlaine compilation!! A must.
Hey there, Lawrence! Hope this week treated you well! Miller's Tale might be very difficult to obtain. And here's the Clean reissues by Merge: www.mergerecords.com/artist/the_clean
I have a burned copy of their 2-CD anthology but I've been meaning to get the vinyl version. So darn good! I commend your music taste, my friend!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I always confused the Clean with The Neats for some bizarre reason! I think REM had the latter open for them in the mid 80s.
Easy to do! Both great!
Bill was a Dallas fixture for decades. His store was amazing and confusing and inspiring and crammed with decades of collector items. He passed and Josey acquired his store. If you get back to the DFW area check out Recycled Books in Denton on the square. Denton has one of the largest music schools in the nation. Not as big as Josey but lots more jazz as that's what UNT is known for. But also for some alternative garage band birthing's.
Greetings, Ron! Not sure if we'll get back to the Dallas area again anytime soon but I appreciate the suggestion to check out Recycled Books. I kind of wish I had seen Bill's store before Josey bought his stock! Cheers, my friend!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Bill was a piece of work. He collected not only records, but esoteric posters, handbills, anything related to music really. The place was notorious for being organized in a way that only Bill could decipher. You either just wandered and discovered, or you had to ask Bill to find something for you...and he always knew exactly where stuff was. He had a small stage in the back where bands could play though I never caught a performance there. I did shoot an interview with Bill for Icelandic Television, of all things, who was doing a special on The Dixie Chicks. He had some early connection to them. Though all the interview was in English, all their commentary was in Icelandic with an occasional "Dixie Chicks" inserted. Kind of like listening to the Chef on Sesame street talk about music. If you find yourself getting interested in jazz, percussion, gamelon, chamber music, etc. I suggest you look up University of North Texas on youtube. The One O'clock Lab Band will absolutely blow you away. When I was working at the University way back when, Bare Naked Ladies played the local bars along with a lot of other punk/indie bands. Since the College of Music is so huge, rare records and cds are constantly surfacing in strange places. If you are really really adventurous check out Brave Combo, local denton cult dance band, who tout themselves as a Nuclear Polka Band....they really ARE huge in Japan-go figure? Thanks for your channel and all the work that it takes to keep it going. Hope your new digs work out well.
Great video, I live in Tulsa and I spend a big deal of time at studio,the owner mike is such a nice guy , and also the people at joseys, I would have loved to meet you
Thanks, Jorge! We'd love to go to Tulsa again. OKC was pretty awesome for record stores, too, so we'd love to come back for a visit!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert yeah guestroom records in okc is amazing too, but around here you need to try the vintage stock chain, you will find amazing deals when they run there specials, anyways i enjoy watching your videos thanks for replying
I love when people flick through albums and shows. kinda ohh, ahh moments. I'm a fan of the weird and. Obscure.
Glad you liked the footage, Shayne! Wish I could have obtained more but it can be tricky sometimes depending on crowd level! Fans of the weird and obscure unite! 👊🏻
Cherry red 4 cd box set optimism/reject.the best indie diy ive ever heard
Oh man, I just looked up Optimism/Reject! What a set! Added to my want list! Thanks for letting me know!
I am definitely going to have to hit up Josey's Records the next time I am up in Dallas. That would make it worth the trip alone. Thanks for all of the footage in the store. I am a fan of Low too and I have never seen those two EPs before and I would be curious to hear them cover Joy Division. Drab Majesty and Wild Nothing...I swear I have encountered both before on a digital dig but I don't remember either. I will have to go back and give them another listen. The Wild Nothing was just recently re-released a year or two ago and the distinctive cover made me remember it again. I am with you when film in crowded places. I hate doing that and I have always wanted to respect people because I hate having myself filmed. So cool to see you pick up the Clean's reissue. I am glad they did a faithful reproduction of Boodle Boodle Boodle. Nice to see Lana Del Ray. Ultraviolence is my favorite album of hers and I bought it when it came out. I didn't realize that her vinyl was hard to come by. I am totally with you on Cherry Red's compilations. It just doesn't get any better. Very nice giftage from your friend.
Hey Paul! Yes, I would say if you only had time for one store to visit in Dallas, go to Josey, hands down! You may dig both Drab Majesty and Wild Nothing. I haven't heard any of the newer Wild Nothing offerings, so I don't know how much their sound has changed.
Yes, honestly I hate filming in public. I know I wouldn't appreciate being filmed in a store if someone I didn't know randomly was doing that! I couldn't get footage of Studio Records because the layout of their store and how many people were in there...it just didn't work out. I'm not really sure why LDR's vinyl is so hard to come across. Some titles are much easier to find than others but I noticed even her latest, Blue Banisters, was hard to get for a while and I don't know if it still is or not. Cherry Red rules! Hope you had a great weekend and thank you for the thoughtful comments, as always. :-)
I have an opportunity to hit Dallas/ Fort Worth area in October. Josey Records is now on my list.
Awesome, Patrick! Dallas is fun for digging! You’ll have a blast!
You always inspire me to go through my (sadly underplayed....for 30 years anyway) albums. Thank you. Playing Flash Light right now. I wasn't sure I'd find it but knew I at least once owned it....and thankfully still do. Probably first listen in 25 years.
That’s awesome, Rick! Glad my showings gave you the push to pull some of these albums back out! Flash light deserves repeated listens indeed! Thanks so much for hanging out!🎶😀
Hi Hanna. Did a meet up in Dallas with Chris /First Pressing Goodness and Steve Carlson about 2 years ago. We did check out Josey’s. The layout looks different from what I remember. Had a great time. Remember finding a Foo Fighter’s boxset and Repo Man soundtrack. Enjoyed! Andre’
Happy Saturday, Andre! Very cool to hear about your VC meetup with Chris and Steve! Foo Fighters box set…nice score! Yeah, apparently Josey expanded even further since you visited. Incredible place! Always great to hear from you and hope all is well! ✌🏻🎶
I always get a chuckle from your Beetlejuice doll prop Tom Verlaines flashlight is a great album love a town called walker and bomb my favorite Tom Verlaine albums are words from the front true story and the title track are among some his best guitar playing and I like open as well never heard of the clean I should give them a listen
Hi George! Glad you like seeing Beetlejuice sitting in on my videos, hehe! I still need to pick up Words from the front from Verlaine. I usually pick up his records when I see them and if they are not overpriced, like many records are nowadays! I hope you were able to give the Clean a sample. Quite the influential indie band from the early 80s! Lots of jangly goodness! Cheers, my friend!
Good Luck with the moving procedere 🍀Wild Nothing - that's a cool one, in deed. Greetings from ... no, not Germany right now, ... from Atlanta. Take care.
I appreciate the well wishes on my move, Frank! Ah, Atlanta! Hope you are able to check out the music stores there! Be well! ✌🏻🎶🎶
Been to Amoeba in Berkeley. I love that place . And I was in Texas last month . I have to go to Joseys in Dallas next trip .
Hey John! Amoeba's stores are so amazing to visit! I'd love to go again. Hope you make it to Josey next time you're in Dallas!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I will !
oh man, during the tour part of the video you thumbed right past the Grand Funk Railroad Red Album. So good. I've only recently discovered how great their early stuff is.
Yea I noticed that too. Saw Grand Funk Railroad in ‘70, ‘73 & ‘75. The Red Album is the most lethal primal garage rock record ever made. In Need and Inside looking Out are standout tracks.
A definitive 1969 recorded rock record!!!
Thanks, Gino! Glad you liked the flipping segment of Josey! Fab store! Cheers! I appreciate the comment!
I was listenin' to the Grand Funk album in my livin' room when my mother came in. She looked at the album cover 'n was totally shocked that these white boys were playin' this soul music!
Wow! That Josey story was brilliant! I live in the Bay Area, so Amoeba is a usual stop. That looks like MUST VISIT. and... as promised: SNEETCHES!!! Love them.
I forgot if I asked you this before or not... (I haven't had a chance to go through all your vids, so I'm guessing you probably know them... but just in case,) the following bands are BRILLIANT: STRAITJACKET FITS (NZ band), ABLE TASMANS (NZ band), CLOSE LOBSTERS (Scottish band... "Foxheads Stalk This Land" is brilliant), THE WANNADIES (Swedish Power Pop... their early stuff is heavenly),... Great stuff... and your knowledge base is FANTASTIC! Cheers!
