It's nextdoor to a blondie's too :-)
it has a great selection of Live 105 style 'modern rock' (including
stuff like Portishead or the Inspirals) and a mediocre selection of
iDm (capitalization intended).
They pay the best for used CD's of any place I've ever been; consider
them if you're like me and like to recycle old discs.

Tweekin is great (it's on Haight between Fillmore and Steiner). Star
Alley is also cool (it's in an alley called Linden, roughly at Gough
between Hayes and Fell). BPM is also a must-visit, it's on Polk.
They probably have the most cutting-edge bang for the buck. Of all of
them, Star Alley is probably the one I go to most.
Check the sfraves calendar for cool weekly events.
As far as clubs go, IMHO Noc Noc is the coolest bar I've ever been to.
It's a few doors down from Tweekin records.
For radio stations, the ultra-commercial Live 105 (fm 105.3) plays
good music occasionally (probably half the bands mentioned on this
list have been played there at one time or another). The local
colleges have good radio shows but I'm not too familiar with them (I
only listen to radio during the commute so I get to choose between
Alex Bennett and Howard Stern for most of my radio enjoyment :-)
