Description: Paradise Records is a fictional record store located in the high-desert city of Bend, in Central Oregon, that is the primary location in the 2025 slacker film of the same name.

He’s facing foreclosure, the bank won’t give him a loan, someone keeps offering to buy the property — and then there's the robbery and hostage situation. All told, he’s really not having a great day. Thankfully, he’s got his employees and a lot of weed to help him work through things.
Description: Founded in 1980, quintessential New York City label, 99 Records (pronounced “nine-nine,” not “ninety-nine”), was among the most influential independent labels of its time, with an influence still reverberates today. The label’s sound was every bit as distinct and as it was diverse, touching on post-punk, disco, dub reggae and even avant-classical, highlighted by exhilarating experiments in minimalist art-funk, and polyrhythmic grooves. Despite being a shoestring operation run out of a record store, 99 sold an unbelievable number of records with minimal distribution, and was at one point the most successful indie label in New York City.
Description: A long time establishment in NYC's Bushwick neighborhood, Northern Lights Records is as renowned for their extensive selection of used vinyl. Buying and selling records 7 days a week from their somewhat hard to find Lawton St. location, Northern Lights was a true 'it spot' for collectors of rare albums and deep cuts since the early '90s.
