Welcome to Seattle, the birthplace of the grunge movement & great coffee.
It makes sense that in a city like this, there are still a few great places to buy a real CD.
At Easy Street Records, you can find the classics (The Beatles) & the obscure (The Thrills). They even host concerts & have a coffee shop.
As much as I love my iPod, I still appreciate a good nineties throwback. Easy Street delivers with LPs, music magazines, clearance cassette tapes, & electric-guitar-shaped spatulas.
There are old phone booths for listening to music before you buy.
It wouldn't be Seattle without a good drug reference.
When I visit, I can't leave the store without a few CDs in my bag, plus the odd Easy Street Records pin or Weezer key chain. And that guitar shaped spatula is definitely in my kitchen.
Ah ... I miss Seattle.
