Wrecka Stow: Landlocked Music – Bloomington, Indiana

Located at 115 South Walnut on the downtown Bloomington square, Landlocked Music is a must-visit place if you’re looking for a record store in the college town, or even just touring the downtown area. It’s a neat shop with plenty of stuff to dig through and discover, and there are many bargains to be had.

I mean, you walk in and see this? You know you’re walking off at least twenty bucks lighter, especially when you see stuff like this.

I would’ve snagged that Oingo Boingo record if I were a vinyl collector.
Kraftwerk Flexi-disc!
Throbbing Gristle next to 13th Floor Elevators! How cool is that?
Stacks of 45s

As I mentioned, there are plenty of bargains – new and used CDs, cassettes, and crates of cheap LPs.

I walked out of there after spending close to fifty bucks on used CDs, the most expensive of which was a Buck Owens CD and DVD of him performing on Austin City Limits – and that was only eight dollars.

I could easily have spent two hours in there, and they were playing a cool Ian Drury live album while I was there to boot. Be sure to check it out.

Keep your mind open.

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
