allow me to introduce...
for those of you who don't know, i have been kicking around the idea of opening a record store here on the beautiful north shore.
well, today my phone rang with some good news and on friday i sign the lease to venture into the world of capitalism. i can't tell you how excited i am about this, but i need some help. i've been racking my brain to come up with the perfect name for the store.
here's where you come in.
i need all of you, my creative and beautiful friends, to throw out your suggestions for a name for the best little record shop since "championship vinyl."
keep it clean, i'm serious about this.

well first let me say congrats...
all my friends are doing things with there lives. james is starting that bio-d thing (he should call it hippy fuel for yuppy's with a conscience... maybe not) you are starting a record store while me... i am a 31 year old construction worker living in a shanti... i moved out of that dudes basement. yippy me.
you should call it sock puppet records
speaking of.... www.loobylu.com/softies/index.html
or you could call it the G spot
as in G for Grrrrraaaaattte records.
what did you think i meant?
what about broken records?
mike- sock puppets will no doubt be a major force in my future, but probably not as a namesake.
i'm ignoring the other one.
jeff- i dig the "broken" or "busted" thing. maybe we can work with that.
thanks, keep 'em coming.
I think a "Broken records" used to be the name of a Christian music label.
How about "Modern Vinyl," "North Shore Records" or "Vagabond Records."
ooh. i like vagabond. we have a new leader.
although, north shore is good too, just too obvious. we would need a chik-fil-a.
that's amazing.
i'm dying at guttersnipe. that rocks!
i think vagabond vinyl the best.
i'm with gentry.
i'm so stoked for you!!!!!!
let me know when you decide how to decorate and i'll do some art for you!
I'm going to make sandwiches and cookies and work there and give you my Boomerang Soundtrack to sell!!
what about "in the groove"? ;-) aem
so cade... here are some of the Latin terms for music as we discussed at the concert on wed. night. see if any of these or parts of these are suitable.
I do like my husbands suggestion the best though! :)
musica
Latin for Music
musica mundana
The harmony of the universe
musica humana
The harmony of the body and of the soul
musica recta et musica vera Right and true music
Then there's always Sforzando...
he,he :)

Taking a cue from Jamie: Wanderlust Sound. I also like Vagabond Vinyl-you could have a kickass logo with two V's. Here are some others:
45/33 (kudos to those who know what this means)
Round the Hall
Needlescratch
Wanderlust Music
Shantytown Records
Ear Delicious (only half kidding)
Ear Pleasure
Jingletown Rock
Rockaway Sound
North Shore Rock
Inlet Music
Poison Ivy Blues
Old Tunes/New Tunes
Ticonderoga Music
Innsmouth Music (using Innsmouth from H.P. Lovecraft's short story-people on the North Shore might know it, thereby ensuring an ecclectic diversity of customers)
Good luck!
A few names to remind you of good times...
Sami Records
Flying Detergent Records
New Earth Records
Ellsworth Records
Meniscus Records
For the record, I like Vagabond Vinyl or Vagabond Records...
However, any way you can tie in a Christian name without being to overt? I know this won't be a Christian music store, but...
Gabriel's trumpet
Devine Vinyl
De-Vinyl (I know, cheezy)
too bad Caedmon's call is taken.
wasn't di-vinyl that group that did "i touch myself" in the 90's?
how 'bout voltrons vinyl yard?
damn, that sounded way better in my head.
how the hell did those two come up with those huge lists?
oh i got it... Vegies and Vinyl you could sell records AND sprouts and shit
master blaster,
master of disaster,
conan the barbarians,
G I and Joe's Vinyl
The Sure Thing
Say Anything
Everything But John Denver
Live Nude Girls Inside
Money Vinyl
Sick Vinyl
Rad Records
Thriller
Final Bend Records (cade and james know this)
Trundle's Stash
just thought of that one
*everything but John Denver*
Fletch, you crack me up...
Revelation Records
even more...
come on....30 comments! you can do it.
I like Fletch's G I and Joe's Vinyl and voltrons vinyl yard too. How about Thundercat Records? Thundercats, ho....
wanted:
cheesy 80's posters with which to decorate newly found record store in massachusetts.
inquire within.
I'll see if mom got rid of my NKOTB and Batman posters, but I fear they are long gone...
Dude, I've got a TON of NKOTB posters somewhere.
Also, I still get popups when visiting your blog.
Your blog tells me to get this:
http://adopt.hbmediapro.com/adopt.hbm?l=LB_STANDARDINTERNET_APR2005&sz=pop&redir=1&nmv=1&nrsz=0&r=h&rnd='+bnum
awesome!
leanne, i don't know what to tell you. it's blogger, not me. at least i think it is.
i might be migrating over to my own server soon, but we'll have to see.
wow, I came into this conversation late!
Congrats Cade!
what about:
R-Cade Records
Round Table Records
Turn Table
Throwback Records
Scratch'n'Spin
Rubix Records
World Records
Olympic Records
New Moon Records
Wayward Puritans
Vital Vinyl
Steroid Era Records
Music Too
Royal Records
Just have to say that "Vagabond Vinyl" is almost too much of a gimmie with the alliteration and all.
Still satisfied with Vagabond Records
Or Fletch's "Live Nude Girls Inside" works too. Worked for the Barenaked Ladies at any rate.
what do you have against "final bend records?"
unofficial results:
4) wanderlust music
3) everything but john denver
2) the (record) annex
1) vagabond records ("vinyl" conjures a medium that may be hard to carry. i don't want to misrepresent.)
thanks, and stay tuned for further developments.
it's not cheesey, but i have a ramones poster that's a misprint - the wrong members for the date...i don't really have any use for it anymore...i'll keep my eyes open at the thrift stores too.
they don't have to be cheesy, i guess. i have a police "synchronicity" promo poster, so there will be a mix.
thanks.
Go to Harrison's Comics in Salem or at the Liberty Tree Mall (why it's still called that when there is no tree anymore is beyond me). They sell cheesy throwback posters.
Comment #42 - just cuz i can. hahaha!
