Yay For Crim!!

This is Criminal Records. If you live in Atlanta, you should be there.

The death of record stores? Psshah! They're totally alive and well. And even have a day made just for them! In compliance with the AWEsomeness of record stores 'round the country, Paste Magazine compiled this little ditty:

The 17 Coolest Records Stores In America.

Why 17? Who the hell knows? They're not in any particular order, although Criminal does come second on the list...not saying, just saying.

Check to see if your hometown shop is on the list...and then cry/grumble with anger when you see it's not. Because we all care this much about record stores.
