And all independent record stores who continue to fight the battle, despite the challenges in an ever evolving music industry. It's a lot of work to keep me in shape and not much money in it, but my owners tell me they love what they do. Ah shucks. I feel loved. (Blush)
I am San Diego's finest independent record store, brought to life in Dec. of 2001 and going strong ever since. I have won "Best Record Store in San Diego" honors from www.signonsandiego.com, 944 Magazine, San Diego Magazine, and San Diego City Beat, some several times in my short existence. This is all well and good you might say, but what the hell do you sell? Great question. I knew you were a smart one the minute you layed your hands on that keyboard.
I carry lot's of CDs in most every genre. My owners LOVE VINYL, so I have a ton of new and used LPs and 7"s too. You won't find a better selection in town for the cool stuff you really want. And I even carry music DVDs as well.
I am located in Mission Hills at 915 W Washington Street. Just up the hill from Gelato Vero Cafe off I-5, a block west from the Lamplighter bar. The phone number is 619-220-0485.
Bands from all over the world come on by and say hi. They often bring their instruments and play in-stores. They're free and lots of people come for them. In my short existence, I've had over a couple hundred bands come and play. Some of those acts include Spiritualized, Mike Watt, Nada Surf, Adam Franklin (Swervedriver), Rob Dickinson (Catherine Wheel), Mark Gardener (Ride), Cave-In, Hard-Fi, Moby, David J (Bauhaus), Mondo Generator (Queens of the Stone Age), Steve Turner (Mudhoney), Switchfoot, Dead Meadow, Drunk Horse, Sahara Hotnights, Broken Social Scene, the Stills, Stars, No. 2 (ex-Heatmiser), Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven, Bad Wizard, Louis XIV, JamisonParker, Honorary Title, Earlimart, Joseph Arthur, Eisley, Longwave, the Thrills, West Indian Girl, Sleepy Jackson, Alien Crime Syndicate, Visqueen, John Vanderslice, Jealous Sound, Album Leaf, a ton of amazing local bands, and lots more touring acts.
M-THEORY IS ALWAYS BUYING YOUR USED CDS, LPS, AND DVDS AND PAY TOP DOLLAR FOR THEM. SO BRING 'EM IN AND GET CASH OR EVEN MORE IN TRADE!!
The Black Lips played at the store...here's a lil' clip!
One of our favorite bands, Album Leaf, had part of their latest video filmed at our store. Check it out!

Who I'd like to meet: YOU! Come on by and I'll turn you on. Um, to all the great music I have to offer that is. I've got a knack for knowing what great tunes the mainstream world doesn't yet know about and can't wait to share them with you. So, forget quiet walks on the beach. Let's get some tunes and crank it up.