SEE! I wouldn't be surprised if you know ALL the bands... I finally watched your "Best of 2020" video and (of course) you list Close Lobsters (and THE CHILLS!!!)... so now I'm assuming you know everything I could possibly suggest... ha ha. Cheers!
Hi John! thanks so much for catching this video. Also, thank you for your patience as I slowly respond to comments after my move! Yes, definitely check out my jangle pop series (3 parts) where I mention Close Lobsters and more! Close Lobsters would definitely be a top 50 band for me! Cheers! Thanks for watching my 2020 video, too!
Hello Hanna; Nice hoodie splash print design. Josey records in Dallas & Tulsa look well stocked. Some very goods finds with the Tom Verlaine, Fleshtones, The Clean, The Sneetches, & Ultra Violence. Great store name Boulevard Trash. Good to find needed records. Like the reflective Joy division plate sticker. Always good to receive VCLT, cd, dvd sets & books. Moving causes stress & anxiety, hang in they're take one day at a time. Take care, Tina & Pat!~
Hola, Tina and Pat! Sounds like you approved of the finds from my trip. Really enjoyed Josey in Dallas the most. What a selection and so much packed in that store! Definitely good advice to take the move preparations one day at a time. I now have to move a little faster because I got a set move-out date. Enjoy your weekend!👍🏻🎶😀😀
Hello again. I just commented on your Dallas Show video. Might as well comment on this one too... My friends and I live in Fort Smith (Arkansas) where we have..... ZERO record stores... so we go to stores in Tulsa and the Ft. Worth/Dallas area. Studio Records is a great store. That's where we go for Black Friday RSD since it is much closer to home. Mike, the owner, used to be in the music industry so he knows his stuff. As for Texas, we have been going to Josey's since the day they opened!! They have tripled in size since then. Those guys are great. If/When you get back to the Dallas area may I suggest checking out Doc's Records in downtown Ft. Worth. I think you will love it! They have a great music selection. Their prices are very good too. just letting you know.. Ken
Hi again, Kenneth! Yeah, we thought Studio Records was decent. Just didn't find anything to pick up on that particular day. Like how they had the store organized, though. I believe another vinyl community member also mentioned Doc's to me on Instagram. Hopefully if there is a next time we can stop in that store as well! I appreciate the recommendation! Enjoy the rest of your evening!
Hey Hanna, Mack from I Buy Old Records goes to Josey Records quite a bit. Great stores and cool finds as always. Everything I use to store CD's was purchased years and years ago, so I have no idea what is available these days. I wish you good luck on the move and take care...
Hey there, Tim! How are ya? I used to have a nice CD cabinet with a sliding door but I ended up leaving it with an ex before I moved to Phoenix years ago. It was hard to move with because it was pretty fragile. It was a nice cabinet though. I appreciate the well wishes on my move. I should be all in by May 1st! Hope all is well in NY!
Those Cherry Red box sets are great, I've never noticed bad sound quality, but I'm not an audiophile.
Amazing haul you picked up at Josey Records, Hanna! Good luck with the moving as well!
I appreciate the well wishes on my move, Tony! ✌🏻🎶🎶 Hope all is well up north!
Hi Hanna! Of course you have to visit record stores when you travel. SO much fun isn't it? Josey Records looks like a great place I'd love to visit. Low is pretty decent, I really like their '90s stuff but have to be in a certain mood to listen. Boulevard Trash in Tulsa looks like a good place I'd visit. Wow, can't believe you found the Sneetches on vinyl. I found a Sneetches t-shirt in a thrift a couple of years ago but it was stained pretty badly. Love the Joy Division sticker. I'm not much of a Radiohead fan either, lol. The books look really interesting! Nice VCLT from Jess! For storage I've been using Better Home and Gardens shelves (the thicker ones) and they hold up well. CD storage for me is just regular shelves, but the CDs are overflowing a bit. ~ Nicola
Hi Nicola! Happy Friday! Thanks for catching up on this one! I really love Low's 90s output the best, too. Wow, pretty obscure and rare to have seen a Sneetches shirt at a thrift store! Too bad it was stained! Yeah, they're a band I don't come across in the wild often, that's for sure! Walmart sells the Better Homes & Gardens shelves, right? I think I have seen them. We have the fun of putting together a bunch of storage shelves this weekend! Hope you've had some luck thrifting lately!
Hi Hannah. I would get lost in Josey Records. I would have to pack a lunch. Wonderful video and frustrating as well. You flipped by a record that I've been hunting for by The Wailers (sixties garage band). I'm friends with their former guitarist, Neil Andersson, and even he doesn't own a copy.
Nice cameo from Betelgeuse.
Hey Robert. You definitely need to set aside I'd say 2 hours bare minimum for Josey. I think we were only there an hour or so but didn't get to comb through everything. It was so fun digging there. Interesting you spotted that Wailers. I guess I didn't even notice it and I'm unfamiliar. I bet you could call them and see if they still had it. I'm sure they'd be willing to ship it! :-)
Great video Hanna! Wow! Josie records in Dallas really makes me want to take a road trip. It's just a matter of money, gas, and time right? Boulevard Trash is a great name for a record store. Have not thought about that Flestones album for awhile. Wore out the cassette when it came out. Great party record. This house is empty was my favorite track. The Demonstration is fantastic. Check out their last album, Modern Mirror. Your temporary video backgrounds will never be dull as long as you're sitting center stage. Speaking of which, that Pretenders debut behind you, side one is one of the all time great album sides. And considering Brass in Pocket and Mystery Achievement are on side two, you just can't go wrong with that album. As always, thanks for providing other bands to check out. (Ie: The Screetches)
*sneetches.
*Josey. Sheesh!
Hey Todd. Thanks for being here again! You are one of my loyal viewers, and I appreciate you so much! Glad you liked this house is empty from that fleshtones record as well! what a fantastic tune. I will definitely be making my way to modern mirror from drab Majesty. And I totally agree with your statement about the pretenders debut. Damn near perfect album! I was ecstatic to see Chrissie live a few years ago! Someone was a dick though and yelled if she was a man or woman. Totally disrespectful. See you next time! Hope you dig the Sneetches!
Hi, your video was suggested by TH-cam. Glad I checked it out, and now I'm a subscriber. I live in Houston, but I often visit Dallas as I have family there. I have the same opinion on prices at Forever Young. Bill's Records was in Dallas back in the 80's (maybe earlier), and it was a huge store. However, nothing was priced. So you would take items up to the front counter and typically get hit with sticker shock. Some people would take the approach of dressing down, but that didn't always work either. Although Bill's had some cool stuff in the store, I got the feeling that he didn't want to let things go. I quit going because it was so frustrating. But the store lasted at least thirty years.
Hey there, Erik! So glad you stumbled upon my video/channel. I'm thrilled! Appreciate the sub, too! Another Houston vinyl community member is BarakaPDub. He puts out amazing videos! Interesting commentary/recap of Bill's and how his store was! From what you described it reminds me of a store called Drastic Plastic in Tacoma (not to be confused with the Omaha record label/store). He had some great stuff but a lot of his stuff was not priced. So, when I'd find something he'd then get his laptop out and look it up and price it for me. I never cared for the prices he arrived at, though. So, most of the originally unpriced ones I'd just hand back to him. That being said, the longevity of Bill's is pretty amazing...30 years! Wow! I appreciate you stopping by! Hope to see you here again!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Thanks for the BarakaPDub recommendation. I will check him out!
Another great video. I was surprised you had time to do one during your move, but I love the clips of the record stores you visited and then seeing the great finds. I love the band Low and have downloaded their box set, but wish there were some of their albums on vinyl. I also have The Clean album you showed in a digital file. You find all the great stuff on vinyl, and the fact that I enjoy a lot of the same things that I do know a bit about on your videos makes me expand my want list when I see you show something I don't have or know very little about. I love compilations, and those three you have on CD look very interesting, I do know of a lot of the bands listed on those comps. Good luck in your move and keep the vinyl spinning.
Thanks so very much, TCat! Honestly, I'm surprised I'm having time to do additional videos, too but I'm trying to be better about putting out regular content. It leaves me with very little time, but so fun to do as well! Here's to hoping for vinyl reissues in the future. That would make my year! Definitely check out these Cherry Red compilation box sets. Well worth it and packed full of music I had never previously heard! Brilliant stuff! Hope you had a fabulous weekend! More videos to come! Cheers!
