One word, ok two words: Spot Lite. Had a wonderful trip to tha D in August (for Charivari) and that place is a gem -- cool daytime coffee shop/hangout, evening shows, most of them streamed (last night was Alton Miller, Malik Alston and Osunlade, I mean, serious fun!) -- and a record shop that is rapidly growing. Crate digging at midnight! I got quite a lot of new stuff and, a really big surprise, a copy of K. Hand's first track Think About It (it was reissued in 2015).
