As I'm sure one Mr. Parry will attest, LA record shopping is hit-and-miss, but depending on what you like, there are some cool places. aron's -- you need to get there on shipping days (wed/thurs) before everyone has picked through it and there's nothing left. hunting in the bargain bins there can yield pure gold. mr. parry (hereafter referred to as "the bastard" :) found a mint vinyl copy of coldcut's first album for 99 cents. (arghhhh!!!) record surplus on pico and barrington is where i lived out my early '80s fantasies for free (good payback on trading in crap cds) -- lots of cool old vinyl for 99 cents or 1.85 for classic double albums... house music -- go to prime cuts and dmc and you're fine. anything else ... i think something that's key for los angeles-area enthusiasts of idm is to ask for stuff at almost any of the stores... special ordering is frequent and common...hey, befriend a buyer and you'll be all set. i realize this doesn't work for out-of-town visitors to our beautifully violent cit, but hey -- either call ahead and special order :) or just come to seek out some old forgotten gems. what would now be on if my roommate wasn't asleep: jean michel jarre's "oxygene" (see what i mean?) ____ Hug Your Waistline to the Bassline Tamara Palmer trance@netcom.com http://www.interverse.com/~tamara/righting.html Women Respond to Bass
