 The Marvelous
208 S. 40 St.
Monday – Thursday 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
Friday – Saturday: 10 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Sunday: 12 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Tucked into a basement among a row of restaurants and shops on the western fringe of the University of Pennsylvania’s campus, The Marvelous is underground in both senses of the word. The store’s main business is in used vinyl and CDs, with a selection that includes indie, punk, ‘80s pop, reggae, jazz and country, all between $2 and $20. The Marvelous also houses a smaller section of new indie and electronic CDs at $14. In addition to music, the shop sells comic books and instrument supplies and holds in-store guitar, bass, and violin lessons. – Frances Wright
 Repo Records
538 South St.
Monday – Thursday, Sunday: 12 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Friday – Saturday: 11 a.m. – 11 p.m.
In the historic South Street district, Repo Records sits beside Retrospect, one of the premier vintage clothing stores in the city. With a large collection of domestic and imported vinyls and CDs, ranging in genre from punk and indie to electronic and dance, Repo Records stands out among Philadelphia record shops. While at first the shop seems rather small, the vast selection of music, from the ground floor to the basement, will keep you there for hours. The super-friendly staff is always willing to make a recommendation or order music you can’t find in the store. – Ashley Bradley

We Are Scientists talk music, chocolate chip bagels
Before their performance at the Orpheum Theatre last Thursday, I got a chance to talk with Keith Murray, lead singer and guitarist of the duo, We Are Scientists, who are on tour with The Whigs and Kings of Leon. At a Finagle A Bagel around the corner of the Theater, Murray talked about a potential new addition to the band, explained the difficulties of playing a Halloween gig dressed as a ghost and shed some light on the “science” of the chocolate chip bagel just in time to catch The Whigs –– his new favorite band –– open the show.
