Positive Review for Neptune Music Co.

I originally posted this in Google Maps. I know it's a little lazy to put the same piece of writing up in two different spots on the internet, but I'm doing it anyway. So there.

***************************************************
I had a magical, weird little experience shopping there this weekend. I likely didn't see the same clerk that the negative review below was stuck with, and I'm grateful for this.

 

The shop was informally stacked to the ceiling with CDs, records and movies. I had to tiptoe my way through the paths to search the inventory properly. This layout certainly isn't for everyone, but I felt like I'd stepped into an attic in a Michel Gondry video. It could easily have been a scene out of "Science of Sleep."

 

I told the clerk initially that I wanted to see if they had any music recorded by Robert Crumb. Although they did have something(!), what they had my husband already owns. This started a conversation about ragtime and more generally of quirky jazz overall which led me to a listening session that triggered an impulse purchase of a Slim Gaillard album, because the song "Serenade to a Poodle" made me giggle.

 

I will DEFINITELY return and I hope I'm able to work with the same clerk again!
