Carpe Diem

If you’re looking for vinyl, this is your place. Large selection of records and very random/​vintage items. It’s a neat place to check out and walk around.

Very cool little antique/​record/​curio shop filled with very cool stuff. Clothing, typewriters, super 8 cameras, art, kitsch, and generally awesome stuff that hipsters love. And I don’t mean that negatively. Not pretentious or snooty, just a cool little store in a cool little town south of Nashville. This is the awesome kind if store that could never exist in LA or San Francisco or NY because it would be overrun by smarmy fashionistas in overpriced vintage gear.
Now, I dropped in to look at records and was not disappointed. Prices are fair and the selection is … different. Lots of the same common $ 1-​$ 3 records you see in record store and thrift shops across the country, but then LOTS of rare stuff you just don’t see anywhere. Original Patsy Cline on Decca? Yup. A LEGIT, non-​counterfeit Introducing the Beatles on Vee Jay? Yup. That amazing first gospel record that Elvis did in the late 50s? Yup. This place has more Beatles, Dylan, Elvis, and Hank Williams Sr. than you and three of your buddies could carry. Seriously. I found a first press Sweetheart of the Rodeo in NM– condition for $ 16. Again, prices are fair and they have stuff I’ve never seen out in the wild before (see: Byrds purchase and Beatles LP). Some really serious records in there.
TL;DR — This is a great little shop filled with great antiques and records, and has that organic, non-​manufactured «authentic» feel that hipster-​type folks are always searching for. This store is an absolute gem that deserves your patronage.
