Hey
I'm going on a business trip to NY in March, most time will be with customers and meetings but I hope to get one day free in the city ;) so can anyone recommend a good record store, I'll be looking for PJ related stuff as well as some Zappa goodies, if they have a large Music-DVD section as well it would be a bonus :)

I'm going to a few shops on Broadway (converse and yellow rat bastard) so if it's anywhere close it would be great.

Thanks

Peace

    Look up rough trade, it's a London import that's opening up in Williamsburg, not sure if its there yet. Worth checking out if it's here by the time you are here, the London stores are awesome.

    Love generation records :)

    Heh. It just has a reputation (for better or worse) as hipster central. If you don't fear trucker hats, handlebar mustaches, suspenders and saddle shoes, you'll be fine. ;)

    L train there can be a pain, though.

    :lol::lol::lol: It's not so bad, is it? To be honest, haven't been to Williamsburg in awhile, was going to brave the L train once Rough Trade opened!

    Sooo, when in March are you here? If you are here March 3rd, go to Other Music! Thurston Moore is playing a free show with his new band Chelsea Light Moving: http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2 ... ght_m.html
