Check it, Sub Pop. This is a small store in Seattle-Tacoma airport. In the city is a real store and I really really want to go there. I’m assuming this is where Zoiberg and Hondabro hang out.

They have all of Nirvana on vinyl!!!!

And No Code too. I need a record player. And a need to start a vinyl collection.

Sorry but vinyl is so popular these days it’s almost basic. Especially new vinyl albums. If you’re going to collect it has to be obscure vintage stuff or maybe those little 7 inch records in pretty colors like blue or red.

To be truly hipster they probably need to be selling 8 tracks and betamaxes.

Well considering that Sub-Pop is the record label that Nirvana was on, I’d be pretty surprised if they didn’t have that stuff on vinyl.

That record label puts out some good samplers too.

Here’s the thing - you sell 8-tracks, it’ll become mainstream. You sell Betamaxes, and they’ll become mainstream.

Hipster culture makes things mainstream.

Nobody but hipsters want clunky 8 tracks. Like fetch, they’re not happening again.

Pick up the new Beach House album if they have it. It comes out Friday, but the early edition vinyl has already shipped. I’m all the way across the country and mine arrived today. I have yet to listen to it, but I’m reading good things.

I am so not cool.

I listen to all my music on a metal drum.

I pre-ordered the new Beach House album from sub pop. Bought a shirt from them too a while back, good quality.

They had it! I don’t have a record player but I think I might get one now.

Cool is overrated. Cool cares even while it pretends it doesn’t. That sounds exhausting.

I have this on vinyl (the bite is actually clear vinyl, it looks reall cool) -

Apparently worth 60-75 doll hairs on eBay. Looked it up about 6 years ago, and it was worth $20-30. Nice work, hipsters!

Awesome. I think it comes with a free download of the album. It definitely does if you order it from the web store. Maybe ask a clerk.

I am a solid gen x and Nirvana was my anthem so it struck a cord with me at a very deep level.

As a seattleite, let me just say: nobody needs all of Nirvana on vinyl. Nobody

Ha! The only vinyl I have are a few pressings from my brothers various bands. Sadly, neither one got famous enough that they would be worth anything. I was hoping to retire by selling the tape from their first band that they probably recorded on a boom box in my parents basement,

I pretty much love the Seattle airport. Sad I don’t fly anymore.

That is about the coolest airport store I know of. Vortex and Easy Street are pretty good for “hipster” vinyl in the general area too.

When I’m in SeaTac I do hipster things like get clam chowder at Ivar’s. So edgy. I do love some vinyl, though. The other thing that gets to come when we get the new place is my glorious quadraphonic console stereo and my vinyl. After all these years at my parents’ place I hope they’re not taco shaped.

SubPop is cool, but the most hipster part of Seattle is actually Portland.

Sub-Pop used to produce Nirvana...

The big open concourse is under construction so not so great right now.

Now I know, or I could have looked on a cd cover in my house.

All my music is on Edison Records.

You’ve probably never heard of them.

I saw a demonstration of the first device at Greenfield Village at the Henry Ford museum. It was one of two of the original aluminum drum phonographs.
