prepare to drop some $$$. three not to miss:
amoeba: one of the biggest independent record stores anywhere. strong selection of most genres including one of the best jazz sections i've ever seen. electronic music-wise, it's great for picking up used cd compilations, etc. they've also got some good record buyers, but no listening stations, so it's a good place to pick up stuff you know you want. they've got a solid nu jazz/brokenbeat section and the used electronic bin is often full of gems. tweekin: house, house and more house. if you dig in the imports bins, you can find a lot of the european stuff mentioned on (313). (which they classify as either tech house or deep house, depending. as far as they're concerned, brokenbeat is also deep house.) also good selection of domestic house by label, lots of kdj represses, etc. open mind: its almost against the rules to mention this place on a mailing list, but i know john john has more records than he knows what to do with, so what the hey... they've got an enormous stock of used 12"s courtesty of the fact that every sf dj needs to pay rent. if you're willing spend some time, you're guaranteed to find some cool stuff. and then there's also bpm, zen city and soundworks which all have decent selections, but tend to stock mostly straight ahead house styles and nothing that you can't get at tweekin (except maybe breaks, hi-nrg, etc). if you need locations, hit me back. 0d > -----Original Message----- > From: rebekah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 8:26 AM > To: 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: (313) record stores in s.f.
