The #1 music store in the Northwest. Capisce. Locally owned. Special order? No problem. Extensive used selection. Great inventory of box sets and special releases. Staff is knowledgeable on all music genres. Please bring back Black Happy and Melafluent CDA.

One of the coolest independent music stores that I’ve ever been in. The staff greets you when you walk through the door. If you have a question, usually the knowledgeable staff can answer it or point you in the right direction. They have a huge music selection and if they don’t have it, they will order it for you. If you do purchase something you are entered into their weekly drawings for your chance to win some of that money you spent there back. Also, if you sign up on their email list you may occasionally get notified of special deals or events that are going on.

I don’t buy music anywhere else. Period. The Long Ear has been my favorite place to shop for new tunes for years now, and is just one of the coolest stores to browse. The two guys I see in there most often are really nice, have great recommendations and make you feel welcome. Whenever I’m questioning a new band, new album, etc, I can ask someone in there for an opinion, and I’ve never been steered in the wrong direction. They also sell music for independent musicians, which is rare. On their wall of CD’s to sample, you’ll see at least half a dozen local artists. This place also has a good selection of posters, other music memorabilia, incense, assorted decorations and knick-knacks. Great prices, all new releases sell for around $ 3 – 4 off for the first two weeks. If you want to casually stick it to the man, then stop going to Wal-Mart for your music, and start shopping at the Long Ear.
