Slipped Disc Records (which went out of business in 2008) was a record store located in Valley Stream, New York, on Rockaway Avenue - owned/operated by Mr. Mike Schutzman - and was one of Long Island's longest running record stores. Specializing in heavy metal, punk, and hardcore CDs, records, DVDs, shirts, posters, pins, books, and other accessories, the store had also featured in-store autograph signing sessions with some of rock's biggest acts over the years. Recently, the store was featured in the documentary Get Thrashed, and an official website was launched for online shopping. Sip This (a chic coffee house) is now located where Slipped Disc Records used to be.
Famous quotes containing the words slipped, disc and/or records:
“Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings ...
And while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.”
—John Gillespie Magee (c. 1922–1941)
“This is D.J., Disc Jockey to American turning off. Vietnam, hot dam.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
