I so appreciate that small sector of society who refuses to let vinyl slip away. Some bands just sound better with a little snap, crackle, and pop. And the cover art is so much more impressive.
Jive Time has pretty knowledgeable staff without the record collector 'tude. (C'mon - I know you've seen Hi Fidelity, and yes - most record geeks are really like that.)
If they don't have what you're looking for - they can usually point you in the right direction.

I play the violin and my sound post once fell off and I had no idea what to do. A friend recommended going to Bischofberger Violins and I found the location after some searching. The owner quickly fixed the sound post and handed my violin back to me, all within 10 minutes. He didn't even charge for the service. A wonderful place to go to for quick, professional service on your stringed instrument. They also rent and sell instruments and strings and various accessories for stringed instruments.

And we're not talking symphony orchestra here...
The Croc is the place to catch indie acts of every stripe before they hit the big time and start playing the Showbox (next rung on the ladder), the Moore (yet another step up) or the Paramount (sellout city). (You and I both know that sports arenas don't even merit discussion as music venues, unless you're just going for the fireworks display).
Their bookings are consistently eclectic (from Jim Jennie and The Pinteops to Sigur Ros) and excellent (Camper van Beethoven and the Knitters were two of my favorite shows in the past year, but there were really too many to count). The beer is cheap, the floors are sticky and the whole place has that funky smell that can only come from a tightly-packed room of sweaty rock fans.
If you love music and want to catch your favorite band up close and personal, the Croc is the place to be.

From the owner: we recently started selling new titles of vinyl - and the people have responded! Vinyl is on the rise! We specialize in independent music & movies, however we try to carry every title out there. We mostly sell used product, but when it's a super popular title, we carry it new. We have a huge $5 used dvd section that we replenish daily - we sell the heck out of that section! We have a huge selection of foreign and GLBT movies. We can order you anything! Come on in and visit us!!

Capitol Music in downtown is a wonderful music store. THey carry a good selection of sheet music, from classical to pop to band and choir. There are rooms available to play through pieces before purchase, and if they don't have what you're looking for, the staff will help you to find it in a catalog or online and order it for you, with the option of shipping it to your address. They sell and rent instruments as well as supplies. I have been extremely happy with Capitol Music.

I took guitar from Brendan for three years and he is awesome. He was open minded about what I wanted to learn and also extremely patient. I highly recommend him to people of all ages.

For a great selection, and a purely funky experience, go to Bud's Jazz Records in Pioneer Square. You'll hear the music from the sidewalk. Just walk down the stairs off of S Jackson and enter the groove of Bud's. This store carries only the real thing - bebop, swing, etc. If you're looking for what they play on that smooth jazz station, forget it!

Croc. the bar is mellow and quiet. show room is small enough to be intimate, big enough to hold crowds for most shows. the stage is elevated so everyone can see what's going on. it's grungy and dirty, but not scary like the old graceland. it always sounds great. they serve food. the beers are good - and pretty cheap. and they consistently book the best local talent -- any given night you're bound to like some or all of the lineup.
For the record, Showbox is the worst venue in Seattle. always over-crowded, always sounds crappy, always full of drunken uw packs, always grumpy bouncers, horrible restroom locations, never able to see anything on the stage b/c the floor isn't angled enough. i have banned the showbox for life (except for the calexico show this summer, for which i was forced to make a single exception because i expect the crowd will all be courteous and over 25).
