Nexus Records — Local services in New York

This place is pretty lame. The actual establishment was nice, clean, and organized but the selection was poor to say the least. Most of the music available is from lame bands you'll never hear from because they're not mainstream. If that's your thing then you're in luck because that's mostly all you'll find. Moreover the staff wasn't particularly rude but not exactly inviting either. I went there once (first and last time) a few months back and when I walked in the place was empty. I was literally the only customer there and it was dead silent. When I walked in I wasn't greeted which is not a big deal except that the place is small so its a tad awkward to walk into a quiet room and for the staff to pretend not to notice you. I've gone into more welcoming shops where a hello was customary when eye contact was made. Lastly the two staff members working that night were a bit weird to say the least. One of them was wearing a slew of miniature pacifier necklaces and had a disheveled appearance about him which is not only uninviting but embarrassing. Who leaves the house like that? Seems unprofessional to dress in such a manner for work even if you do in fact work at a record store. There's far better record shops in the area with better selection and better staffing. Sorry to be harsh but I don't exactly live in close proximity of this shop and made the trip based on the reviews and I was sorely disappointed. I can only imagine some of the previous reviews we're left by employees because the shop is far too small for any type of performance except maybe a solo act on a harmonica and it's no where near the best record store in the city. Not by a loooooonng shot. Spend your...

Absolutely love this store, they’ve got a great selection and a very cool staff team. The owner is awesome, very friendly and fun to talk to about music. He’s pretty knowledgeable about more obscure bands, which is pretty much a requirement given their selection. I have found so many gems whenever I visited, and they had a pretty amazing showcase when they came to TV Eye for the Metal Merchants Market. I spent so much, I’m too ashamed to say the total amount hahaha. I can say though that I found Weakling - Dead as Dreams on cassette when they were at TV Eye, for a great price no less. I thought I’d never see a copy in person, for this alone they deserve 5 stars. Support...

liked this place a lot. i went here to check out cassette tapes. i was worried it would be a collector type store with everything being expensive but it was mostly weird new releases by small bands, some of them only running you a few dollars (at least with the stuff i was looking for). also a very large selection for a smaller place. also, despite being a place that could be filled with a bunch of elitist jerks, the staff was generous with their time with not just finding things but also about where to find more concerts in the area based on what i...
