For those of you who still enjoy buying music in physical form?we're talking vinyl and CDs?the indie music warehouse of Insound is here for you for the holidays. Yesterday evening, their Insound Design Store pop up shop opened its doors at 303 Grand Street in Williamsburg, and they'll call the location home until Monday, December 21.

Still, they don't mean to distract from the neighborhood's other indie music stores, and thus the "design" part of the store name; they'll focus only on selling "products that express the very best product design and quality applied to a love of music." Supposedly this means the rarest and most expensive items from their stock, including "silk-screened, limited edition posters, t-shirts, deluxe LP box sets, art books about music, turntables and unusual audio gear and music gifts."

We plan on heading there tonight, since the place is only open from 4pm to 10pm. To get you into the shopping mood, they'll also have DJs providing a soundtrack to your retail browsing. Thanks to BrooklynVegan, here's the lineup:
