UMEÅ

the very centre of jazz in the north, the very centre of HC in Scandinavia with an amazing jazzclub and jazzfest ( last weekend of cotober ), ROCKIN rockclub at Scharinska and other related activities!

always good vinylactivities and these days 4 shops worth visiting:

HIGH FLYING RECORDS

this is a NEW shop that popped up…. and it is brutally good.

psych, jazz, punk, hard core and all related. lots of 7 inches… and 12 inches…. and…..

and it is all in old school- nostalgic yellow “ölbackar”( beer crates ) – like it should be!!!

the owner, magnus, is very knowledgable and helpful!

the walls are filled w goodies and there is shitloads in the store…

this is one of the better shops in scandinavia for 2nd hand vinyls – for SURE!

sharing space with a high end store

LYD hi Fi store. also worth a trip in itself!