Thanks for another interesting video! In your Oklahoma video you scanned the racks and one band in their was Asta Kask from Sweden. I used to like them a lot and they released some great records in the early 1980s. You should give them a listen. Maybe you know already but if you don't the drummer of Sneetches was Daniel Swan who was from Bristol England and in 1977-1978 was in a band called Cortinas who release two great Punk singles in 1977 and a nice PowerPop album in 1978 that are worth checking out.
Wow, you are really knowledgeable. Several tidbits you shared here that I did not know and that's one big reason I love putting out videos. I often learn more from my viewers than they learn from me! I will certainly check out Asta Kask as well as the Cortinas! Thanks so much for sharing that info. Hope you had a wonderful weekend! See you next time!
Enjoyed the video. Love the tours through the stores. Hope your move goes smoothly. Always look forward to your videos. Cheers
Thanks so much. I probably should do more of these record store tours. Maybe I'll cover the stores here in Omaha next. Why not, right?! Hope all is well! :-)
Every time I go to Dallas I drop by Josey Records. I have spent a lot of money there. It was expanded, they added a lot more books but you can spend a day in there but I just don’t have the patience for it
Hey Steve! Great to hear from you. I know I have been MIA from your channel for quite a while. Glad you stop in at Josey whenever you're in Dallas. It was a bit overwhelming but I like how they have it organized and laid out. Hope all is well, along with Kat! Need to check out the rebuild of your collection! Cheers!
Hannah: Sorry for the essay! LOL, but.....
I tried finding the Tom Verlaine compilation the gent mentions below, and couldn't thus far, at least in NY. I put in a call to one shop I know in the West Village and he may
have it (he called me back, he used to have it, it sold, and no more are left. Of course) I meant to explain that for some reason, NYC and LI which used to boast some really sick record stores (besides the megas like Tower and Virgin), just doesn't anymore. What you have in Brooklyn and most of Manhattan now (downtown there's nothing uptown) are stores capitalizing on the vinyl trends and charging outrageous prices for it, in most cases. And nobody wants CDs so you are hard-pressed to find things like the Tom Verlaine compilation, or ANYTHING obscure, such as Birdsongs of the Mesozoic which I just read put out their entire collection remastered on CD and vinyl recently, but you cannot find it in shops here, since there are hardly any shops that would even
stock such a thing. Even in NYC this is now true, a very sad situation indeed. My library system doesn't even have more than 2 Tom Verlain CDs in the entire LI area!! Oof.
Amazon wants a whopping $57 for the Verlaine CD, new or used, which is a bit absurd. I refuse
to pay that price for it. Anyway Hanna, this situation in NY is intolerable and untenable. Normally if I buy such things nowadays I just go on eBay or Amazon and get it used,
if possible, or new. Even if I trekked today into Williamsburg or Bushwick Brooklyn and hit up the few indie record stores left extant, I doubt they would have that in stock, even on
vinyl. And even if they did, the price would be quite high. And, I haven't been into NYC for five years almost, because A. Covid B. violence and insanity going on in NYC and C.
it's expensive and time-consuming to do so. I have a car, so that's not the problem. I don't trek up to New England NJ or RI much anymore because it is also expensive
and time-consuming. I don't like wild goose chases, either, though I do normally love road trips and seeking out new stores, etc.
Anyway, my main point is that you guys have it good in the heartland and even Texas boasts some great stores, culture, etc., and of course Cali. and Washington and Oregon
do as well. I find it horrifying and pathetic that NY and the East Coast are beat out for record stores and bookstores now by the rest of the USA. (or most of it) You can still
even go down south to Athens GA, Winston Salem, and other areas VA etc. and find good shops. Atlanta too. But NY? Don't even bother. This is the precise opposite
of the situation in the 70s-mid or late 1990s. I mean, the states I mean did have excellent shops but NY was a mecca and now it's a decimated wasteland. I honestly feel
like weeping over it, but what to do? I love listening to music online too, as much as the next guy, but there's no sub. for buying music and vinyl and owning it and playing
it on a good system or your portable rig.
Hey Scott! Good morning! I’ll be checking on eBay and Discogs for that Verlaine comp. I don’t think I ever buy stuff on Amazon from third party sellers on there because they in particular are severely inflated compared to other sites.
Sorry to hear that the NY area is such a busy now. I was thinking it might be the opposite and maybe there would even be stores for specific genres because of the high population there. I’m probably wrong! What about the record shows there, though? Surely epic? I’m sure the stores may be a bit picked over due to the high demand though…especially the new arrival used bins.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: so far in my travels, my favorite two states for record digging are Washington and Oregon! Man, some of my best finds!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert It was like that 20 years ago or more. Tons of book and record stores have shuttered. The virus killed any record fairs until recently up here. LI has them again, I may attend the next one coming up. WFMU is massive, but no word on if they’re holding their fair this year again. Which is held now in Bklyn rather than Manhattan which was at Metro Auction Center on 14th St., a fantastic facility. I managed to meet Lenny Kaye at the 2004 or so WFMU fair!! He was shopping with the punters.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert As much as some disparaged Tower Records when it first opened in NYC years ago (and later LI), I miss taking the train into the city hiking down to Tower, and knowing I'll see stacks of the records I was looking for: I went in there in 1987 with my GF and we bought Elvis Costello Out Of Our Idiot EP they had like 5000 copies of it. Or later in 1990 when Vision Thing came out the Sisters of Mercy CD...they only had 5000 at the front register area right when you walked in. I guess we'll never witness the like again. Plus I could then walk upstairs and find the most obscure classical or jazz, folk, box sets, books, cassettes, whatever. you want Buzzocks? They had every CD in print down there on the main floor. And then I would
hit up the West Village stores or East Village for more obscure things, or bootlegs, etc. Oh my lord.
Some good purchases there as always, dear! Nice to see those shops you visited too. That Josey's store in Dallas is impressively immense! And there was me thinking the days of huge (music) shops like that were over. As for those Cherry Red compilations: I happened across a still-sealed copy of that Losing Touch With My Mind for a mere 50p (approx 65c) in a charity shop here in Wales! The biggest bargain I've ever had on any trip to a charity shop!
Thank you for your kind words! Josey’s is now in my top 3 record stores I’ve been to! It was overwhelming in the best way! And you really struck gold by finding a sealed copy of Losing Touch at a charity shop! Wow, wow, wow!⭐️👌🏻🙌🏻😀
Wow, that music store in Dallas was almost as big as mrhoffame's music room.
I’m always in awe at Brandon’s music rooms! Could probably spend the same amount of time browsing both!
You guys go on some interesting trips via which I get to live vicariously. It is interesting to be shown artists of which I have no clue. CD storage is a problem, I did have enough drawers etc to finally put mine away, the problem is I'm going to have to take them all out and and put them back in some kind of logical order. I spent the better part of an hour last night searching for my copy of Buddy Guy's " Damn right I've got the blues ". I figured he'd be beside Stevie Ray Vaughan, but I couldn't find Stevie either.
Greetings, John. Haha, now that my vinyl is organized as far as alphabetically how I want them, they are still not yet on my shelves. Soon, soon. By May 1st, everything should be in its proper place! Yeah, CD storage being a problem - I definitely hear that. I haven't had proper CD storage in years. My CDs aren't even fully organized at this point. So, that is another project for down the road. Sounds like you have some rearranging to do - bummer you couldn't find those top blues CDs! Hope you were able to locate them since you sent me this comment! Enjoy your week!
Hi Hanna. That Josey Record Store is huge. There is a Josey Records in KC but it is not one I frequent. I think that I have only been there once and it was a couple of years ago. I guess I need to check them out again. I just started exploring The Fleshtones. I got their RSD release from last year and just picked up a signed copy of their album Fleshtones Vs. Reality. I will definitely have to check out The Sneeches. Looks like you had a great trip.
Thanks so much, Randy. Hope you had an enjoyable weekend! Ah, apparently the Josey in KC didn't leave an impression on you. I think we may check it out whenever we make a trip down there! The Sneetches are well worth checking out and I hope you like what you hear by them! Glad you're getting into the Fleshtones, too! Rock on!
