If it's anything like the Westside's Bookstore / Gallery / Performance Space That Sells Vinyl On The Side, called 'Equator Books & Vinyl'....... well, at least yours has the barbecue. Perhaps you could do a double review, of the slabs of vinyl and the slabs of bbq.....

If this sounds downhearted a little, I do wonder about the shift in the evolving contemporary Vinyl marketplace-- is it now going to have to be Art-Directed and Air-Brushed, in little boutiques & surrounded with ironic kitsch to sell ? What about dusty milk-crates, cigarette smoke & mold spore in the air, like it should be ??

Our westside posterchild for the vinyl resurgence will net you stuff like jackson browne and rickie lee jones records, just as you remember them, on standard labels, for oh, ten to fifteen bucks. More elusive titles are sometimes there, but don't start till you've moved beyond the twenty-five dollar point and further. Give it a miss.

To me there is a vast difference between an ultratrendoid Vinyl Galleria, where you stop in with your spokesmodel girlfriend after tapas and wine, and--- the Workingman's Record Store, which has no pretensions beyond the basic. Like I said, even if the vinyl scene is similar (and I think that's likely, though maybe with some added Indie/Alt titles involved, silverlake and all...)--- at least you've got the barbecue.

((And what's with this Barbecue::Vinyl convergence ?
Muzikmike's idea ?))
