Since the Charles St. location of Modern Music closed,
there hasn't really been a "one-stop" store in
Baltimore that could cater to most listers. However,
with the right battle plan, listers can still get (and
preview) decent music in the Bmore metro area in
person:
The Soundgarden - www.cdjoint.com (has a moderately
sized but still decently comprehensive "electronic"
section. Post-Charles-MM, the single best place to
get "idm"/etc in person in Bmore.)
CDepot - www.cdepot.com (The Towson location north of
Bmore isn't as large as the College Park [DC] store,
but still has good bargains for those who don't mind a
small but nonetheless worthwhile new & used
"electronic" section)
Modern Music (Eastern Ave) - www.modernmusic.com (has
mostly crap club-fodder at disgustingly high prices,
but still periodically rescues itself from total
obsolescence. Literally worlds apart from the Charles
St. location...file under "last resort")
And of course, there's the self-explanatorily-named
stores Inner City Records, ClubTrax, and Music Man
Oldies for all the "eclectically-minded."
RIP Bernie & Music Liberated (the store in "the bad
Negro neighborhood" in John Waters' Hairspray) which
was a mind-numbingly-good resource for odds and ends,
and where I got all my Bmore club mixtapes, DMC vids,
and even the Lexis 12" with the Autechre remix for 5$
way back when.
Hope this helps someone!