Sorry I keep dropping recs in random vids! Lots of groups you mention make me think of others, plus I've checked out a lot of groups I haven't heard yet thanks to your recs. Have you heard Shelleyan Orphan? If not, it's very ornate melancholy pop. Lots of woodwinds, strings, and acoustic guitar with lovely vocal harmonies. Their first album "Helleborine" is a stunner. I read that after "Helleborine" they adopted a more mainstream sound with a drum kit and guitars, and that the songwriting is way more modern and conventional. Maybe if I find other albums cheap I'll pick them up.
Yes, Josey did expand (where all the Bill's Records stuff is). There was a store next door that they expanded into when it went out of business.
As someone mentioned in a earlier post Bill's was a hallowed record store in Dallas for decades until he passed away a few years ago & Josey bought his stock.
Also there is a Josey Records in Kansas City.
Hey Frank! No doubt we’ll be checking out the KC Josey in the future. And thanks for providing more info on Bill and his prior store. That merge is fantastic! Take care and keep on spinning the tunes!
The Fleshtones was another band that I was introduced through 80's soundtracks, particularly Bachelor Party and Party Animal. Their song "Roman Gods" plays in Party Animal like 5 times or something but it's really catchy so that's cool.
I love Lana and NFR is my fave album of hers, some great piano ballads on that.
I would definitely be down with a Go-Betweens video, love them! Cheers!
The BACHELOR PARTY soundtrack is a classic!
I will second a Go Between video!😊
Thanks so much for the vote for Norman Effing Rockwell from Lana. I'll sample it!
Okay, very cool that you'd love to see me feature Go-Betweens. I believe I talked about them in a jangle pop video before, but I'm working on an Australian bands appreciation video of sorts! Cheers! Thanks for being so gracious with your comments! I appreciate it!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Cool, I am jumping around to different videos out of order so I don't think I've seen that one yet. :)
Cool Drab Majesty!
Re shelves, how about making your own? Custom to fit wherever YOU want. CDs are quite a bit lighter than records, so a bit more forgiving re construction quality. I am thinking about making "pull-out spice cabinets" in a closet in my listening room for my CDs. Maybe even bottom for records, upper portion double sided for CDs.
Hi Daniel. Nah, don't have time to make my own shelves and I'm not handy like that. Chris could make them but he's already building a Murphy bed at the moment! I ordered 2 more IKEA shelves for records and a spinning media tower for my CDs. Hope all is well!
Hello Hanna ,you've got really amazing stores in the u.s, i saw a book in one of the store called "punk women"-i know a punk lady called Hanna ;) wink lol , but i still collect cd-i don't have room for a turntable , i love your collection behind you:the pretenders amazing first album : Tattooed Love Boys my favorite , the new york dolls :bad girl , love it, the psychedelic furs great and r.e.m amazing compilation (still not remastered in cd -i hope soon) .for a couple of weeks i buy two compilations albums from the chrome cranks:Diabolical Boogie and The Murder of Time -love that band and the sound of the songs -very punky style -hope for the best for your moving out -stay save -i wish you the best with Chris -see you Hanna ;)
I have to wonder if Exene Cervenka of X is featured in that book.
@@toddhill7483 i don't know Todd , i'am from belgium i saw the book in Hanna's video lol
Hey Patrick! Thanks so very much! I need to check the post office in the next few days! Haven’t stopped there in a while! Glad you like the albums I had on display behind me! Some favorites for sure and they were easily accessible from the boxes! I’ll have to check out the bands you mentioned that you bought comps of! 👍🏻🎶🎶😁 Cheers!
I'll have to check out that Tim Blanchard book. Would love to re-acquire the Blue Nile records, which i unfortunately sold many years ago!
Hey Jonny! I'd love to come across some Blue Nile myself. Need to get some of their stuff in my collection! Hope you are able to snag this Tim Blanchard book. So cool! Thanks for watching!
🙋♂️ Hanna 🌞 - I remember Tom Verlaine coming into The Moby Disc I managed & buying the double 💿 compilation of Miller's Tale which he had no idea Virgin had compiled , much less released ! - He was in LA to meet with Sony bigwigs about the Jeff Buckley record he was working on that eventually came out posthumously. Perhaps Cherry Red will be able to license & release a definitive T Verlaine compilation - he's been on so many different labels. Hope you saw Miranda while in Tulsa ! ✌ 🇺🇦
Moby Disc in Socal was my go to place for music in the early 80s. Great store with tons of imports.
Good evening, David! I keep seeing people mention this Miller's Tale comp. Seems like it may be difficult to obtain now but I haven't properly done my research yet. That would be rad if Cherry Red did a Verlaine comp of sorts. Yeah, I'd buy it! :-) Enjoy the weekend! I've got some Echo & the Bunnymen blasting right now! Cheers!
Hanna, love your impromptu backdrop. I just bought Dead Letter Office on CD a few days ago. Those road trip stores look really good, nice finds. "A Town Called Walker" actually got some airplay as a single on "modern rock" stations in the Stone Age. Is it me, or does Lloyd Cole kind of sound like Verlaine with less vibrato? Honestly, those Cherry Red comps are ravaging my savings! Have you seen the Shoegaze genre guide from "the makers of Uncut"? I ordered it online and got it late last year. I've yet to really dive in but it looks pretty cool. 122 pages, heavy stock, no ads, pretty slick and colorful, the usual phase 1 suspects but also current discoveries. I think it was $30 w shipping from the U.K. Not cheap for a mag, but why not me?!
Hey Peter! Thanks for the props on my very impromptu backdrop! Do you prefer Cole or Verlaine when it comes to their solo career? I really love Alchemy from Cole because of its power pop leanings! I have a shoegaze magazine guide. I’m trying to recall if it was Uncut who put it out. It may have been Magnet? I’ll look that up! $30 is pricey for a mag! Glad you’re digging the Cherry Red offerings, too! Brilliant and thanks for being here as always!
I'm with Cole solo, and probably everything else other than the Marquee Moon LP. Yes, I think Magnet did one a while ago. Louder Than War did one a few years back, too...I think. Check Wayfair for CD storage/display. They may not have anything as large as the Billy, but they may still offer pieces specifically for CDs. Have a happy relocation! (Is that an oxymoron?)
Thanks for the recommendation to check Wayfair. Never even thought to check their site. Heading over there next! Very cool you prefer Cole solo!
Josey Records in Dallas is probably one of the best record stores I’ve been to. Easily in my Top 5, but maybe Top 2.
Hi Chris! So happy to see you here! Josey is definitely in my top 3 record stores. I mean, wow. Everything was organized so well, too, and that is important to me! Enjoy your Friday night and see you on IG!
3:35 The Wailers. Out of Our Tree is good. The melody of Lana Del Rey's Born to Die seems to have my kind of hook.....Oh my heart breaks every step that I take.... Record shopping or what the point? 99% of my thinking too. Thanks for sharing the trip!
Glad we have the same mindset! Record shopping while out of town is a must! 😉✌🏻🎶🎶
👍🔥. Hi Hanna: Killer stores! Fabulous snag on The Fleshtones! Super Rock! I must start to put together a Tom Verlaine collection. My bad for not doing so earlier. I am going to give Drab Majesty a whirl. BTW, based on your last video, I ordered the two-CD set for The Waterboys This Is The Sea. It is a powerful and entrancing album. Nice gifts from your pal - I love the books. I have to set a "budget" before I watch your videos. 😎. Rock Always! - Heather
Thanks, Heather! Happy weekend to you! Yes, I urge you to get started on your T Verlaine collection! Hope you like what you hear from Drab Majesty! One of the better synth/goth groups of the last decade imo! That’s so cool you snagged that Waterboys 2-CD set! What a glorious album! Great to hear from you as always! 😀✌🏻🎶🎶🎶
A very productive trip. You got some great deals.
We have so much stuff to get rid of. Moving from a big house with a furnished basement and a 2 car garage that is so full of crap I can't park a car inside. We will probably get a 2 bedroom apartment. The hardest part is getting rid of 2 dogs. I'm keeping my little poopsie though.
Great video. I enjoyed it.
Thanks so much, Bill. Always happy to read your comments. Awww, I'm so saddened to hear you have to let go of two of your dogs. That's incredibly sad. I hope you are able to find loving homes for them. And yes, moving is such a pain. I send positive vibes your way!
i would keep cd's in there original cases with the covers and song titles ! not in a folder ! i know the cases are fragile and do crack and fall apart ! double disc cases are harder to replace but you still may find em online ! nice score !
