Rotate This

Rotate This is still the Ossington vinyl temple — 186 Ossington Avenue, a block and a half south of Dundas, west side — even though rotate.com itself is now a parked domain and no longer the shop's official site. The room is the same no-gimmick crate-dig: new indie and used bins in the back, concert tickets at the counter, no CDs, no classical, no country. Phone (416) 504-8447. Hours last posted on the old official about page: Sunday–Wednesday 12 p.m.–6 p.m., Thursday–Friday 11 a.m.–7 p.m., Saturday 12 p.m.–6 p.m. Confirm before a Saturday morning trip. First-timers: front wall for new arrivals, back room for the alphabetized used dig, and ask about physical tickets before you pay Ticketmaster. Weekday afternoons are calmer. This is a pure vinyl shop — do not come for CDs.
