COALITION OF INDEPENDENT MUSIC STORES

10.22.08 Hi everyone, We would like to announce FOUR new accounts that are joining the CIMS roster in November. We are stoked to have them. They rock! Indy CD and Vinyl http://www.indycdandvinyl.com/ Located in the Indianapolis' hip Broad Ripple district, Indy CD is an elegant and wonderful record emporium -- well-stocked with featuring a diverse selection of music, movies, and books. It's also filled to the brim with good vibes. Maybe that comes from Rick's training as a psychologist, but more than likely its parcel to his excellent staff, wonderfully curated listening stations, and the play area where parents in the mood to dig can drop of their little ones and let them draw to their heart's content. Just thinking about the place makes me grin. A great find. Finder's Records http://www.findersrecords.com/ Tucked away in the beautiful college town of Bowling Green, OH, Finder's is a secret gem of the Midwest. Greg Halamay opened Finder's in 1971 when we was a mere nineteen years old and has survived floods and a slew of lesser competitors to remain the only game in town. Greg's store is a behemoth and every square foot of it is gracefully crammed with product -- and none of it's incense. When word got out about them joining our group reps from around the country rejoiced and sang his praises. You will too. CD Connection http://www.cdconnection.net/ Here at CIMS we can't resist the lure of a Southerner -- and Terry Dixon of Jacksonville, Florida's CD Connection is a charmer. CD Connection keeps the beach-dwelling locals stocked-up on Indie Rock, Hip Hop, Metal, Dance and Blues -- in fact, Terry organizes a local blues festival that brings out over 100,000 people each year. He also has a young, energetic staff who are so knowledgeable and engaged that it was impossible for me to leave without several of their recommendations (particularly Edan's "Beauty and The Beat"). It's been ten years since Terry left corporate America to let his inner music geek live out loud and he's still committed to upping his game. He's been a long-time admirer of many of our stores and, believe it or not, his daughter currently works at Music Millennium. Terry was "tickled pink" when we invited him join the group. We feel the same. Central Square Records http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=33 383919 Central Square Records (and it's sister company, Sundog Books) are located in Seaside, Florida -- the "wedding cake" shaped town where The Truman Show was filmed. Tom King, who runs Central Square, does most of his business during the summer months when vacationers -- include several bigwigs from Nashville -- descend upon Seaside. As a result the town is very music friendly and hosts great events all year long. Don and Reg have visited the store several times while vacationing and have been lobbying hard to bring them into the fold, so we're glad to have 'em aboard.
