Other Music

Whenever I’m in NYC, I blow a ton of cash at Other Music in the East Village. A visit to this CD/record boutique is like a transgenre tour of the finest music you’ve probably never heard. From glitch hop, Krautrock, and global pop to afro-beat, folktronica, and vintage psychedelia, OM only sells the choicest cuts. They also have an excellent Web site and weekly email update with RealAudio samples of the records they review. OM’s Year End Recap–a “best of” culled from the weekly updates–is a great port-of-entry into the staff’s exquisite taste. Link