Hey Scotty! I’m definitely all for keeping CDs in their proper jewel cases. I don’t like the folder idea. I only have folders for the CD-Rs I burned many years ago. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻🎶
@@TheOmahaIntrovert same here ! all my burned cd's are in folders and it seems they still get damaged from taking in n out !
Hi H. NY Dolls in the background! I didn’t appreciate that album till recently I’ve had an og for years and never played it. I’m gonna check out Josies soon . Looks like decent prices too. I’ve been immersed in all LDR albums and appreciate born to die more than I did. My recommendation is working your way up the catalog Honeymoon is next. then lust for life, that’s a real standout. I could do without the couple rap collaborations on lfl but still excellent tracs. She gets better every album.Cool arch shirt too. I never went up in it😡 ✌️❤️
Thanks, J! I’m glad your NY Dolls record is getting some play time now! 🎸👌🏻 Definitely visit Josey when you can! You’ll be in awe!
Thanks to you, I’m checking out more from LDR!🎶❤️👍🏻
Great video and cool records and books. I remember Peter Zaremba of the Fleshtones as the host of MTV's "The Cutting Edge" show from many years ago. That Verlaine album is fantastic. I bought it on Cassette many years ago. Wish I had gotten the LP. I just got the book "There Was A Light" about Chris Bell and it is an amazing book. Also got a Chris Bell CD called " Looking Forward, The Roots of Bug Star" fantastic as well. Power Pop Rules!
Hey Al! Sounds like you’re on Chris Bell exploratory mode right now, and that’s awesome! Amazing contributor to power pop and he is missed! I didn’t know Zaremba hosted that MTV show back then! Cool!
Keep on spinning that power pop! Thank you for stopping by! Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I am a big Alex Chilton fan too but Chris Bell was a pop genius and a tortured soul it seems. Great music though.
If I am not wrong, I have visited Bill's record store in Dallas back in 1997. Found there Green On Red - Killer Inside Me, promo copy and Theiir Satanic Majestic Request. It might be same Bill?
Congrats Hanna, another great video.
Cheers!!!
P. S I am so excited, tomorrow is record show in Belgrade. Going to get some grails😊
Hi there, Ilija! So, tell me - did you find any gems at the Belgrade record show?! I hope you did!
I think Bill's may have existed for decades, so it's very possible that was the very one you visited in the 90s! You got some worthy finds there, too! I love Green on Red! Cheers!
I got Crabby Appleton first album, Hawkwind first album and Fraction - Moon Blood on CD, also got a new stylus for my turntable. Green on Reed are my 80's favouritea. Saw Chuck Prophet twice and Dan Stuart once in Belgrade. Had a nice chat with Dan after the show, took some photos with him too. Priceless 😊
Very nice, Ilija! What stylus did you end up selecting?! Isn't Crabby Appleton a little bit power pop? Pretty sweet pickups! I really love the first GoR EP that has the red cover and then Gravity Talks. I love their early days where they incorporated more organ! So cool you got to meet Dan after that show!
Great video as always Hannah. With Lana Del Rey, check out Norman Fucking Rockwell and Chemtrails over the Country Club.
Thanks, Jimmy! NFR is definitely what I’m seeking out next from Lana! 🙌🏻 I appreciate you stopping by!
Are you familiar with Aussie Band 'Died Pretty' I'm sure you will love them.Keep up the good work.
I need to investigate them further. I believe I ran into one of their records on this trip but I didn't get it because I simply hadn't sampled them. I've been urged to check them out before, though! I will remedy this!
Lots of interesting additions to your collection . I will be exploring the ones by Clean , the Sneetches , and Wild Nothing . Yoer video of Josey’s in Dallas reminded me of Record Theatre in Buffalo ( now sadly gone ) . I used to make regular road trips to Record Theatre from Toronto ( especially after our wonderful Sam the Record Man closed , which was multiple floors of record heaven ) . As for Cd shelves , I use Ikea book shelves that are are about 6 inches in depth , and about 4 feet high . I can’t remember the name , but they were an offshoot of the Billy shelves . They’re also great for DVDs and BluRays . Good Luck with the move .Cheers !
Hey John. Thank you for the comment I was always. Hopefully you had a decent week! I will look further in depth on the IKEA website to see if there’s anything else other than Billy that will work for CDs. I need to buy more record shelves anyway so I might as well just place a big order. I bet record theater was an amazing store. I hate when great stores end up closing. Omaha had about three record stores close in 2019, which was odd since that was a big time for this vinyl revival era. Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Yes , it’s sad to see the classic record stores disappear . I was in my teens during the mid to late 60s and early 70s . Every Saturday morning , my friends and I would head downtown to explore the new records at Sam the Record Man . It was a huge store that carried a lot of records from around the world . We would often meet kids from neighbouring high schools , and discuss our favourite bands , and get steered towards new artists that played similar styles of music . It was like a giant social club revolving around music . The Vinyl Community in person , so to speak . When Sam’s closed , it was like losing a part of our youth . That’s why it’s so thrilling for me to see channels like yours . You’re keeping that Saturday morning social club spirit alive . Many thanks for that !!!
I'll have to check out that store someday. Going Sunday, but will be working so might not have the energy to swing by. Saw Low and picked up an autographed Things We Lost in The Fire LP (I'm guessing it was a show for their record release). My friend was into them so I went with him to check them out. I found a sweet tall metal adjustable shelf for CDs at auction, but I can't make 2 400 mile trips in two days to win and pick it up. :/ (saw the auction ended already anyway.)
Glad you’ll be checking out Josey soon! Well worth it! Glad you had an opportunity to see Low as well. I saw them back in the 2000s and it was one of the most intimate shows I’ve attended. Sorry about that auction…too far away indeed!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I made it to Josey's. You know how big Dallas is, and it was only 2 miles away from where I had to go. Surprised you didn't mention the thousands and thousands of posters. I thought the record selection was unimpressive, but I did pick up a cool new find in the New Age section. Got a poster as well. :)
Yeah, we only had a limited amount of time so I didn't have time to browse the posters. So, we primarily stuck with the vinyl and CD sections...and not even the 45s. Glad you made it there!
I’ve been to Josey’s in Dallas. Cool store! Except I couldn’t find anything specific I was looking for. I had to constantly dig through several bins to find anything. I wasn’t feeling it. I did pick up some new releases from Their display along with a tote bag.
Great to see you here, Max! Thank you! When did you stop in Josey? I couldn’t justify spending $15 on one of their tote bags but I hope you have better luck digging there next time! What a store! 👌🏻✌🏻🎶😀
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Hey Hannah! Good to hear from you! I was there last May. My son & I went there. It was my first time in Joseys. Yes it’s a great store! Just had a hard time looking for stuff off my want list. Yeah, $15 for a tote bag is steep. I thought well, why not! lol Hope you’re about done with your move? Are you staying in Omaha? Just curious 😁
Hey Max! Yes, I'm staying in Omaha. Just moving less than 3 miles away. I'll be all moved in by May 1st. I have a lot more to do and haven't started moving my vinyl in yet!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert That’s cool! I’m sure you’re dreading moving your vinyl. Lol The one thing Us record collectors dread is moving our vinyl. Not looking forward to moving mine, reel to reel tapes, CD’s and minidiscs. Hope you have help! Do what I did…hire a local moving company. I’ll talk to you later. Take care
I have been using snap 'n store cd boxes for about 20 years. If you put the shelf in, 4 boxes fit in every kalax cube. I have many home made cdr's that are in paper envelopes.
Thanks so much for sharing your method! Never thought about using the Snap N Store boxes and placing them in the Kallax cubes. Take care! Enjoy the weekend.
Hey now Hanna my friend🌈🦊 good to see you and the footage? always super, so did you go up in the Arch? I’ve been up twice freaky how it sways...good luck on the move!! Woop 🙌🏻 Woop 🙌🏻.....why yes you HAVE TOO! ( record stores)😁🤣😉stay awesome and of course ...... hello to Chris- Lis ✊🏻😎🎶
Lis! Much love to you! Happy Friday! Yes, so I bought this sweatshirt when we went on the tour of the Arch back in December! It was a bit freaky. What an experience, though! Hope it's warming up in your state. We had high winds most of the week and it was chilly (blah). Catch ya later!
