Go On, Give It a Spin

Vacation Opens

Vacation is is is … Vacation is is is… Vaca-ca-ca …

Hey, you’re beginning to sound like a broken record.

Get your fix at Vacation. The newly opened music store in Los Feliz has the vinyl you’re after and then some.

Manned by the comic geniuses behind Secret Headquarters in collabo with neighboring Hydrahead Records, the shop is a return to the local record store, stocking well-curated stacks of harder-to-find albums, a smattering of books by or about musicians, and a few players along with essential equipment for the home listener.

What you won’t find in the clean and simple wood-countered and Battleship green-walled space are blaring promo posters; snotty music know-it-alls (well, we can vouch for the staff); or Kenny, Warren, or any other G’s greatest hits.

Though, you should know that they’re taking requests.

Vacation, 4679 Hollywood Boulevard, between Vermont Avenue and Rodney Drive, Los Feliz (323-666-2111 or vacationvinyl.com).
