Beacon Sound

3636 N Mississippi Ave., wearebeaconsound.com. Closed Wednesday.

A record label and shop, performance space and all-around rad joint, Beacon Sound can remind you of your most creative friend—the friend who always has some sort of artistic hustle going. Charming and in it for all the right reasons, both the label and the shop traffic in unique, often limited-edition releases that almost always sell out. (Note: Beacon Sound moves to Southeast 22nd and East Burnside in September.)
