The Record Ship
A quietly opened, family-run indie shop run by longtime Wichita musician Les Easterby (The Wichita Flag, The World Palestine), with crates weighted toward new wave, punk, and experimental alongside rock and jazz. It buys, sells, and trades vinyl, tapes, and CDs, and barely registers on the usual lists despite being a local musician's curated haven.
The move: Take turns pulling each other obscure punk and new-wave records to flip through, then walk a block to hunt the Douglas Design District murals with whatever you bought.
