My pals Scott and Lindsey have a fantastic record store in Portland, OR called Exiled Records. Lindsey and I used to be in the Vomit Launch band mentioned below. This store is super hand-picked cool music - lots of out there shit, cool dub reggae, freak folk, vinyl and such. In fact, I dropped off thousands of CDs from my collection recently so anyone looking for lots of cool shit from the 80's/90's, NZ pop and more should drop in there. Exiled Records 4628 SE Hawthorne Blvd Portland, OR 97215 (503) 232-0751 They just opened up an online store, which is run by studio client and pal of mine, Sam Coomes of Quasi. Drop by and sign up for his mailing list and see what's for sale.
Tape Op is a bi-monthly magazine devoted to the art of record making.
