Richard Goodall Underground Shop

There’s some innate humor in the pairing of the name “Richard Goodall” and the word “Underground.” I don’t mean this snarkily; I mean this from the same perspective that seemingly drove the online shop’s font choice (Don’t you think we should make it feel a little more gangsta?). However, there is nothing innately humorous about the shop (slash gallery; Richard Goodall Underground and Richard Goodall Contemporary are two of the UK’s leading art spaces), which, to my shock and bliss, stocks about a 18,000 posters, art toys, skate decks, books, magazines, tee shirts, and everything else. That number is slightly salted with exaggeration — but in my defense — what use is reality when reality is 1,742 posters? Aside from representing many of today’s best underground talent, the shop is the only place I’ve ever found five Kings of Leon concert posters at once — including one from their December of 2003 show with Ben Kweller (signed by the artist, Dennis Loren/selling for five pounds/beautiful). It’s sort of like Wal-Mart, except filled with tons of glorious magic instead of ex-Disney Channel-ers Christmas albums. I feel lame for not knowing about this sooner (that’s my disclaimer, sassy readers), so save yourself the same fate and scope the grounds before your friends do.
