I know when certain clerks are working, so I can talk to Thrash Metal Kid about new crazy stuff from Finland or whatever. And LOL at Matos but the used section is pretty small compared to the thousands of "new" discs, and the inventory always includes stuff I never realized they had -- there's more Mingus reissues there than there are used copies of "Monster" ... and this is in a strip mall next to Pedro's on one side and the Video Game X-Change on the other. The one in Appleton is awesome too!</p> The Exclusive Company is truly excellent, and I can walk to one here in Madison and save a buck or two by paying cash.

I've found that if you see the ads late enough at night they really are kind of disturbing.</p> <p>I think also they are doing well because there are zero good new indy or small chain records stores in Upper Michigan. We root for the Packers up there and some folks try to get Wisconsin to annex us every few years so it would be no leap to swing by the Exclusive Company on the way to Lambeau Field for the preseason game/school clothes shopping expedition.</p> <p>Now, on the topic of backward areas, my brain cannot figure out how to do that @-sign plussy thing with people's names.

Now, on the topic of backward areas, my brain cannot figure out how to do that @-sign plussy thing with people’s names. Halp!

One of my best friends in college worked at the one in Madison. One cool thing about Exclusive is that they have an impressive classical and jazz section, if that's your thing - not what you would necessarily expect from your friendly neighborhood independent.</p> @Deadly Tango: Ha!

They also have perhaps the second-most annoying local television and radio commercials of all time (after Crazy Eddie’s), each one ending with the snappy tag line…

“Say it with me… the EXCLUSIIIIIIIIIIIVE Company.”
