A few days' ago I stopped into Music Matters. A friend had recommended it to me after describing their collection of metal vinyl as "insane". As one who cannot pass up on "insane" metal I decided to check it out and I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. The shop had a nice assortment of used cd's, vinyl and dvds as well as a few albums you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Hardly limited to metal, I walked away with a Jeff Buckley DVD set as well as an independent documentary, ironically entitled Need that Record! about the death of the independent music stores. The shop itself is small and comfortable and the owner couldn't have been cooler. Good vibes all around. I should say that there are two shops, one in Niagara Falls (527 Cayuga Dr) and one in North Tonawanda (248 Meadow Dr). I visited the NT location and it was a little tricky to find. If you're going to head out there, and I strongly suggest you do, look for a house. If you're a music junkie or are looking for a new place to vibe out on music, this is a good place to be.
Dude I work in that neck of the woods and have never seen it. Good looking out.
Nice review, but what he failed to mention is there is a lot of "new" product in the two stores, as well as used. The prices are great and they will go to lengths to help you find anything you might be looking for. Definitely check it out.
My bad! I thought I wrote in new and used cds, vinyl and dvds but must have slipped. Thanks for the correction! ~jon
