Is Your Favorite Music Store Extinct? - Beyond Tiki

It was not easy to find the punk and edgy material that they played on KROQ at the more commercial/mainstream stores of the time. Remember when KROQ was underground? I still remember my first visit there and I do believe that I still have the records and rough old 'zines I got there. Nowadays I seek a retailer that would have the obscure exotica that I seek on cd and vinyl. Amoeba in Hollywood is the one that comes closest to providing it. Also from that era, there is a crusty little record store on La Cienega near Cattaraugus (called "The Record Store") that is still open. It's hit or miss with my exotica and lounge search, like going to a swap meet, but I love that it's still there.
