Does anyone know if anything intereseting will be happening in the San Diego area between next week and the end of Feburary? Or any interesting record stores? I found out I'll be stuck in Carlsbad, CA for that time and I think that is close to San Diego (please correct me if i'm wrong) thanks _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Your best bet for IDM related goodies that you can preview (on vinyl at least) is Off The Record in the Hillcrest suburb of San Diego... (San Diego's Castro if you will). Near the corner of University Ave. and 5th Ave. Just minutes south of you is Lou's Records -- one of the best record stores in southern California. Take I-5 south, exit Leucadia Blvd. Turn right. Then turn left on Hwy 101, and go until you see the big sign on your right. Pretty decent selection of dance music there, though unfortunately they don't have preview/listening stations (for vinyl at least). There's two halves to the store -- The "New" and the "Used". I usually find a lot more gems in the "Used" section, personally. But your mileage may vary. There's also Elevator records on E street in downtown, between 9th and 10th. Ave (Next to POKEZ, the best mostly veggie Mexican restaurant ever). They have an experimental section, but mainly concentrate on other genres, like house, and what not. ======================================================================= Brian MacDonald <brianm@kuci.org> ======================================================================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

actually there is a vinyl listening table at Lou's. it's been there for years. just no cd listening pagoda. Off the Record is 10x better for IDM type stuff, but Lou's is better for everything else (and better prices). also, there's Spin Records in that very town, Carlsbad, although they've just moved down the street and cut some of their inventory. -andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