Hi Hannah,
For me Television was a huge influence for The Strokes !
Maybe you could listen to Durutti Column & also Jon Savage double set cd compilations on Ace Records,he's one of the most influential music guy for your music,i mean,new wave,gothic,post punk,shoe gaze,uk indie,etc ...
Hi Christophe! Wow, kind of freaky that you mentioned Durutti Column as I literally just picked up a reissue of one of their albums! I’ll talk about it in a later video. I just got it in the mail yesterday! 🙌🏻👍🏻😀
@@TheOmahaIntrovert OUAAH awesome Hannah ! I guess it's normal,there is an invisible wire from Lyon to Omaha;in France,we say"les grands esprits se rencontrent"means "great minds meet each other" lol
I think,you will enjoy this band !
I'm loving Durutti Column! So much that I just ordered an original of their 2nd album from a seller in Canada!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I knew it lol;i hope it's not too expensive,an original ! I think you love the unique duet of sharon van etten & angel olsen lol,take care dear Hannah !
Check out the new Zealand rock band called ragnarock from 1975 Great vocals and guitars.
They are new to me. I shall check them out. Thanks for the recommendation!
Josey Records looked awesome. Prices, though... I'm definitely priced out of most stuff (though $5 for Verlaine is more my speed). I've been listening to Lana Del Ray a bit this whole year: NFR is amazing and the one to grab (I did a
whole video on it), and I do like Blue Bannisters as well - smoky chanteuse jazz stylings on that one. NFR is almost a love letter to California singer-songwriters from the 70s and has just the perfect amount of the F word an album could have. Go find my
Gatefold CD sleeves video - you can downsize your entire collection and still be good.
Thanks, Kris. Just be glad you snagged all your LPs in a much more affordable time! I'm definitely wanting NFR from Lana next. Been sampling it and loving it. Thank you for sending me the link to your gatefold sleeves vid via Messenger. Enjoy your weekend!
Hi Hanna!
Nice to see you representing my city with your Gateway Arch hoody! So have you been here recently? If so, did you check out any record stores?
Hi Pat! Right on, we were just in St. Louis back in December. I think I briefly mentioned it towards the end of my Nebraska to Florida road trip video. Anyway, we were only there half a day and overnight. It was basically our last stop before heading back to Omaha. It was our first time going and we were overwhelmed by the city and definitely didn't have enough time to explore all of the record stores there. The only one we got to stop in was Record Exchange and I honestly didn't like it. A little too chaotic. I hope to go back one day and explore other stores! Let me know which ones you recommend the most!
"Too chaotic" is an understatement, that place is a cluster-f**k and also one of my places of employment - lol. I'm the online sales manager there. Too bad I missed you guys. You were probably there on the weekend. I don't work weekends. It would have been nice to see you guys in person. Anyway... Record Exchange... where do I begin... Once upon a time it was a super awesome store, but the owner's hoarding tendencies have become worse over the last ten years and it's really gone down the tubes. The excess audio and video equipment is a nightmare. Another more recent issue is the selection. Everything we sell there is used so our inventory is solely dependent on whatever comes in the front door by way of sale or trade and we just haven't been getting the abundance of great collections that we once did. Unfortunately, I don't see it improving any time soon.
Stores to check out next time you come through would be
Planet Score - a smallish store with a great selection
Euclid Records - great titles in great condition, kind of on the pricey side, but not insane
Dead Wax Records - small store, good selection, but kinda pricey
Vintage Vinyl - a bit overrated (hipsters shop here) but not all bad - selection is decent to so/so
Let me know the next time you guys are in town and maybe we can meet up and I can cart you around to the different stores. Getting around St. Louis can be a bit overwhelming to the unfamiliar.
First comment? Haha I haven’t finished watching video yet, but this is a rare opportunity where I get be a dork and be first 🤓 Josey is dope, I buy from them online sometimes.
You are first! Whoop whoop! 🏆 I already want to revisit Josey! Epic! Happy Friday!
5 buck lp!My wife is going to dallas visit daughter next week.Maybe i should of gone 😆
There were definitely deals at Josey! Now you know to tag along with your wife next time!
This was another great video as usual from Hanna and her inseparable friend Beetlejuice. Great albums behind her mainly R.E.M.-Dead Letter Office (1987). By the way, I love the Joy Division sticker! Hanna, I think that you and your boyfriend Chris would like to know the last great record stores here in São Paulo, Brazil that are located in ''Galeria do Rock'' and ''Galeria Nova Barão'' downtown. The names of some of these record stores are funny like Baratos Afins, Aqualung, Music House, Mechanix, Rock Machine, London Calling Discos, So What? CDs, Die Hard Records, Animal Records, Cactus Records, Super Discount Discos, Locomotiva Discos, Blue Sonic, Medusa Records, Made in Quebrada Discos, Extreme Noise Discos, Lado C Discos, Disco 7 Vinil, Sonzera Records, Vinil Art Rock, Head Cat Discos, Discos Leprechaun and others. What's your funny and favorite name? Take care and rock on!
Hi Alen! Thanks for the kind words, as always. I love the London Calling Discos store name! The name of my favorite store here in the US is in Olympia, Washington and it's called Rainy Day Records. Very fitting store name because of the rainy weather that region always seems to get. Omaha used to have a small record store called Earwax. I liked that name, too! Glad you liked the Joy Division sticker, too! Peace, Alen!
Checked out Sneetches and could only find an anthology album , but the tunes I heard sounded great. When you were rattling off a list of band names, I thought they all had such strange names. Sneetches is certainly one of them !!
Started listening to Lana Del Rey and she is very intriguing. Lots of profanity used very neatly….reminds me of Liz Phair on Exile in Guyville. I will investigate her further.
I enjoyed your road trip pictures. The first comment I read someone noticed that when you were looking through records in Dallas you came across The Red Album by Grand Funk Railroad. I noticed it too and I was wondering if you had heard their music. They were great on their first five studio albums. But that Red Album recorded in 1969 is the most primal to the extreme greatest garage rock of all time. It’s like The Who Live at Leeds which I know you love a lot. The Bass is like a lead instrument with fast drumming and a scorching lead guitar.
Most people think of “Were An American Band “ or “The Locomotion “. which is nothing like they were at their raw best.
I saw Grand Funk Railroad in 1970 and I got “Live at Leeds” when it came out in 1970.
I was so lucky to experience that
Anyway I was just curious….you have recommended so many bands for me that I have enjoyed very much… I was just trying to return the favor!!!
Thanks again for a very informative video
Take it easy Hannah 😎✌️
PS.
Grand Funk Railroad albums to check out
On Time. 1969

(Of course if you are interested)
Glad you checked out the Sneetches, Richard! Definitely a strange name! The Omnivore anthology on CD is what I started with.
Yes, Lana can somewhat be compared to Liz Phair. Both doing something unique, original, and different in their respective genres. Both extremely talented ladies! Ha, lots of comments on the GFR album I flipped through. I really only know their hits but I may circle back to listen to their stuff further! So much music out there…never bored, that’s for sure! ✌🏻🎶🎶🎶
nice video, hope your move goes well! saw 'the fleshtones' for the first time in 2019, top! if possible, filming the rarities on the walls of the shops would be great...
Hey Mike. If possible, I will try to get the rarities/high dollar wall when I go to the stores, but filming doesn't always happen the way I want it to depending on many factors...crowd level being the biggest. So awesome you got to see Fleshtones! Cheers!
Cool stuff Hanna.That record store with Punk and Metal reminds me of a store I went to back in the mid 2010’s that no longer is around called Eat Em Up Records which was a store that basically had Punk music and I found a couple really cool albums back then by the Canadian band Teenage Head and Detroit Garage Punk band Death respectively and I can respect ur opinion on Radiohead they’re one of my top three favourite bands but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.I use a shelf for my CD’s that my sister in law gave me years ago and whatever CD’s I have left I store in my IKEA unit where my turntable and Speakers are..take care and have a great weekend!
