BooBoo's in San Luis Obispo is good, and don't forget to stop by Stuff-o-rama/Insomniac Video for your Tiki and Russ Meyer fix.

Thanks for the props! Boo Boo's is a great record store, but I'm biased as I worked there for more than 14 years. http://www.booboorecords.com
Boo Boo's has the "Wax Museum" which is dedicated to vinyl and used CDs. The used inventory turnover there is massive.

I used to head to Zed Records in Long Beach but the woman who owned it passed on from breast cancer and her husband told me he just didn't want to carry on without her. I really miss that place, it was my one-stop-punk-rock-shopping spot. Very sad on all counts.

Amoeba on Sunset blew my mind the first time I went in there. It was so overwhelming I had to leave. They had everything I had been looking for in the used section for under $7. I love how the LA "industry" folk are so jaded they turn their collections over when they feel music is "over". Works in our favor!

Aaron's and Rene's were great too. I haven't been to Aaron's at their latest location, I'm hoping to get in there in the next couple of weeks when I'm down there.

oh, and Taang and Peerside used to be pretty great too, I'm not sure if they moved or went out of business...
