Comments: This is definitely a college shop (blocks away from University of Dayton) and in general they don’t deal in much indie stuff. What they do deal in, they tend sell off for cheap too. Not always, sometimes you’ll get some real, “Why’s this so expensive? No one else knows who this is.” But more times then not the stars align and you get your favorite unknown artist for the unknown discount. Ultimately it’s just down the street so I usually stop in once a month.
Today we bring to you a new weekly (hopefully) feature: Score!

Comments: This store is crazy! Used to always stop there on my way home from college (even becoming a semi-regular despite the fact home and school were both hours away). Back then I’d always raid the “Budget Indie” section with great success. Fast forward five years (am I really getting that old?), my hip-hop tastes have increased and I figured, “Why not stop by again and check out the then neglected ‘Budget Hip-Hop’ section?” As you can tell, I was not disappointed!
