I expected the wait but when i came back they only took half the games saying the others were too scratched to work, which is false as the last time they were out of the case they worked just fine.

Wow! I had no idea that this company was still around until I heard the news recently that they…read morewere going out of business. To be honest, I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did, especially after the emergence of all the streaming services out there now. Years ago, like millions of other people, I found their penny deal to be irresistible. I was only a kid, so having music delivered to my door, as opposed to begging for a ride to go to the record store, AND getting it for next to nothing was a dream come true. ...That is, until it was time to pay the piper! It was a well known fact that they would make up for those nearly free albums by charging much higher prices for subsequent ones. Although I can't remember the exact details, somehow, someway I avoided buying any additional albums, while still keeping the (almost) free ones. What I haven't forgotten were the very stern lectures from my angry parents on the importance of financial responsibility. All that scolding I endured was totally worth it though. I was able to expand my music collection at a time when it was much more difficult and costly to do so. And for that I'm actually grateful to Columbia House.

Oh well, after September 2026, Columbia House, the originators of the ten records, CDs, DVDs and…read morecassettes for a penny will be no more. Starting as the Columbia Record Club in 1955, at one point Columbia House shipped fifteen percent of all physical media sold in the US. Legions of American teens (including myself) signed up for the unbelievable front-end offer and then became amnesic to the responsibility to buy additional music at grossly inflated prices. It's a wonder the company lasted so long. Basically, you'd load up on Jethro Tull, Stevie Wonder and Aerosmith for a penny and then refuse the monthly shipment of Christopher Cross, Maria Muldaur and The Little River Band until Columbia gave up. Hell, we were 15, who cared. Five stars for much simpler times.

This time was a different story. I walked don't the entire first floor and boy was I surprised! They have sage, crystals, jewelry, dream catchers, Greek supplies, tshirts, posters, records, etc. I really can go on and on. This store meets both your spiritual needs and eiu swag needs lol. Service was great. I had question about some crystals. The young man working let me know he didn't know much about crystals but his girlfriend did and she would at work the next day. I went the next day and she surely knew about crystals. She answered all of my questions and more. I really like this store! And everything is reasonably priced.

I went in looked around and found a movie, while I was checking out the clerk tells me about the reward card and how it would save me money. She tells me its "Free" and asks if I want one I told her If its free I will take it. Mind you I am only buying one movie thats on sale for $3.00, so I go to pay and she tells me to click on the pin pad to continue before using my card. I look down and see a wall of text that I need to scroll threw. I read the first few lines and find out that the "Free" card will charge me $11.99 after 30 days. I ask the clerk about it and she responds with "oh its easy to cancel you just call and say you don't want it anymore" I told her just to take it off and sell me my movie without the membership. I understand selling memberships I've done it in the past at old jobs but I have never told a customer that a paid membership is free just to get my numbers up If the staff needs to sell these memberships to keep their numbers up they need to do it in a less sleazy way.

I don't know much about the label or mail order business at all, but I can safely say that Parasol's storefront carries the best, and extremely well-edited, selection in town for indie and punk vinyl, CDs, and DVDs. Just the latter alone! You can buy the Kill Rock Stars Video Fanzine III, live performances from Coachella, and documentaries about freestyling, K Records, or even that one about early California hardcore, which features far too much footage of TSOL. There are also bins full of seven-inches, and a decent-sized collection of $1 vinyl and CDs. Much time could be successfully killed here. Anywhere I can buy the A-Frames Black Forest LP, and peruse seemingly endless back issues of Mojo, is aces in my book. They'll also special order anything you want, which means that I won't have to save my shopping list for trips to Chicago's Reckless!

I…read moreused a search assistant feature on my new model mobile phone to find Tracks, which I assumed was the town's horse racetrack. I had a hard time finding a place to park, due to the abundance of vehicles already taking up all of the spots. I drove for over an hour looking for a place to park. I eventually drove back to my home in Indianapolis, Indiana and took an Uber to Tracks. It was a long drive, but I gave the nice driver some very enlightening life advice as a tip. He was receptive, grateful and kissed my hand as I exited the vehicle. When I walked into Tracks for the first time, I knew I was in the wrong place. So I walked out the door and entered again. The second time, I knew I was still in the wrong place. I decided to ask some people in the shirt section what was going on and why there were no horses in here. No cashiers. No tickets littering the floors. They seemed genuinely confused, and offered me nosatisfying answer. I noticed a tall gentleman working behind the counter and thought "finally!, a guy who knows what's going on!". To the best of my recollection this was our conversation: "Hello, sir, I enjoy your location but dislike the parking options, could you point me to the horses" "Sorry about the parking it can be bad on the weekends. What horses do you mean?" "The racehorses, the ponies, where is the TRACK?" "Sir, we are a record store and sell IU merchandise, I think you might have us confused with someone else." "of course not, I knew all along" In an attempt to play off my blunder, I shimmied to the shelves containing large circular music. I browsed through their selection not knowing what to do next. My car was in Indianapolis, I spent all of my money on a Uber, and now I am pretending to want to buy circular music. When they weren't looking I did a military crawl out of the door. I am sure it is a good place if you want circular music or IU merchandise.

It is inconsistent, but you can also find some pretty cool things. Prices are not bad and they often have deals if you buy multiple items. I would say that they are better for movies than anything else; it is a pretty vast selection. It can be crowded and a bit messy. It seems like the employees are most of the problem here. The shelves can be really out of order and I have seen many times when the same item was listed at multiple different prices or had gunk and other stickers all over it. If you are patient and do not mind doing all the work yourself you can find decent deals; just be prepared to wait ages for anyone to help with things you cannot reach yourself.

I recently met the owner, Jeff Brandt, at the store while my partner was on the hunt for Taylor Swift and Charli XCX vinyls. Jeff was immediately attentive and we struck up conversations about Taylor Swift, the positives and areas of improvement downtown Champaign could use, the area's history as a musical mecca, and much more. It was easy to see how much love and sweat equity he's put into the community and the store. An adjacent vintage store has closed but Exile regularly hosts pop-ups, underscoring its community-first vibes. When you're looking for vinyl finds, skip online, Target and chains and support institutions like Exile on Main!

The store itself has an interesting layout that promotes exploration and discovery. There's a nice mix of used and new vinyl, (mostly used) CDs, and even some cassettes and VHS tapes. I'd say Exile's strengths are all things indie, major artists from the 90s onward, classic rock, and a bunch of niche stuff. I like to find reissues of 90s and 00s electronic stuff there, and they typically stock new jazz releases from Blue Note and some of the other big labels (not a huge selection, but everything they have is good). Of course, this is just my perception. You'll find each genre well represented. If you don't see what you want, the owner is happy to get it for you. He's a great guy with a deep knowledge of music. He actually has a whole section that he's selling from his personal collection, which is an interesting category. It's like a bunch of great titles that have been out of circulation for a long time. Overall, this is a fun place to find good music. Check it out.
