Those do look good.
Got a worried call from Mom who saw the Saturday DMV brawl videotape excerpt from the Crystal City Hilton on the local tv news, and wondered if I was there. I wasn't. There's more follow-up on this from the W.Post, blogger Dowling who we have linked to above, and others

Nope. That was a Thursday at lunchtime show at Howard that didn't get much attention (although I see M. West, the CP's jazz critic mentioned it in advance).

I see that John Murph liked that Robert Glasper gig at Bohemian Caverns over the weekend. But does every hipster jazz or classical act have to cover Radiohead? I like the Busta Rhymes one better.

That's the Washington Post Style section review I'm referring to.

The two flyers in that piece are amazing for how many graphic design and content signifiers of each genre they carry, might gotta do a remix where I reverse them.

I know it's not DC but back when I lived there, I made the trek to Hammerjack's. Anyway, I will be at Sonar for Agalloch tomorrow night.
If anyone is going, email me yer cell phone and we can have an ILM drink.
For those not going, wtf? It's Agalloch!!

Yeah. Parking lot for the football stadium, I believe.
Saw Ozzy there back in the day. Surprise show billed as Blizzard Of Oz.

I like buying used CDs for metal, alternative and the like.A friend suggested Crooked Beat. Good idea?
― Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Monday, 21 March 2011 06:24 (thirteen years ago) link
not much good for CDs as far as I saw. seems like a great stop for vinyl though.

Oh noes! Well where is a boy to go for his used CD needs in DC (say CD needs in DC 10x fast, I dare ya) if metal is the main (but not only) thing on the shopping list?

However not open until around the weekends... Also not sure if open at all as the site has not been updated in some time.
I would go even if it was all vinyl just because!!

Stumped me on that store. Hmmmmm, Smash is pricey. The Fairfax Record Exchange has cds and vinyl. Not sure how their metal selection is.
I guess most of the info on these other threads is out of date:
washington dc record stores?
Huge list of DC record stores...can someone glance over it and tell me which are worth stopping at?
― curmudgeon, Monday, 21 March 2011 14:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Got a couple things at Rooked Beat but yeah, mostly wax, no metal.
Gonna hit Smash while I am in the area.

Nice smattering of used CDs at Smash for under $60. Best was the remastered Bloodrock CD and Prince "Dirty Minds."

Wish a place other than the Park at 14th would be bringing in r'n'b singers every week. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but the Teedra Moses one, the Angie Stone one last week, and Jaguar Wright next week have been done on little advance word. I still haven't read that big W.
