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?

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.

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.

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

Nicole, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 14:16 (twelve years ago) link

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

Clarke B., Tuesday, 21 February 2012 14:43 (twelve years ago) link

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

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 19:25 (twelve years ago) link

Would be wicked if you could post the PDFs, James. If only to look at the albums you selected.

Moka, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 19:30 (twelve years ago) link

Would be five stars, but the t-shirts all seem to be for small children.