Eat ‘Em Up Records must have been pretty neat! One I would have loved to visit I’m sure! Thanks for respecting my opinion about Radiohead. Sometimes I aggravate people with my list of most disliked bands, hehe! I’m still doing some research on CD storage. You have a great sister-in-law! Thanks so much for your comment and see you on IG! 😀😀🎶❤️
I’ve seen The Fleshtones at least six times now. The Speed Connection albums are both a must if you can find em. Fun live Tones stuff. I saw them open for Roky Erickson which was like, it doesn’t get much better. Seeing Big Star was the only equal of that.
Hey Scott! I have the Speed Connection II record. So great! Wow, that’s epic you saw them open for Roky! Omg and then you follow that up by saying you saw Big Star..Dude!! ⭐️😯🙌🏻
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I sadly don't own that original vinyl collection of mine any longer, but, I recall buying Speed Connection II at my local record store in
fab. Levittown LI, and/or at Record World
which was a decent mall chain then but better than Sam Goodys. Record World
had a great new wave, punk and indie
dept. God I wish they were still around.
I love that they do REM's Windout and
all that, hilarious! I still can't even believe
i got to see Roky Erickson at all, really,
back in 2011 or whatever it was in
Brooklyn at Southpaw which is not there any longer, alas. A tiny club. Good grief!
Then the Big Star show was beyond
all belief, of course. I mean, I would never
have imagined I'd be there to see either show. Both rather unlikely. I guess Alex wasn't well but I got to see him play
finally. I turned the corner after the show
and David Fricke was standing there!
So surreal.
damn the Dallas Joseys looks awesome. the Amoeba comparison is spot on. I can't think of why the hell I didn't visit that place when I was in Dallas in 2016. I only had time for one store and went to Forever Young. But not sure how I passed up Joseys. Oh well. Now I have another reason to return to Dallas one day. I gotta dig into Fleshtones. They're one of those bands I've known about forever but just never dug into. Always enjoy y'alls road trips. I think you know that's my thing too. I'm off for a two month gig in south carolina next month. I'm trying to ease up on purchases lately but of course I've already checked into 1-2 places to hit up down there. I mean, how can I not? Funny you ask about CD shelves. I just moved into new apartment and have been trying to figure same thing out. But am ending up building my own. I just couldn't find anything that works for my CDs. I have like 1500 and my apartment is the third floor of a house and some of the walls have weird angles. So the only spot I had room to put CD shelves just nothing I found for sale worked. So just gonna build some very simple shelves myself. Great video as always. Hope y'all are doing good.
Happy Friday, Steve! Oh man, you definitely need to check out Josey if and when you go back to Dallas. This store was so epic! We missed Josey the first time and I was really jonesin' to check it out this time!
Aww, SC, nice. That's a state I'd really love to visit. My bro and his girlfriend were just in Charleston but he's not obsessed with records like I am lol.
I think you'd love the Fleshtones. They knew how to rock, that's for sure. I have 3 of their LPs now.
That's really cool you are building your own CD shelves. I know some handy people but they are busy building other projects and well, I'm not handy at all lol. So, I will just buy some shelves.
I need to check out more of your videos. I'm behind on everything due to this move and long workdays. Hope you enjoy your weekend!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert yeah Hanna I'm looking forward to the trip. And Charleston is where we'll be filming. So should be cool. I think there's a law that says only one record obsessed person per family. I might be wrong. I'm def gonna pick up some Fleshtones. I actually do think maybe I have a track or two by them just no full albums. And as for my videos they ain't going nowhere check em out whenever the dust settles. I know all about that having just gone through it. Well hope y'all have a good weekend. Always good to hear from ya.
Thank you, Steve! Quite excited to see what stores you explore in Charleston! 🙌🏻And one record obsessed person per household is probably for the best lol!
Next time in Dallas go to Forever Young Records in Grand Prairie a suburb of Dallas/Ft Worth. Much larger than Josey.
I featured Forever Young in a road trip video I did a few years ago and I mentioned that I didn't care for it in this video because of the high prices.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert would love to see that video. It does have some high prices, but it is blocks from my home and more convenient than going to Josey.
This might be the one: th-cam.com/video/OH_Ky2YcFCw/w-d-xo.html
Hi great finds...Really like that Joy Division sticker....Have u had chance to listen to the Band called White Lies..Highly recommended....Also love that Britpop book...Still a big fan of the Bands from that period.
I want that sticker..now...and I want to install it on my bumper.
Hey Jamie! I have had the opportunity to sample several tracks from White Lies and really dig them. I just don't haven't bought anything yet. Britpop and Joy Division forever! Thanks so much!
Great adds Hanna. Check out Norman Fucking Rockwell and Chemtrails Over the Country Club from Lana Del Rey. Those are two of my favorites from her. Blue Banisters is decent, but Chemtrails I think is the better album. Rock on!
Rock on, Brian! NFR and Chemtrails seem to be winners from Lana so I’m seeking those out next! 👍🏻 Thanks so much for the input and watching my videos as always! 😀
You should absolutely run to hear Norman F-bomb Rockwell from Lana. I never run into used copies of her albums either, I don't think the Lana Stan community gets rid of them. I love Brooklyn Baby, it gives me that nostalgic wonder of NYC that I get from Kerouac and the story Breakfast at Tiffany's. Such a great writer and singer in Lana Del Rey.
Hey Jason! Was happy to read your thoughts and warm words about Lana’s music! I’m going to seek out Norman Effing Rockwell from her next, for sure! Brooklyn Baby is so stunning! 🙌🏻 Thanks for watching!
Store a lot more filled out since I was last there
It’s definitely worth another visit then!😀
@@TheOmahaIntrovert definitely. It and NXT as well as some antique and thrift stores
Hi hanna on cd storage I have seen in ikea they do this long unit with adjustable shelf’s similar in design to kallax I don’t know full details but I’m going to investigate for myself shortly as I also have no cd storage and I’m moving rooms nightmare. Hope this gives you an option . Kind regards joe take care
Hi there, Joe! Do you know if it's the Billy model from IKEA for the CD shelving option? I wish you luck on your room move. Always a pain so I can sympathize! I'll be all moved in by May 1st. Be well!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert hi hanna no I didn’t know about the Billy option from ikea you mentioned briefly in your video maybe needing to purchase extra shelves? I may look at that too for room as it’s a good height? Thanks hanna love the Channel hope your move goes well and you love it at new place . Kind regards joe
Try to get The Complete Chris Bell box set it is amazing
Hi Anthony! I'll be searching for that box set. Good call. I love anything and everything Chris Bell! Power pop genius gone too soon!
In the mean time their is some of it on TH-cam
Put in rock city Chris bell should show 14 songs
Hi Hanna, excellent road trip and great additions. When you showed the Lana Del Ray, and said Pretty when you cry, it sparked a memory. It is a different song I think, but same title by V.A.S.T. I don’t know if you’ve ever shown any Vast or if you listen to them. It’s kinda indie rock and gets a touch industrial maybe. Visual Audio Sensory Theater is what it stands for. I love everything Jon Crosby does. Stacy and my go to song is Touched. Check that out if you get a chance. Lmk what you think. If you like or it’s not really your thing. Thank you for your great channel. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman
Hey Steve! I’m unfamiliar with VAST so I will definitely have to look them up! I dig a bit of industrial! I will check out “Touched” this week. Appreciate the recommendation! Your comment is very kind, thank you! 🙏🏻🎶🎶😃
Bill's records was probably on consignment. Just a guess. I've dealt with Josey on discogs before. Good folks.
Sadly Bill passed away and Josey ended up with his stock...
Hey Autumn! Been a while since I've heard from you! Hope all is well, my friend! I'm definitely curious to check out what Josey has up for sale on Discogs. Could spend 6 hours browsing their stock, I'm sure! Cheers!
I was practicing See No Evil last week: easy song and riffs, minus the soloing, as usual. I can play “Glory” as well from. Adventure.
Sweet! I’m hoping once life slows down I can get back to playing my guitar. It’s been a long time. I love See No Evil! 🎸
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I could jump jump...jump an ocean! haha. Such a sick song. It makes you wanna just get up and break stuff or dance or whatever. I love the second Television album just as much, though it's a different animal than the first one, to some degree. It's fun to finally learn some soloing because Television is dull without learning at least some of that. of course they had two virtuosos in one band!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Moving is hell, let's be plain, it's a stress out and exhausting no matter what. The first thing I do when I move and everything is in the new place is set up my desk, PC, audio stuff, or most of it, and get the internet going and all, and then worry about the kitchen and bedrooms and other stuff. Bathroom is usually easy! hehe. it took me months two years ago once I moved here to get to even setting up my guitar stuff and all that. And then it took me another year to set up my "home theater" room, which is now finalized, and get a collection of guitar amps and pedals
that I can live with. But oh god packing and all that I cannot stand.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Do you have a good amp? I would recommend a Vox modeling amp if not, any of those are great. Very versatile. You can go from a Fender to Vox Beatles REM sound, to Marshall in no time.
