Fourteen years old and we listened to the likes of X, T.S.O.L, The Misfits, Suicidal Tendencies, Social Distortion...We trolled among the import record stores hunting for anything rare or new. Valentine Records, Atomic, Zed's. Oh, those sweet and long ago days when vinyl was all important. I don't remember the last time I've seen a music store let alone a "record" store. My old turntable has been gathering dust and those old much loved albums have all been converted to digital and uploaded to my shiny iPod (a lifetime of music and counting always with me, always avaiable. You have to admit, though I may be waxing poetic here, that it's pretty cool). As it turns out vinyl is not dead and it might just be time for me to dust off the old Technics and spin a few for old time's sake. Only after visiting the local record store of course...

Greene Records itself looks like a typical alternative record store, which, sadly, is now an endangered species of retail. The square room is painted dark gray, and the walls are lined with neatly folded T-shirts and vinyl records. There’s a glass case up front that doubles as cash register counter, one side of it plastered with Subhumans and Bad Religion stickers.
