Sonic Boom Records
Sonic Boom records, also located in the Ballard area of Seattle, is pretty much the equivalent of Amoeba records, just smaller. New releases all over the place, great selections, a cool used section with decently priced quality records, and a large dollar bin section. They even had a cool 45's section, which was well organized (alphabetically) in wood boxes, and even had a "Sale 45's" bin, in which I surprisingly found some quality joints. I spent most of my time shuffling through some $2.99 records. Ended up scooping up a Willie Hutch "The Mack" soundtrack, Pharoahe Monch "Internal Affairs" Instrumental LP, Butterfield Blues Band "Keep on Moving" LP, Budos Band "Up From The South" 45, John Holt "For The Love of You" 45, Santana's S/T LP, Rasco "The Unassisted" 12", and Souls of Mischief "Rock It Like That" 12". Even found some cool, locally made, buttons that were called "Music Dictionary buttons." Each button had what looked like a page torn out of a dictonary, with terms like "phonograph" or "record" on them. Had to support the local artist, whose name is Dawn Tyler. You can find her on Facebook, but if anyone knows Dawn, please send her a BIG UP for me.
