Whether you’re looking to find a new album or to start your own collection these five record stores are the place to go. It’s time to dust off your turntables and turn the volume as high as it can go. But of course they also CDs if that’s more your style.

1. Vintage Vinyl

Open since 1979, Vintage Vinyl has not only been selling music to the masses but they have been inviting musicians to perform on their stage. With a large selection of vinyl and CDs, you will always leave with something new to listen to. All you have to do is walk through their white stands to see pictures of every musician that has played there. This includes bands like Jimmy Eat World, My Chemical Romance, Nick Jonas, Modern Baseball and Ozzy Osbourne.

51 Lafayette Road, Fords, NJ, 08863

2. Spina Records

At first glance Spina Records seems to be any old house, that is until you see the bins of vinyl records on the table out front and hear the hand-picked music playing. Not only does Spina Records sell used vinyl records for inexpensive prices, they also have cassette tapes, turntables, and a variety of vintage antiques and decor available.

118 Easton Ave, New Brunswick, NJ, 08901

3. Princeton Record Exchange

The Princeton Record Exchange is one of the largest record stores and has been around since 1980. Other than the usual vinyl records and CDs they also sell DVDs and keep an inventory of over 100,000 titles, both new and used. If you ever manage to listen to everything from Vintage Vinyl the Princeton Record Exchange should be your next adventure.

20 South Tulane Street, Princeton, NJ, 08542

4. Revilla Grooves & Gear

If you're looking for that one obscure record, go to Revilla Grooves and Gear. They sell mostly used vinyl, turntables and all things vintage. Once a worker at the Princeton Record Exchange, owner Darren Revilla is always eager to check out your collection and price it fairly. Plus they offer repair services for vintage turntables and speakers through The Turntable Doctor.

38 North Main Street, Milltown, NJ, 08850

5. Groovy Graveyard

For those interested in collectible memorabilia from 70s horror to 50s sci-fi, the Groovy Graveyard is your place. They might not be home to strictly vintage records but they still have a hearty vinyl collection. While this shop may be small it is filled from top to bottom, when you visit be ready to rummage.

658 Cookman Avenue, Asbury Park, NJ, 07712

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
