RE: [313] modern music in baltimore - opinions
Modern Music in my opinion was way better then YoshitoshiBUT...when i was shopping in that area of the country for records Deep Dish had just taken over the store in Georgetown, and had removed everything from the store, and it was going to take them a while to get back on track. If they have gottenthe store back to where it should be, I don't know...we will have to see. Also, it always seemed to be worth it more to shop at 611 in Philly...I would drive from an hour south of DC to shop there.

Re: [313] modern music in baltimore - opinions
Can you get a lot of the stuff that people mention on the list at 611?? I haven't been over in a bit, and worse yet I know someone who works there and never thought to ask if they have some of the stuff, until this thread came up... *sadly shakes head* Jim J. - Original Message - From: FC3 Richards [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Andy Battle' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Sunday, July 07, 2002 8:37 PM Subject: RE: [313] modern music in baltimore - opinions to see.

RE: [313] modern music in baltimore - opinions
I drive the 2.5 hours from D.C. to Philly to shop at 611 (sometimes to ONLY shop at 611) as much as I can. They have a wonderful selection of techno, a much broader range than Yoshitoshi, and a good backstock. The guy I talked to last time I was there (ack don't remember name) said that they will order records for you, hold records, and/or if you drive up and they don't have something in stock but will be getting it, would let you call in and then ship it. My favorite non-NYC record shop. BUT, in the last couple trips I made to 611 it seemed their techno section was shrinking, but no one who worked there seemed to want to talk about it. I'd definitely go check it out though.

Re: [313] modern music in baltimore - opinions
Hmm..611 has yet to impress me for some reason. Perhaps because I'm usually shopping for more non-straight forward techno. I've always thought their glitch, IDM and micro house section needed some work. Everytime I've gone in there recently jungle has been blaring from the ceiling. 612 isn't what it used to be either. It still feels like 'just another record store' to me still.I've yet to have my moment of vinyl hunting connection there. That moment when you find a record you've been looking for and say 'this store is great!'. AKA music in Philly has a large selection of used CD's and a mixed selection of records. It's more focused towards a mix of punk/techno and hip hop. I bought a Ghostly(Daniel Wang) and a Roots Manuva record in there the other day. just my recent observations (of a city that I'm in looove with btw:)) d --- JL Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can you get a lot of the stuff that people mention on the list at 611??

RE: [313] modern music in baltimore - opinions
They will try to get anything there for you. They have a large selection of Detroit records including Jeff Mills and Rob Hood. +8 and Probe too. They have alot of out of print records sitting in the store that no one has picked up yet. I recently purchased 5 copies of the first Spawn record (Prob #3) from there via mail order. 4 of the copies were still sealed. That record has been out of print for years... -Original Message- From: JL Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 4:07 AM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: [313] modern music in baltimore - opinions Can you get a lot of the stuff that people mention on the list at 611??

Re: [313] modern music in baltimore - opinions
Modern Music is *OK*. Better'n DC, for what it's worth... You can occasionally find some older gems (like in the discount bins @ Yoshi Toshi), but generally, I think you should either get Yoshi Toshi to order new stuff for you or shop online. This is the conundrum we're all asking ourselves about, and my answer has become Satellite + Groovetech + Vinyl Junkies. I think most locals who focus exclusively on techno use a combination of Yoshi Toshi and Groovetech/Satellite. I'm a bit broader than that, and frankly, Yoshi Toshi is overpriced and understocked.
