The guy at the counter was super friendly, and just reeked Cool. He loves the rescue cat that roams the stores. He even has a coin box and poster explaining a cat rescue group. I like that compassion. The shop is cool with album covers on the floor. That is an art piece in itself. Today is my birthday, and my son is buying. First on the list is Jefferson Starship's Red Octopus. Other shops have told us the album is hard to find, sells fast, expensive. We found it!!!! The price was very good!!! I'm ecstatic! Also got The Doors, Three Dog Night, and Gordon Lightfoot. I've heard about Robin Trower, so I got one of his albums. They have a listening turntable with headphones that I used. There is a group of nostalgic records that were goofy and fun. A small stage is for anyone to perform. Inquire at the store.

These guys are incredibly nice and accommodating. I called to ask about selling some records and…read moreNoah answered. He was friendly, courteous and patient as I mentioned what I had to sell. Also, honest. The day I arrived I could not remember exactly where the store was, so I called again. Noah was very kind again and narrowed it down. Upon entry Noah was very friendly and helpful. He smiled and we laughed at some of the goofiness I entered the store with. I think I had two LP boxes, and Noah came to aid. Pete the owner came out at some point and amidst all the small talk, you could tell these folks are what small independent places need. They went through my stuff and we'd have some small chats todo about nothing really. I can babble when I sense friendliness. Save in point if you're reading the review. You could see the regulars that come by, other folks... and just a genuine cool place with a cool owner and co-worker. They could teach a graduate school class on customer service. We need that lately it seems! On a scale of 1-5 they should get a 10 for just being human and humane. As I was leaving Pete and I had a very cool, relatively personal conversation which was very endearing. So if you're on the east side of CLE or early for a show at the Beachland on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday... check em out!

If you're looking for anything resembling popular music, don't come here. You will be disappointed…read more If you're looking, however, for dance, electronic, or experimental music, this is the right place. The owner is, shall we say, a bit prickly. He sized me up the second I walked in. Because I've been going to record stores for years and have encountered music snobs more than once, this amused me more than anything. Once I pulled out a DJ Stingray (legendary techno DJ from Detroit) album, he knew I wasn't a noob. He got further confirmation when I asked about some Fennesz (amazing Austrian experimental guitarist) albums. Once you get him going about music, he warms up. Bent Crayon has very hard-to-find titles like Drexciya (iconic sci-fi techno duo from Detroit) reissues, the latest from Perlon (dance music label in Berlin), the Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, or other left-field music. Bent Crayon is mostly vinyl but also has a solid selection of CDs. Fair warning: The corner shelves of experimental music are alphabetized but the rest of the store follows a mysterious organizational logic. In other words, you have to dig, not scan. I bought reissues of Stingray's Aqua Team 2, Drexciya's Harnessed the Storm, and Cluster's Zuckerzeit (Cluster was an electronic music duo from Germany who worked a bunch with Brian Eno). Bent Crayon is not for everyone, but it's still pretty rad.

When I walked in, the cashier told me that the record shop was upstairs. When I went up there, I was able to see the variety of music pieces available for sale. The value appeared to be great but I haven't purchased a record in a while, so my thoughts could be skewed there. But I loved the record I purchased (Aaliyah) so it was well worth my money! Parking can be a little hectic there. But there is a parking garage (you have pay for it) at the next building over on the same block.
