Right there in that Wicker Park-Bucktown triangle is wonderful, wonderful Reckless Records. As one who prefers music that is a bit more independent than the typical American Idol, it is so nice to have a record shop with the obscure, and a staff that is well-versed in that obscurity. Although, they are usually too cool to really sell you on something, they are pleasant enough, and they won't bother you unless you bother them, which I like. You can't help but spend considerable time thunmbing through the used selections as well as the new stuff. Whatever you're little heart may desire, as long as it is not too mainstream, but they carry that stuff, too, I mean, you have to make money, right?
