Charlottesville Plan 9-Records?
- Thread starter The_Non
- Start date
havent been there forever so i catn call it. keep an eye out for a private folk thing from charlottesville called "dodge d'arte" with a beach on the cover. if youre headed out 64 you might want to have a stop in stanton. i found great stuff there when i was working on a movie once.
I have to agree that most of the times I have stopped in it has been bleak but I have copped some decent stuff before. It just depends if someone has dropped off a decent collection recently. 12"s, private presses and foreign stuff tend to get overlooked when pricing too.

You should have checked Steady Sounds instead.

I did foo. I bought a boatload of stuff, but didn't spend the time I wanted to because I got in an argument w/my ladyfriend. I hope I didn't make a bad impression on the homeslices in there.

I agree, it is very sad, don't bother
dunno the last time you were there but they seem to have a decent selection. not nearly as picked over as the richmond location
Last time I looked it was all toto records. I will revisit.

I grew up near Charlottesville and would be curious to see this - where did you see it?
Plan 9 was the first "cool" record store I ever went to - this was back in the eighties. Going there definitely set me down the road of buying music. There was a sort of mystique - with cool esoteric posters and records and hipper-than-thou clerks. It all seems embarrassingly "High Fidelity"-ish now but that stuff makes an impression on a fourteen year old.
Reading that it is not much for records now does make me a little sad/wistful, although I sort of had an intuition that this would be the case.

actually, yes -- I saw this at Sxsw last year randomly (just happened to fit an open slot in my schedule) and it was pretty entertaining. some definite characters work that lot, and it reminded me a lot of a few retail jobs I had where very bright people tended to stick around for years, hiding from the other corners of life. Also pleasantly surprised to find I knew one of the employees featured in the doc, a guy who moved to Bmore for art school shortly after it was filmed.
