im going on the 12th of october, would love to hear about what you did there musefreek.

At CBGBs I saw this punk band called Flipper. Some of you might be familiar with them.

And at the Webster Hall I saw Kasabian support by Mew who was spectacular. I met Kasabian's record company person at the bar and she put my drinks on their tab. I was pretty chuffed as you can imagine.

In terms of records I bought, I picked up at Other Music:

1) The Dirtbombs. Can't remember album name but it has this great song on it called Chains of Love
2) Mew - 2nd album. Ethereal music.
3) Melvins - Dale Crover EP. RAWK.

:)

I remember Kurt Cobain wearing a Flipper shirt all the time, ive seen so many pictures. wasn't that his favourite band?

You mean neither of you motherfuckers have heard of Flipper?

Brilliant punk band.

Eat records on Mesarole in Greenpoint is killer for cheap vinyl.

Screaming Skull (and anyone else in nyc): If you're not doing anything October 12th, you should see Royal Pink at Otto's Shrunken Head. I know it says the 10th on their page but it's the 12th. They're a chick band with two bassists and no guitarist, and they rule.

downtown music gallery is my favorite cd store ever! i was there a month ago and spent like 105 dollars there in a half an hour. if you go there talk to manny, he knows a shitload about cool music. apparently thurston and jim orourke did a benifeit show for the DMG

i'm excited to be moving there (not only) because of their great record stores.

Hi all new yorkers! Any NEW interesting record store in New York since 2006?

hospital records moved, jammyland is closed, and i'm pretty sure there's no record stores on st. marks anymore.
