I made a little tiny record store and I'm boasting about it

oh that's awesome

u should make a tiny little computer with soulseek on it

dude this is so great!

Easily the best thing I've seen all day and for quite some time. Good work, thanks for sharing.

If those are supposed to be real t-shirts the scale is only big enough for a child.

That's why they're still in stock. Kids don't frequent 2nd-hand vinyl shops. That's my excuse, anyway

lol it wouldn't be ilx without someone to nitpick/get pedantic about someone's carefully crafted artwork

love the speakers on the wall in the 3rd pic

James you should also consider photographing the store using the tilt-shift technique

LOVE THIS!!!!

To make it look even smaller? Idgi

Amazing, amazing, amazing.

holy hell man

This is just the best.

Those little records remind me of this old friend who built model semi-trucks, and for display purposes he put photo-reduced copies of Playboy and Penthouse in the sleeper cabs.

can you make a little Scott to sit behind the counter?

adorable

lol don't get me wrong I think the whole thing is really cool!
I just don't know... the ratio t-shirt / vinyl was irking me and even the way they're positioned. I think it would look better if the walls were filled with more convert posters rather than xxxs t-shirts.

*concert posters not convert. Did a google search for convert rock posters out of curiosity and this came out:

Gotta pop up out of lurker deep-freeze to chime in on how cool this is. Well done, dude.

Is that Chronic Town down one and to the left of Screamadelica?

― Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom)

Looks like Coltrane's Blue Train!

Argh, so it is, sorry--peering at my own tiny photos and not seeing them very well.

so great, made my day! thanks for sharing, JM. like abbbs, i'm thinking of making one of my own...

pah-fffft @ shirt complaints

holy shit, this is fantastic

you need some figurines, like a balding 30something dude browsing the krautrock section and some skatepunks looking through the dollar bin.

p.s. this is amazing. you are a hero. this is the first thing to make me really happy in a few days.

also: a listening station!

HELLZ YEAH

do i spy the pretty toney album?

If people are interested, I can post the PDFs from which to make this somewhere. I designed it all in Indesign, and all the bits print out onto 3 or 4 A4 pages of card, from memory.

Absolutely amazing.

this is stupendous!!!!!

This rules

You know, pre-internet days, I'm sure a lot more of this kind of thing would be going on.

this is fantastic.

someone needs to tell the production team of blue peter about this.

this is ace!

Amazing--like Being John Malkovich, but much better.

physibles or

no or. Just that. Not sure it will catch on.

This is so cool, I wish I had one.

It would really take the awesomeness of the photos to enormous proportions to have tiny animals inside the shop browsing around...

Wonder if any of the customers can be found on this thread.

That's great, well done.

I like this thing muchly.

i heard James's store is getting in some pretty cool limited edition 1"s for Tiny Record Store Minute

this is great! can I special order some records? would like Small Faces, Little Feat, and Tiny Tim please.

Staff Favorites:
1. "Tiny Dancer" - Elton John
2. "Tiny Steps" - Elvis Costello
2. "Tiny Bubbles" - Don Ho

i hope my favorite Steve Martin album is on display in the comedy section

This is Great!! reminds me of when I was a kid and made finger boards and a skate park.

Cory Doctorow just posted this on BoingBoing.
