for IDM type stuff STRANGE? is your best bet. it's on 9th street and Avenue
A. the owner's name is Colin. he's very nice and helpful on a good day. a
lot of the "DJ owned" rekkid sto's (satellite, sonic groove, liquid sky)
tend to have an intimidating/pretentious atmosphere. not good for your
folks. Strange? specializes in IDM type music. he has lots of CD's and some
vinyl. REBEL REBEL is also a very good untapped resource. very parent
friendly. Also THROB on 14th and 3rd Avenue.
i live in the east village, and while i do go to Liquid Sky and Satellite i
tend to spend more time (and money) at the above stores. they're not as
"trendy or cool" but because they're not as crowded they usually have what
i want, and i like the people who work at these stores.
