I am heading to Northampton, MA for a wedding this weekend. Anyone know if good record stores that are worth a stop?

I played at the Iron Horse when LFD was on tour with King Khan & The Shrines. Nothing worth a damn there but a bunch of lesbians...I did almost get beat up at the motel in Chicopee, Mass though by an angry guy in the room next door who didn't appreciate having a bunch me stand on the balcony in my underwear in a thunderstorm screaming while also smoking a joint while his kids were trying to sleep. So I guess to sum everything up: yes, the place is worth a damn.

"For Pequannock, the third inning was equal parts Murphy's Law and Dick Clark. Everything that could go wrong did, as the hits just kept on coming for Bordentown."

"heres a suggestion: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!"

They had to invoke the mercy rule.

"Bordentown sent 16 batters to the plate in an 11-run third that propelled the Section 3 champions to a 14-3 victory over Pequannock to clinch the New Jersey Little League title. The game was stopped after four innings because of the 10-run mercy rule."

Bryon & Thurston's Yod shop is there. I havent been there but it is probably worth a drop by. There are good bookstores in town too.

there actually are a couple decent record stores that i saw on the main drag there.  got a couple dr hook lps for a buck each in some place that was in some kinda basement/indoor shopping center and had a ton of lps.  also theres a mystery train records i think in amherst where i scored the buy our records new jersey's got it comp and a clarence clemons & the red bank rockers lp, both also for a single american dollar.

Anyone been by Mystery Train Records in Amherst recently. Making another stop up there this weekend and want to know if it's worth a trip.

the iron horse is a nice little place. i drove the two hours there to see kk+bbq in october. barely anyone stood up during their technical difficulty ridden set. i felt bad. i felt empowered when i went up to mark sultan the next night in boston, "hey mark member me from last night? great show". that was an experience worth youtubing, but i will pass.

So no

Ecstatic Yod--one of the best if you catch them open.  yod.com
Metropolitan Books and Records was a really cool little store.

Out of the way a little, but the Montague Book Mill is pretty cool (http://www.montaguebookmill.com/) and there's a record store in the complex.  Cool spot but perhaps not many scores to be had.

Thanks, the last time I was up there was when I made this thread initially. Yod was closed but I really want to check that out. I hit Mystery Train and got some solid stuff but it's a little out of my way. I'm hoping for similar luck if I stop by again.
