Description

Formerly known as CD Collector, this friendly neighborhood record store changed its focus when it changed its name. Now Radio-Active Records, the store has a wide selection of new and used vinyl and a sampling of CDs, instead of vice versa. Along with that change, Radio-Active has more than doubled its size. The new area in the back houses rows of vinyl and a stage. Local bands and out-of-towners with indie cred find their way to the small performance space almost every week. What will a show cost you? Nada. They're always free. Show your thanks by picking up a record. After all, you'll be hard-pressed to find something that doesn't suit your tastes as the selection ranges from current music to electro to rare grooves. PsssÂ… make good with the staff. A lot of the good stuff is in the back.

    Whether music is literally your hot, hot sex (Cansei de Ser Sexy -- go ahead and Google it) or you're the one trying to remember that one band with that one song, it's almost impossible to walk out of Radio-Active Records empty-handed. Crate-diggers and collectors belong in the enormous backroom, where there awaits a surprisingly undusty stock of wax nostalgia that includes rock, jazz, R&B, salsa, and a Nancy Sinatra platter on the wall that'll make eyes with you every damned time....

  • 2008 | Best Record/CD Store

    You walk into a record store and comfort is an immediate issue. Go into one of those supposedly hip stores and you get someone behind the counter with his nose sky-high; ask a simple question and he all but laughs. Fuck those places -- that's why you need to know Radio-Active Records. It's not just that Radio-Active has a wide selection of new and used CDs. They have employees who treat customers like friends. Plus, they're really making their mark by specializing in vinyl, ranging from... More »
