Big ups to the 611 crew. If you're looking for microhouse or
something like, either talk to Sean or go through his picks. You'll
also find neat stuff like Apparat and Akufen buried in there.
Also:
Cue Records, which is 2 doors south of 611. The selection is pretty
scattered, but if you're willing to dig through piles of absolutely
horrible vocal house records, some real gems can be found. That's
where I got my copy of Space, dalek versus Velma, and a few other
lovely chunks of wax.
Spaceboy. On south street, a few blocks west of 611, on the south
side of the street. I don't remember the cross street, but hey,
whatever.
Not much in the way of dance music, but it's the only place I've been
able to find Crime in Choir, Laibach, The Pixies, and Alec Empire
versus Elvis Presley, all in one place, all on record. Warning: you
will have to deal with emo kids, but at least the employees are
really cool.
Digital Ferret. 5th and south, across from Johnny Rockets, and north
a bit. More for the stompystomp oontzoontz graver crowd, but they
have an INCREDIBLE selection of cd's, and I found Geogaddi on record
there before anywhere else in the city even had it on CD. They have
a somewhat small record selection, but they are guaranteed to have
things that you absolutely will not find anywhere else in this city.
If you're one of those pretentious bastards that thinks everything on
the Hands label is gold, this is where you want to shop. Plus, the
owner has fangs.
Additionally, there are a LOT of used record stores lurking about of
of south street, so if you're looking for a copy of Space Oddity for
$2 or so, walk up and down the side streets between 3rd and 7th,
you'll probably find it.
There are also a few places in old city (north of market street,
somewhere between front and third) that have names I can't remember
that are worth checking out, but being that I live a few blocks south
of all of the aforementioned places, and the public transportation
here is akin to a football bat, I don't get up to old city often,
unless it's to dj or get drunk with jersey trash. (no offense, cross-
river folks.)
