Hey Mazzy! Really appreciate all of the kind words you guys said about the store after getting a chance to dig. I wish I could have been there to meet you both, but I was out of town snagging some pretty excellent titles for the shop. Hope to show you some of them next time you’re in town. ✌🏼
A definite congratulations to Matt & Matt from Too Many Records & hope they are successful .. they are certainly putting out a good effort. Can't wait to check the place out .. looks fantastic 👌
Love that you documented this hook up in Portland! It looked like it was a fun day of digging for records. Glad you finally made it to Too Many Records. BTW - Hope you will be home in Seattle around 7/31 to 8/3 as I would love to meet up with you in the evening.
Great video Mazzy, a lot of well known whisky on the shelves in that bar. Where I stay in Scotland is where they distil most of them. Aberlour, Macallan etc etc all within 30mins of where I live. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
That last record store dare i say, It looked elegant compared to the others and yes very clean. Now all they are missing is the coffee and the bar like the store in Seattle. and they would be set.
I think you did the Portland stores right. 2nd Ave downtown would be good for metal and punk. Landfill Rescue Unit on Belmont always finds a way of making me happy as well.
Thanks for the recommendations. I live in Seattle, and about two weeks ago I visited Portland and shopped at a couple of the stores you visited in the December Portland video. I went to Too Many Records and Tomorrow Records, among others. I really, really enjoyed the selection at Tomorrow. I was there for about 1.5-2 hours going through everything they had. I also really enjoyed their selection of audio gear.
Poor Mazzy! Can't even go record shopping in private in a remote city without someone knowing him. (LOL) I must say your videos always put me in a good mood.
I remember that my local tower records and licorice pizza used to have the speakers hanging from the ceiling. Brings back good memories of digging there.
Not sure if it was deliberate, but that camera crawl along the aisle in the first store, with that weird unsettling music, had the touch of Kubrick’s The Shining. In the best possible way, of course.
what a great time...cool to see michael hanging out with you....very interesting selections you guys picked out as well..although...i love lou reed...but you may need some excedrin after listening to that one...just sayin'....peace to the both of you...rocky
I hope you two got to meet Matt Kessler, the owner of Too Many Records. He has a large following on RU-vid as well. Super guy! I'm going to Portland in May and will meet him in person!
Cool road trip video! I liked the scotch bar and seeing Mark in the video! When’s that cat going to make more videos? Also nice to see inside the “Too Many Records” shop.
Hot damn! Little Axe was one of the shops Alex Rodriguez shopped in his “Record Safari” doc. Always wondered the name of that place. That, the Poetry Mike meetup, and the TMR drop-by make this a terrific video. Cheers 🍸
I hope @TooManyRecords chooses to build off the positive experience from Mazzy’s video here to reach other parts of the vinyl community. Talking with others is much better than talking at them. I feel the community (at large) would love to support creators and efforts like the shop, but it takes engagement outside of the TMR bubble to invite others inside that bubble. That’s not meant as snark, but a commonly held perception - right or wrong.
@@ConcertBuddie if the guy just wants to make videos and run a record store, why is that such a huge problem? I don’t get the bitchy contempt from the so called vinyl community. Did the guy wrong anyone?
It's gotten too overhyped and overpriced. Most of the stuff labeled "Japanese Whisky" nowadays is just scotch shipped over and bottled in Japan. Suntory and Hakushu are the only "real" Japanese whiskies we get over here, and they are priced to oblivion because of the hype.
Awww… Matt wasn’t at Too Many Records? Hope you two meet up next time and at least you got inside this time. Looking forward to seeing my two favorite VC youtubers meet and talk music. Mazzy? Did you ever see the drawing I made for you? …of you. Take care guys, Morten
I definitely enjoy the road trips! I've been dying to go on one myself for quite a while and check out some vinyl stores in other cities. Maybe one day... Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
@@mazzysmusic Oddly enough, The Larch was the first episode Monty Python I ever watched. Saw it on our local PBS station on a tiny B&W TV at a friend's house when I was probably 11 years old. Things were never the same after that.
Love the road-trip videos Mazzy. I can’t wait to visit the northwest again. Its beautiful. Had a question; what was the music playing when you guys were in Too Many Records? Keep the videos coming. It is the music!
Don't drink and shop if you have too many records. Holey Dizzy Gillespie, I have a version of that Debussy. Despite the F1 camera work, I managed to spot the Divinyls and Laura Nyro at a pit stop.
they filmed The Birds in Oregon didn't they...sea gulls....damn, thought I saw a Yellow Magic Orchestra...in Small Axe, oh well too far to drive to. Nice Record Porn
@@mazzysmusic good grab, gulls at the beginning of video made me think of The Birds, I think it was Stand By Me not Birds, envious, love west coast vicariously
Sending early condolences for that Refused record... the only hardcore record more overrated is Converge's Jane Doe... I will die on this hill haha. In all seriousness though, looks like you had fun, did you actually buy that Boris, because Michael wasn't steering you wrong there.
@@poetryonplastic I fully acknowledge that I am in the minority when it comes to my opinion on both of those records ha, I'm just glad you didn't tell him to buy David Comes to Life.
@@poetryonplastic I'm surprised you didn't go to Landfill Rescue Unit when you were in town; I guess you'll have to come back to Portland and let me take you around :)
And regarding the organization… I guess you don’t understand that Crossroads has dozens of individual sellers like an antique mall. Each has their own organization. A little confusing at first I agree, but I really like it now.
