If you want to see what a real record store looks like, check out All Day Records at 112A E. Main St. in Carrboro. Lacking the annoying 'rockist' viewpoint of CD Alley and the plain ignorance of Schoolkids, All Day Records is stocked with nothing but the finest, gold label shit in ALL genres, old & new. The day I snapped this pic, I picked up Curtis Mayfield's Got To Find A Way for 7 bucks like it was nuthin. You ever see that hanging out in the other shops? Nope. I think I skipped by some original English-pressed Magazine albums on the way there, too.
That's just sugar on the tip of the tongue for ADR's selection - most of the stuff in there I had never even heard of -- thankfully. Why? Because you won't get tired out digging through the used bins past all those Police, Madonna, Talking Heads, and Prince albums you see all over the place and don't want. They're not there. This should immediately put a smile on your face. It's like being in a liquor store with all top-shelf booze, no Jose Cuervo or Aristocrat. They also sell cool vintage stereo equipment.
The store's owner is Ethan Clauset, a dude that's about as legit as they come. He designs websites, DJs killer parties, and knows way more music than I do. You should be thankful someone like this is wasting his time in North Cackalack. Go see him asap in downtown Carrboro, right across from Weaver St. - so you can go preen with your new records in front of frumpy librarians while you have lunch.
Drooby dooby doo where are you pal? We need POSTS, stat!
