I work at Twisted Village, the independant record store that's located right
around the corner from where Other Music was. I didn't know about Other
moving out until yesterday afternoon, when people came into the store
telling me to go look at the note that the Other folks left on their door...
something along the lines of "We couldn't compete with the internet...
please visit us at www.othermusic.com!". Apparantly, Other moved out on
Sunday night after "closing for inventory" on Sunday. Weird.
Boston might not have been the best choice of a second Other location,
anyway, since this city already has tons and tons of established independant
record stores. For experimental music and psych, Twisted Village is
literally right around the corner. For indie-rock and techno-related stuff,
Newbury Comics is around the other corner. For used stuff, you can't throw a
stone in Harvard Square without hitting a used CD shop. Maybe they'll think
about opening a store in Chicago? Or LA? I'll bet they'd do great there.
Well, for those of you looking for IDM and related electronic music in the
Boston/Cambridge area, come into Twisted Village and talk to Angela or Wayne
(Wayne is out of town now, but will return at the end of the month). You can
write to them at sistersunshine@twistedvillage.com. They'll be happy to
order stuff for you. If Forced Exposure carries it, they can definitely get
it in.
