bay area/ LA area recomendacciones

I actually didn't mean to go the what's most authentic route.





This woulda been better:





If I'm slaving all day in the fields and El Jefe ain't trying to give me a break for lunch, please do go ahead and throw everything and the kitchen sink into a giant tortilla so I can eat it standing up in record time. Otherwise, I'll take a plate and a fork and my food properly segregated. Muchas gracias.

Okay, we can agree on that.

... and fuck the dumb shit I been eating Gordos since the 1980s. I had a nopales taco and pozole for lunch yesterday I'll still fuck up a gringo ass burrito in a minute.





back on track, I haven't been to any of these new Bay Area record shops. Am I missing anything or nah? I found some surprisingly decent shit just at the old Telegraph spots last trip (not mindblowing mind you but hey... I was happy to kill an hour or two). Also I drove by Laney but it wasn't on? Am I missing something?

Purists will forever vouch for the location on Solano, but I gotta say the spot on telegraph is convenient for a post dig burrito.





If you're in the east bay on the weekend the ashby flea is worth hitting up. I haven't been in quite some time but I've heard people can still come up there.

Stranded easily gets the coolest records through its doors of any of the East Bay shops. The pricing can be semi-offensive, but for rare jazz and psych, the place has a lot to offer. They are very mellow with trades, though, so it can take the sting off the high prices. They have a copy of Stark Reality on the wall right now, along with half the Tribe LP jazz catalog. The guys that run it are knowledgable and pretty chill. They are always down to cut deals if you are buying a few things. Bring beer and cigarettes!





Vamp is somewhat of a clusterfuck of disorganization, making it frustrating to dig, but on the flipside you will find excellent shit randomly hiding in weird places. They still haven't figured out how to get good new arrivals in the door other than letting people consign there. This is the place to get cool local 45s for chill prices.





Econo-Jam Records is a new shop run by rockist dudes who are still getting the hang of pricing such foreign genres as Jazz and Soul. :killin_it:


They by far have the best location of the three shops to get in nice records, so I hope they can figure out how to really work their game.





I probably do most of my shopping at flea markets, the Berkeley shops, and maybe once a week at the Oakland spots. Not complaining at all.

The Burma Superstar on Tele is terrible. I went there within the last year and it was bad. Noodles overcooked and everything was overly salted/garlicky. The one in Alameda is way better. I haven't been to the SF locations.


Brown Sugar Cafe has some good soul food.

Texas was and still is a part of Mexico anyway, I don't see what you guys are fighting about.

We're not fighting. Homie's just struggling to come around to the reality that: BURRITOS SUCK!

Wow, I ate there last week and it was great. The one in Alameda is definitely better, though, just for the much shorter wait times. It's quicker for me to drive all the way to Alameda to get a table than to walk over to the one on telegraph a few blocks from my house and wait 45 minutes for a table.

MEXICAN SUCKOTASH RAP.





It's about flavor or lack thereof, not different foods merely touching.
