PSF Records in Tokyo

i spent about 300 dollars! plus it's all really expensive there, but no more expensive than other Japanese cd stores. i think i got an in store discount but im not sure.

the stuff on the left wall is, if i remember correctly, american garage and psych. the right wall seemed to be german and european psych. directly to the right of where i am standing with the camera is the japanese section. lots of great non-PSF stuff there too! (and even Alchemy records stuff)

here's what the neighborhood looks like:

Modern Music / PSF appears to be in someone's house, yes?

i was transferring from the Odakyu line at Shinjuku and it took me like an hour to figure out how to get to the Keio line! crazy tokyo train stations!

I ate at a wappa-ya off the main drag about a block up from the train station towards Daibutsu upstairs and on the left, totally amazing.

Oh shit, Disk Union looks amazing. Sadly it's my wife thats going not me. She's willing to go a 'little out of her way' to find some vinyl/CDs that are difficult to get in the UK/EU... Ah well..

just flipping through those pictures, it's astounding how many CDs/LPs I recognize, and how many of those are ones I've looked for incessantly myself at the local store. God bless that place!

The main Disk Union in Shinjuku (the one up 3 floors) is very well equipped and easy to find.

Matt#2 to thread

Where are you staying in Japan?

we're not sure yet--flying into tokyo and out of osaka two weeks later. currently filling in the gaps. trying to balance city stuff with attractive rural hiking type stuff. also interested in eating and seeing weird music.

This is good news though.

Perhaps check out the Kiso Valley for a good balance of hiking and rural loveliness
