don't worry -- there is Dope Jams in Brooklyn now. i haven't been there, but it's apparently a super high-quality shop for house, and some disco and stuff in there too. from what i hear, they get all the dope detroit and chi stuff, and very little junk...great store name too!
personally i think vinyl is on the upswing, or at least the bleeding has stopped. -----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Jun 25, 2007 1:16 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: (313) Vinylmania in NYC closed?! > > > > > >Apparently it closed up shop in March :-( >How come this wasn't bigger news?? > >Was probably NYC last remaining bastion of real house and disco music in >the city >was around the corner from the Paradise Garage - opened in 1978 > >rent in the neighborhood have increased too much > >http://gravityandfusion.blogspot.com/2007/03/vinyl-mania.html >http://broklynbeats.blogspot.com/2007/03/vinylmania-empire-rink-close_23.html >http://forum.defected.com/viewtopic.php?t=27655&highlight=&sid=765b66b5ff5053db6b6036665c88908a > > >if you had never been to the shop it was an amazing experience >great service - hand picked selection for you >floor to ceiling records and just the pure heritage and history in that >little shop > >a proper House Music Mecca > >damn... > > >MEK > >
