i'll let you in on my little local secret...
rhino on westwood blvd (just north of santa monica) sometimes gets a good
trickle of some decent IDM and related stuff...and can certainly special
order...
the trick is to not go there and be looking for something in particular, but
to just be open to what you might find. they also have excellent world,
jazz, indie rock and oddities so you might get something you never bargained
for.
for example, i went and traded some cds the other day and left with the
following:
in order to dance vol. 6 - drum-n-bass (r+s) (on wax)
herbert - 100 lbs (phono)
genius/gza - liquid swords
and hermann/hitchcock - partnership in terror (prague philharmonic doing
all the hitchcock greats, from marnie to psycho)
if you end up going up to sf, visit open mind on divisadero -- the buyer
from aron's is now there so you'll feel like you're in old-school aron's
heaven. :)
