Eastside Records & Music & Videos

Eastside Records located on the Danforth is an unassuming little entertainment store. With around 250 – 300 square feet of space this little shop packs a music punch. Selection of used vinyl is fairly limited. There is a decent well priced miscellany of classic rock, R & B, country/​folk and a teeny tiny alt punk section. I picked up some Zeppelin and the Clash. The shop keep was very knowledgeable. He was able to rap off all of the tracks on Zeppelin II off the top of his head. I find that sort of sharpness refreshing. There was a mixed bag of movies available for sale. There is something about used DVDs that I find depressing. Kinda like that ikea lamp commercial where you feel sorry for the lamp that was thrown away and the Swedish guy makes fun of you. Ya, I feel just like that. Someone watched the movie and did not feel the need to keep it in their collection. Or on a more negative note, that they needed to sell off their sh&t to make ends meat. Eastside Records is the farthest east you will find me in Toronto…
