Alrighty, here's the deal. I'm going through a vinyl obessesion these days and I wanted to have hard copies of some of my favourite artists. I've been trying this one site called insound.com for all my indie band needs however a lot of the music is either too expensive, or takes too long to ship (a month and a half for 4 records...booooo!)

So I was wondering if anybody around here shops for vinyl and could offer my a could site. restrictions are that I can only order from north america, preferably canada, close to ontario.

Here's some of the artists I'm looking for and their albums:

Stars: Set yourself on Fire, and, In our Bedroom after the War
Tokyo Police Club: Lesson in Crime
Michael Franti and Spearhead
VHS Or Beta: Bring on the Comets
Arcade Fire: Neon Bible
Final Fantasy: He poos clouds, and, Has a good Home
Do Make Say Think: You're a history in the rust
Go Team: Proof of Youth
Ladyhawke
Passion Pit
Simian Mobile Disco
Justice
Crystal Castles
Cloud Cult: Feel Good Ghosts
Belle Orchestra
................................................................


phew that took a while, ahem.

Yes, if anyone could help me out, I would be super, super thankful!

thanks in advance

Stefan

OK. Here's my advice.

How far are you from Toronto? If making the trip would be a major undertaking, I would recommend you pick a time period in the year somewhere to make this trip. I could almost bet money that you'd find exactly what you're looking for on Yonge Street in Toronto (the alt-shopping district). I've been to a lot of places, but never to a place where the specialty shops seemed to stretch on for miles. Visit some vinyl shops in Toronto and you're bound to complete your entire collection in one trip.

thank you very much for the reply!
I didn't think I would have gotten a response to a question like that :)

I should have mentioned that I am going on a school trip to chicago at the end of may, and I heard there was a virgin mega store there. Do you think they would be able to help me complete my collection as well? or are they a CD only place.

again, thank you so much!
