Re: (313) New WPA record
No, it's not. I run a mail-order record business, we still use USPS. We send around a thousand int'l packages a year, to some slightly exotic places. A package goes missing maybe once every two years, and usually it's not entirely clear whether it's even the USPS' fault. International shipments over 4 pounds use a customs form that includes a code that can be tracked through the USPS website. It's been that way for a decade or so. Until last month, shipments under 4 pounds used a much simpler customs form that could not be tracked (at least, not through the website), but they've just gone to more complicated one that I believe can be. Tracking means accountability for any facility or post office where the package disappears. If you have the address right and the customs form right I'd say the chances of USPS losing something are way under 1%. If you have the address or customs form wrong, the package might take a long time to come back to you, but it will..the odds of loss are the same. My biggest beef with USPS right now is with domestic Media Mail shipments, which they have gotten a little over-zealous about opening and checking. Even when the box has fragile written all over it and is insured for hundreds of dollars. Apparently I'm supposed to trust that they will properly repackage everything...not good.

(313) >Vinyl Shops in Manhattan?
I don't know if If I agree with the brooklyn hipster rock comment. The Manhattan stores' greatest strength is in their used collections that come out of circulation from the people in the neighborhoods. Diversity and rare cool records is more the style, and the in/out flow is strong. It's true that there aren't many Detroit focused vinyl stores in Manhattan, but there are tons of generally great record stores, there is especially a high density of them in the East Village/LES The best bet for new techno, is Vinyl Market at 10th St just west of 1st Ave on the uptown side. It was closed for a while, but had reopened last I checked (a few months ago). Academy on E 12th is just a few blocks away and is excellent for it's all around selection. Maybe they don't carry much from detroit producers, but they do have a great disco selection, and even an italo section. There is another vinyl shop a few blocks east on 12th, I can't remember the name. I think maybe between A and B. It is smaller and caters towards rare breaks records/funk etc. It's smaller but a cool selection. Again unlikely to find much detroit records, but I did get a Sadistic Mika Band album there the other day which is cool no matter what. Gimme Gimme Records in 5th street east of 1st Ave has a good general selection. Sound Library (I thought it was on Orchard below Houston) is also cool for old disco/electro/80s dance. It may have moved to Ave A like discogs says, but I doubt it. I haven't been in a while. Also check out A-1 on e 6th between 1st and A.... .- .-. . -.-. .- ... ... . - - . ... bluegreengold cassettes ]3 |_ |_| [- (_, /?

Re: (313) >Vinyl Shops in Manhattan?
the best store for new techno is simply dopejams. its in brooklyn. it is a place vinyl lovers can feel at home. if you like trendy perhaps wanky minimal there is also halcyon. but for 313 and related stuff, dopejams rules.

Re: (313) >Vinyl Shops in Manhattan?
everything you said doesnt refute my comment, if anything it reinforces it. depends on what kind of vinyl junkie you are, but for a 313 audience (unless you're looking for cool old records that are explicitly not electronic or pre-main electronic days), I strongly stand by my claim. again, i recommend going to manhattan stores, but expect a lot of the new vinyl stores to be wanker brooklyn hister rock or rock-electro.

By the way, vinyl market is quite closed.
