Rotterdamn is a lovely town -- home of Clone Records (
http://www.clone.nl)
Actually on the same street (Nieuwe Binnenweg) with Clone are several record
stores of all sorts. Amsterdam is very intense and touristy -- depending
on what you're looking for it's worth checking out other towns. It's
a very compact country, so side trips by train and tram are quite do-able.
If you don't yet have a place to stay in Amsterdam, I really recommend
the City Hostel Vondelpark (
http://www.njhc.org/english/hb_entree.cfm?hb_id=3)
It's near a tram line, and faces the Vondelpark which is beautiful. Walking
distance to Museums and clubs, and outside the main touristy neighborhoods.
It's near Global Chillage too (
http://www.globalchillage.com) which was
my favorite coffee shop. Not only because of the music and vibe and err
refreshments, but because it's right across from a laundromat.
