Hot take
Music Millennium stands as Portland's premier independent record store since 1969, offering one of the largest collections of new and used vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and DVD/Blu-rays. This beloved institution has maintained its relevance for over 50 years despite drastic changes to the city and music industry, refusing to turn its back on Portland's music scene. With an impressive catalog that often outsells new releases, Music Millennium caters to vinyl enthusiasts of all ages, hosting in-store signings and performances that enrich the local music community. They've cultivated a reputation for keeping Portland weird while providing a comprehensive and well-curated selection that spans genres from classic rock to hip-hop to jazz.