I should be all moved in by May 1st but the packing is driving me mad. I hate it. I haven't even started to pack my CDs... and there are lots! Yeah, the bathroom is definitely the easiest!
nice video and i luv how you take us into your road trip record stores all very tasty and im always amazed at the prices,in so,cal i never find things i like at decent price's anyway happy for you .You always seem to find artisrs i would pass by ,yet you buy them and make me realize that i need to rethink my buying habits haha sneetches for example i'd probably love,i need to quit acting like i know it all haha anyway i wont ramble but do appreciate all your work making, editing ect your postings,oh ! i also can,t stand radiohead, ,not so much the music its the vocals that give me a massive head ache.is your boyfriend still into jazz?i believe he was,if so have him check out ~KATANGA`with dupree bolton, thanks,please stay safe always,josys,looks great
My friend recently was perplexed that I did not like Radiohead. My reply: "I can't, you see......it's the vocals". My parents live in Southern California and I love to hit the record stores during Christmas visits. You're so right about the prices, not that it stops me from rabid consumption.
Hey Harold! I'm glad I haven't received a ton of hate comments because I said I dislike Radiohead. Thank you! It is interesting to see how different regions of the country differ in price for records. I guess California is the extreme with everything right now, gas included! Over $5/gallon?! I can't even imagine. I've been paying $3.59/gallon or so the past month and that hurts! How do y'all survive in Cali?! Lol. There is Amoeba though and I loved digging there! I thought Washington state had reasonable prices on records. The midwest is not too bad. Florida I thought was pricier. And yep, Chris still loves jazz and he's the one more likely to buy jazz than I am, although I am slowly expanding my horizons! Take care!
I don't think anything stops us addicts, Todd! Hehe!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert how we survive is really anyones guess,robbing peter to pay paul😱gas was up to 6 recently now back down to over 5, joke, funny im going to amoeba tomorrow,ptices while not good there also,there is a lot to offer, things you can,t remember was ever released,and things you,ve forgoten about,and tell Chris i love their jazz room,always sounds like a beatnik jamboree in there, im looking for dub reggae tomorrow- hey fingerprints in long beach is really nice also vinyl,but also cd,s you haven,t seen in years, i got the knitters,cd about a month ago there ,luv it all over again, port of sound in costa mesa also great small and packed,and prices good on older released stuff-if you come tho around the street is Bagatelles-records this is no hipster store just bins and boxes of records ,like a bookstore,cash only, this is where collectors will go,best part prices are decent for so.cal haha. anyway guys have a great safe weekend.🌻🇺🇦✌️
Bagatlles records ment to say is around the street in LONG BEACH from fingerprints.take care
Josey bought out Bill's Records after Bill passed away.
👍🏻👍🏻
Omg they got MC5 books and zines!! Oh holy hell. That turned out to be Michael Davis' fine book on his band which I need to order summarily and read!! And shall. And again,
I would never be able to find it in NY. Which is ....sad.
That is a bummer that NY has been so disappointing! Lots of treasures in the Midwest and south! Perhaps a road trip is in order?!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I guess that was my Gettysburg address of total music letdown haha! Four score and 7 years ago....I dunno NY is really bereft nowadays. I mean, I don't feel like a trip to Manhattan is even worth it these days, which is highly unusual compared to how it was 20-25 years ago or more. Brooklyn even, is a mixed bag. It's best if you are seeking only vinyl but even a lot of the better shops there have closed, or they just peddle the highest priced stuff. I find most of the shops on LI the same, and they tend to push very common music and I don't need more Beatles or Led Zep, etc.! If you are into
jazz, modern classical, any classical,
folk blues etc., you're really out of luck.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert PPS I was hoping WFMU FM would do their record fair show finally this year, after two years of being canceled with Covid, but their site has no info. on 2022, so I'm assuming they may still not run it for one more year. That would suck. That would've been the only reason
I might've trekked into Greenpoint this year.
What bugs me the most are the stores that only carry new, sealed vinyl. All the reissues. I end up just walking out. And yes, please not a store with all common music. There's a flood of that as it is!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I do know a few stores here on LI that do have a good deal of used vinyl, but it tends to be nothing much I'm interested in. Mostly common classic rock stuff. I just don't need any more Led Zep... I have more than I need! LOL Even the new reissues on CD I own. Box sets, check. No mas! No massss
Anyway, my turntable sucks first of all, I need to get a really good one before I start buying vinyl again, anyhow.
Do you like The Fall?
Hell yes! I have shown several of their albums in prior videos. Check out my Austin record show video where I found a UK OG copy of the Wonderful and Frightening World…
😀❤️🎶🎶🎶
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Another F band I think you'd enjoy, Felt. You might know them already.
Yes indeed. I adore Felt. I believe I featured them in one of my jangle pop videos. I did a 3-part series on jangle pop if you want to check it out!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Cool! I haven't watched all you stuff yet but will. Felt are my favourite band from the 80s.
Another thing that occurred last year in NYC is Rough Trade NYC in Williamsburg North, closed up suddenly after the pandemic eased a bit, overnight seemingly, and they have
reopened a tiny version thereof in midtown Manhattan, which I now read is A. useless B. spectacularly overpriced and C. has no decent stock like the Bkyln store did, and doesn't
have the music venue either, any longer, I don't think. WHY would they do that? They should have left it in Brooklyn. Nobody goes to Manhattan anymore to buy music.
Wow, the fact that a Rough Trade store closed at all is shocking to me. Seems like it clearly was a mistake. Somebody f$&ed up! And to reopen a tiny version…🤷🏼♀️
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I’m baffled as to why they left that fantastic location in Bklyn. Plus, I scoped out my secret Scottus parking spot about 3 blocks away, no meter or crowds! Waghhhh. Ah well. Anyway NYC still has record stores, but so many great ones closed. Just losing Tower and Other Music and most of the E and West Village stores was a massive blow over the past 17 years. You would easily find stuff like Tom Verlaine at Tower or Virgin Mega without much trouble.
Do you travel to any of the surrounding states to go record shopping? If so, what are your favorite destinations for digging?
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I haven't gone much of anywhere the past two years, so lately, not much. I haven't even ventured out to NJ in a few years at least. Last time I even did that was either to see The Smithereens, (2012 already) to Maxwells a few times before it shut down, and then to hit up Montclair Book Center to see if it was still good, it had been much better 20 years ago or more. It had vinyl downstairs, nothing great, all used, but the bookstore part was NOT what it had been. I wish Hoboken still had Pier Platters and all those shops that they had in the 80s. All gone for years now. Providence RI still has some decent indie shops, apparently. Boston and Salem do, too, supposedly. But I don't tend to venture far these days. Of course the past two years haven't been good for road trips.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I was going to hit up Philly a few years back for the record stores and maybe sell some books, or buy and sell, but I still haven't gotten down there. That city is so dangerous lately, I'm afraid to venture there. Normally I just don't care, I'll gas up the car and just go. I think Philly still has some decent record stores, as far as I could research. Last time I was even IN Philly was 1997 for the Sisters Of Mercy show at Electric Factory there. Had taken the train there that time and stayed overnight at a fab. Holiday Inn Express.
I'm cool, promise. The doll isn't freaking me out. It's fine, really. If it could just stop... staring at me like that...
🤣🤣🤣 He’s just hangin’!
YES !! I visited Forever Young records three times once each in 2017 2018 2019 before the current Vinyl Boom, the Pricing is utter Garbage. Massive cool store but the Vinyl only had 3 Price ranges, low overpriced, medium overpriced, and Super overpriced.
Whomever runs the Store is the Laziest sob in the record store buisness.
Yep, I'm glad you agree with me regarding Forever Young. I like the fact that they had a whole separate room for the rarer records but the prices were atrocious indeed. I had such high hopes when I first walked into their store, too! Such a bummer...
