Amoeba records is on Haight near Stanyan - Upper Haight,
close to Golden Gate park.
Yeup - a boatload of records, but fairly picked over. I
think recent arrivals are brought in on Tuesdays.
There's another decent store on Divisadero and Haight, Open
Mind Music. Not as popular but you can find some gems.
There's another spot on Haight street, around Baker or so -
close to the Anarchistic Book collective. Can't remember the
name, but I've had some luck there.
Near Union Square on Powell street (about a block from the
big cable car turn-table) you'll find Rasputin's. I've not
purchased much vinyl there, but they do seem to stock some
decent stuff.
You'll also come across a bunch of homeless people selling
whatever they found in the garbage or stole from a car. A
short glance at their wares can make one man's tragedy
another man's treasure.
If you want to dig, you can check out the thrift shop on
Valencia, around 20th or 21st. Its close to the Elbo room on
Valencia.
If you want to check out any shows, check out the flyers on
the lightpoles in Upper & Lower Haight, Mission District, and
South of Market. The weekly mags are ok - but they generally
feature artists becuase of their 'hipster' status and not for
any musical ability.
Have fun - hopefully the never-ending winter drizzle won't
rain on your trip. Feel free to email me privately if you
have any other questions.
