well let's see.... since i haven't bought a record in an actual store in god knows how long, this info might be outdated. however, for music i would recommend Amoeba on Sunset @ Cahuenga, This Is Music on Melrose, and Vinyl Fetish on Vermont in the Los Feliz area. I think there's a Vinyl Fetish on Melrose as well but i aint never been thar.
Music equipment: definitely Black Market Music on La Cienega, West Hollywood. It's a used gear place but almost always home to some unusual find; great place to browse. West LA Music, on Santa Monica Blvd in (you guessed it) West LA. Excellent place for new stuff, good people. Know the price of whatever you're shopping for before you go in and they'll match it. And if you're feeling very motivated, Big City Music (bigcitymusic.com) in Studio City has a lot of analog and unusual stuff. seeing as i'm a lot more irish than greg is scottish, there's lots of places to celebrate alcoholism but i'm sure you won't have any trouble finding bars. clubs nearly all suck. and that also depends on where you're staying. LA is not what you'd call small. -garrett Jason Brunton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 01/17/2005, 08:12:04 PM: > Hey Gregg- yah we are coming over for NAMM- me and Wilba (who is the > owner of Rubadub)- excellent work on the party info- thanks a lot- I'm > sure we'll make enough trouble of our own at these places anyway! > Maybe we could meet up for a beer (or whiskey as you are 1/8th > Scottish!)?? > > thanks again > > Jason > > > On 17 Jan 2005, at 17:09, Greg Earle wrote: > > > On Jan 17, 2005, at 9:20 PM BST, Jason Brunton > > wrote: > >> Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2005 21:20:09 +0000 > >> To: 313@hyperreal.org > >> From: Jason Brunton > >> Subject: Coming to LA > >> Message-Id: > >> > >> Hi again, > >> > >> going off to Los Angeles on business next week - will be in town for > >> a week - any suggestions for sightseeing/fun and some music tips > >> (record shops, music equipment shops, bars, clubs, good places to get > >> into trouble etc.) would be much appreciated > > > > Are you coming here for NAMM, Jason?
