There's two shops that I can think of right away. Street Dance Records which is on Vestergade and Baden Baden which is in the basement on the corner of StudieStraede and Kattesundet )or is it StudieStraede and Colbjornses Gade??) anyway that dosen't really matter here's some info on how to get there. When you walk down the main pedestrian street (Stroget) comming from the city hall you go down the first street on left hand (this is either Kattesundet or Colbjornsens Gade). The first parellel street to Stroget is VesterGade on your right hand you will find Street Dance. If you want to go to Baden Baden you do exactly the same thing over again except for StudieStraede is the second parellel street to Stroget, you will find Baden Baden on the corner of the street you come from and StudieStaede. On StudieStraede you will also find another Record Store called Sex Beat Records which is right next to The Black Universe if you fancy whips, chains and leather underwear. ;) If you need a map I can fax one to you. Street Dance Records is, I think, run by DJs for DJs which makes the guys behind the counter pretty f****** arrogant. If they haven't heard about what you're asking for they are pretty good at making you look stupid this is also a trick they like using if what you ask for is just a couple of months old. I once asked for an album by The Mighty Bop (extremely cool French hip hop) and they more or less laughed at me in my face because THEY hadn't heard about it and therefor it had to be either shit or non-existent (oh! the ignorant bastards). In April I had heard the song "Sideways on My Mind (Tales from the Wood Shed III)" by The Woodshed on the radio. In June I went back home to Denmark and dropped by at Street Dance and asked for it, at first he didn't know what I was talking about then he remembered something and then slagged me off saying that it was impossible to get hold of because it was over a year old. A month ago I read the May '95 issue of some DJs magazine and found a review of the newly released "Sideways on My Mind" by The WoodShed. Bastards. It dosen't hurt going by there though, sometimes they've got what you need but still, am I the only one having experienced this DJ arrogance?? The guys at Baden Baden are much nicer, they actually do something to help you. One final thing. I'm still looking for that The WoodShed single, I think they're on Cloak and Dagger but I'm not sure. Does anybody know where I can get this? It dosen't matter if it's on a comp. or second hand (I prefer CD) I just want it. There's a remix of it called "Radio WoodShed" but I'm not interested in that one.
