This dog is the South Campus home for alternative and urban music (and a little bit of everything else).

Changing Times
Singing Dog opened in 1980, and carried new and used vinyl albums. These days the selection features CDs and cassettes, but the idea is the same.

Buy, Sell, Trade
Singing Dog pays cash or gives store credit for CDs and cassettes. What kind? "Anything we can resell," according to manager Marty Cole. Just don't expect to get a lot of money for something lame--the staff knows what's up.

Just Ask
A couple of the guys who work there have been around for years and are a good source for information and opinion. (Being opinionated about music is a prerequisite for record store employment.) Zach knows a lot about avant-garde jazz, and if Marty doesn't know something "It's not worth knowing," he says.
