Happening upon a large independent record store, with sections dedicated to local music, was a bit like entering a time machine. In the age of Spotify, my girlfriend and I had long forgotten about the experience of standing at an album display, putting on a pair of headphones and pressing play amongst a flock of fellow music lovers, and then heading to the checkout with a new CD in hand. There s also a wild collection of movies, toys, clothing and merchandise, so it s a great stop in for gifts and a must see if you find yourself in Austin.
