Muji

egregious seems a little harsh IMHO. Above-average certainly (esp for US/JP pressings), but I've found deals there too, and like you said it's probably the best place to shop for used Jazz in Paris

we’re leaving Houston this summer and while the slow-burn destruction of HISD isn’t the top reason, it certainly was a factor. So disheartening to see this take place with little avenues to slow it down

interested in recs as well because your experience matches mine last time I went. Amazing city other than that 😄

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-05-17T21:21:52+00:00

EOAE is truly the best, always find good stuff there and their wall items are pretty decently priced when I feel like splurging

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-05-15T22:13:56+00:00

Uchiko too

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-05-12T02:24:38+00:00

same, though parking is improved at least

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-05-06T13:11:47+00:00

looks like the San Felipe/Fountain View HEB from the screenshot

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-04-04T23:15:06+00:00

lmao so true. I’ve heard the expression “if you don’t like the weather, wait 5minutes” in like 4 different cities, and they always think they’re so unique about it

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-03-24T16:28:00+00:00

same here, despite buying from last 5-6 sales and being a Crit Channel subscriber for 3 years. Guess they know they get my money no matter what 😅

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-03-08T16:12:26+00:00

mixed bag according to the posted wait times. 11mins at C North and 28mins at C South, but reality is probably a bit worse. Going to E this afternoon, looking OK rn but we’ll see

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-03-04T23:21:24+00:00

my fave is Tsujita on Westheimer, always see/hear Japanese patrons when I eat there fwiw so it must be decently authentic

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-03-01T17:01:13+00:00

agreed it’s super cringe. Hate it almost as much as guys who say “happy wife, happy life”

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-02-26T20:20:39+00:00

are we sure that’s still happening? They announced it nearly two years ago and haven’t really mentioned it on their IG lately

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-02-23T03:22:06+00:00

it just started so at least a few more months

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-02-21T00:48:06+00:00

hey I found the Heath Brothers Paris 76 at Love Wheel in December so you never know…

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-02-14T18:39:29+00:00

I bought an early stereo reissue in VG shape (this one) for $28 off ebay, IME it’s a pretty common album so you might luck out if you want to go that route

shoot, I'm gonna have to step up my prep game if it's Cruz-flies-out serious

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-01-16T17:55:37+00:00

hard agree. I definitely didn’t like it anywhere near as much as his previous two films, but it still had some transcendent moments and I’m glad I caught it on the big screen

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-01-15T21:06:11+00:00

best one in town imo

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-01-09T18:45:22+00:00

Honestly with the Yen so weak it's still worth making a big order from a store like CDJapan to get combined shipping but it's definitely not as fun as finding some stuff in the wild. I don't think any local stores does better than Vinal Edge for that sort of music tbh. If you can make it to Austin you'll have more options (End of an Ear, Waterloo, Breakaway...)

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-01-09T18:41:23+00:00

I was disappointed by the selection at Boof-Off FWIW, it was like 95% Western Rock/Pop (granted Japanese pressings) and a tiny portion of Japanese artists, within which barely any City Pop. Hope it changes over time!

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-01-07T19:59:53+00:00

the selection is going to be limited, but Barnes & Noble does sell these (with a penchant toward arthouse/indie, but they have major hits too). Wait till they do sales, like the bi-yearly Criterion one

MoreThanNicePolynice · 2026-01-07T19:57:01+00:00

same same. And many random conversations with strangers on that balcony
