I really love MetaModern Music! I heard a new vinyl shop opened just recently and been wanting to…read morecheck it out. My boyfriend and I visited on a Saturday afternoon. It may be small but you will be surprise with the selections of music. Everything was categorized and easy to find. Jazz, Rock, R&B Soul, Soundtrack, Rarities, etc. I would rather go to a record shop that is not too huge. It can be overwhelming and overkill when there is way too much. My boyfriend and I found quite a few old school vinyls for reasonable price. There was even one soundtrack I was shocked to find and it was only $5.95! Definitely made my day. Besides vinyls they sell T-shirts and even turntables. They even have a listening station. The owner was very friendly on giving me tips on finding some good speakers for my new turntable I got for Christmas. I was pleased with MetaModern Music and can't wait to go back to purchase more vinyls!

LOVE this new record store in Oakley. Was so excited when I heard about it opening..it did not…read moredisappoint. It's a pretty small store overall, but the selection they pack into this small space is incredibly impressive. So many great and obscure records to choose from. Pricing is very reasonable..some used stuff for a couple bucks..new stuff for honestly lower prices than I've seen at any other record store in the area. The guy that runs the place is cool too. Seems to be pretty knowledgeable in all things music..I mean if he's the guy that stocks this great stuff than he'd have to be. Highly recommend this store to any and all music lovers in the area. I hope it sticks around for a long time..can't wait to go back!

I shop here often but, just a nice story for those looking for a great place to get your music and possibly make a few friends. Also found just what I was looking for at a great price, I never leave empty handed. Shop at everybody's records.

This is one of the strangest record stores I've been in, which is apparent from the moment you walk…read morein. It's a rather large space with records shelved everywhere, on every wall, on every surface in fact except the ceiling. There is nothing new here, and the only nod to "record store conventions" is a small selection of newly arrived used records right up front. They have one of the largest selections of records I've seen at any record store anywhere, but the organization is a bit disheveled, so be prepared to spend a couple (enjoyable) hours here. Once you work your way to the back of the store, you'll notice a dimly lit staircase going downstairs. You'll think about whether or not you're supposed to go down there, but when you finally decide to, you'll find another equally large space in the basement, filled even more haphazardly with much more obscure stuff. You'll see a corner in the back with thousands of records tossed into a heap on the ground, and you'll find really obscure genres and collections from vinyl's infancy down here. This is my favorite part to visit, even if it can be frustrating navigating through it all. The pricing in general is fair. I get the impression the prices are determined on a whim without any research in advance. On any given trip I find records that are both greatly overpriced and insanely cheap. I tend to ignore Discogs when I'm here and just go with the flow. If you're in OTR this is a must visit, even if you don't buy anything. And when you're done, stop next door for a coffee at Iris, which is owned by the same folks.

I cannot begin to explain how excited I was when I heard the news that there was a record store in…read moreCincinnati that had somehow slipped under my radar. So excited, that I am ashamed of how long it took me to actually get down to Another Part of the Forest and check it out for myself, a shame that was only compounded after I completed what was truly a good record store outing. Although Another Part of the Forest is located directly on Main Street, it can still be very easy to miss during the day time (at night you have the luxury of being able to see the records through the window), so for any future visitors just look for Iris Book Cafe and it is literally directly next door to that. Once I made it inside the store, I was immediately struck by two things, how cramped it was and how friendly the owner was. As I mentioned, the place is very cramped due to the immense amount of vinyl stuffed into this small space. Although the selection was pretty good, I have to admit that the physical quality of the records here are not as high as they would be if you found them at Shake It or Everybody's. However, the prices very reflect what it is you are buying and what condition it is in. What really made this a four star review for me and not a three star however, was the friendliness of the owner. I didn't catch his name but he greeted us with a smile and a hello as soon as we walked in the door and you could tell he was genuinely excited we were showing interest in his shop. On top of this, I had about $20 work of records I had picked out and he knowingly sold them to me for only $15. I have NEVER had anyone at any record store knowingly sell me something for less than what I was willing to pay. I hope that the friendliness and devotion shown by this man and Another Part of the Forest allow this store to thrive in what is becoming one of my favorite Cincinnati neighborhoods for years to come.

I didn't know that Old Milford had a vinyl shop. My fiancée and I went bike riding and were…read moreexploring the Old Milford area and stumbled on this place. Since we couldn't go shopping because of our bikes, so we waited to dine in at the French restaurant Chez Renee a couple weeks later and afterwards we paid them a visit. Wow! This place looked small from the outside but when you step in, they have so many vinyl! I was like a kid in a candy store. They sell everything. Vinyl (new and used), cassettes, videos, vinyl accessories, record players and more. The vinyl is categorized in genre. Very organized and clean. My fiancée and I found some used vinyl in the $1.00 bin and on the racks. Plus we got a melted vinyl decor bowl for our home. I read on the sign that they have live bands that play here on occasion. I really love this place. It was fun vinyl hunting for unexpected treasures. What a great experience and highly recommend this place.

If they had they're Mortal Kombat 2 arcade game turned on, I might've been tempted to stay all night. We left with a pretty big stack and a good portion of it was from their dollar bins up front.
