It's hardly 1000, but it's pretty big anyway :)
And sorry to have neglected that you can listen to just about anything at
*both* stores. Including vinyl. To Phase's email, you're spot-on about the
alpha as being conducive to long bouts of fun sorting (and I do that quite
often there), but if you're in the mood for something from a particular
genre/style/period, it can often be overwhelming to see that many CDs in
alpha order unless you already know all the artists/groups that belong to
that genre. At 33 Degrees, it's a little easier to navigate by genre.
But Waterloo's vinyl and CD comps are grouped loosely by style, so that's a
nice one.
I'm an advocate for both...
