Village Records is a hidden gem in the heart of Roscoe Village—a small shop with a wide selection of records, CDs, posters and “stuff,” all for low prices. Wil, the owner, has a reputation for his quick wit and vast knowledge of music, making loyal customers out of patrons on their first visit. Known for its obscure selection of music and films, this store can help you find that offbeat album or DVD you can’t seem to get ahold of anywhere else. Swing by to have a chat with the staff and indulge your bizarre side as you discover treasures from across the genre map. (Jenzo DuQue)
