I can imagine in the mid-90's, Sound Cellar was a mecca of sorts for metallers. The place is…read morecovered in gig posters and is as the title suggests, down a tiny stairs to an underground cellar. It's the kind of place that really should have been rendered obsolete by downloading, but hasn't. Fair dues to it for keepin' on. It's a great place to pick up a hard to find record or box set, but it's so small they don't have much stock. Last time I was in there, I saw albums being sold on cassette. Again, fair dues. I only ever really use Sound Cellar for buying tickets to gigs, as it's the only place I know that sells tickets to almost all Dublin venues that isn't Ticketmaster. Plus, they don't charge you through the nose for add-ons like booking fees.

Going about business with a quiet stalwart dignity, unfazed by trends and the need to be shiny and the next new hip thing, instead very much it's own. This place sells books, well curated second hand and new ones. The selection is pretty good considering they don't have a lot of space, and I love the way they are laid out on the central tables so you can have a gawp or a good auld rummage. That's exactly the pleasure of this place too; you go in for a look and leave with something unexpected. It's not really a bookshop you go to with a singular book in mind to purchase - sure we have Chapters for that, this place is far more enchanting and perhaps, some might say, disorganized. There's also a great second hand music store in the back (Freebird Records) with a brill Blues section and decently priced CDs and vinyl too. Long may this place last. Go in with no expectations and you may well find yourself charmed.

As we walked by, we saw a sign that said, "Secret Book & Record Store", with an arrow pointing into a deep narrow hallway with posters of advertisements covering the walls. These places are the great finds in Dublin. At the end of the hall was a large room filled with used books, vintage vinyl & new releases including CDs. The store was a frezy of customers flipping through the bins of vinyl to find that one great band from their past. I did find a few old 80s punk albums but still on a quest today to find an original GBH or Exploited cover.

Currently reading The Amendments by Niamh Mulvey, and it'll be, without a doubt, one of my favorite reads of the year. Several more recs made it onto my TBR.
