Crossroads is my favorite- but it's definitely an overwhelming place (you will be there all day, even if that wasn't the plan!) Lost Avenue Books on Martin Luther King has a small but great selection of records- pretty much all original issues, and cheap!!

DJ Alice Wonder Portland needs a Total Punk Record store........

a friend of mine and I are working on buying a large collection and will hopefully be doing a big pop up once that happens

      filthqueen666 I love funk and soul, so I’ll definitely have to check this one out.

        Used to work at Q Is For Choir and Anthem, but Discourage and Crossroads were my regular spots.

          Forgot about this shop! I bought a Crudos (cardboard sleeve ) LP there for 2 bucks and a Chaos in Europe for 8 in 2004!

              Discourage was cool. Is he still around?

              And was Green Noise at one point just called Dirtnap? I think so, but can't remember for sure. I know it moved a bunch but I liked that location on Clinton St. Ken is so nice.

                Never called Dirtnap. It was first opened by Ryder Green in Eugene, then he moved to Portland and sold it to Ken Dirtnap. Ken also operated a Green Noise label imprint for a while, but there was never a Dirtnap store.

                    I heard space @ Lloyd Center Mall is cheap. Some friends did a quixotic Halloween museum there for a few months last year.

                    Total Mall Punk Records???

                        Nathan Loud There was a record shop at Lloyd Center for a couple or three months, but it bit the dust. Will anyone else step up?

                          Ha. Yeah, there were definitely deals to be had depending on who was pricing on any given day. Michael, Josh or Davey were responsible for those as they didn’t give a shit/know anything about hardcore.

                            Abe is still slinging through his email list. Don’t know what ever happened to Paul(?)
