This store is kind of small and cluttered. I did not find the video I wanted to rent from this place because they did not have a lot of variety. When I asked the clerk for help, he did not seem that interested in helping me. I ending up going to another video store.

On the edge of San Francisco's Japan Town lies Turbo Planet Cd, a very, very small, independent store that sells Korean CDs, DVDs, VCDs, posters, cassette tapes, and Korean magazines. Although some of the items may be a bit pricey compared to online stores like YesAsia.com, they carry a lot of items that are not available at most other places. Out-of-print, discontinued, and rare items may be found at Turbo Planet Cd. The only problem my friends and I ran into is that two of the employees' English isn't the best. They are, however, very, very nice (they have given my friends and me posters and such for free on two different occasions!).

Street Light Records is a small music store that buys and sells used CDs, DVDs, and videos. They have a pretty good selection of rare CDs and such, all at low prices. They sell used music from all the genres, and they have quite a selection of underground stuff. Don't expect a lot of money for your used CDs though. Usually they don't pay more than a few bucks credit, but it's better than other stores.

This store is small in comparison to other used music stores. The layout isn't the most managable, and finding what your looking for is a bit hard. Also, not a very impressive collection of used titles. You just might find something you're looking for, if you haven't found it at Amoeba.

This studio is packed with high-end goodies for making exactly the album you imagine. Very snazzy decor and creature comforts and the rates are very reasonable. Perfect for artists wanting time to work on the details of their project, and a great place to have tracks mixed. Check out the website at http://spicemix.pro

All you non-musicians, I'm not sure why you'd be reading this post, but have you ever been to a real practice space complex? Very weird scene. Everyone there is a musician and there's a ton of 'tude in the air. I love stopping for a moment and letting all that disparate music in the halls mix together into something far more interesting than what you'd probably hear if you were actually listening to just one of these groups with their big stacks of amps, bad hair, and stolen licks. For the true practice space experience in SF, you've got to visit Secret Studios. They've got really nice rooms and a history of some big bands having practiced there way back when. There's a parking lot with fancy electronic gate, a store with juice, food, guitar strings, 9-volts. Rooms aren't cheap, but that's why you split rent with 6 other bands.

This music shop, which has been a Bay Area staple for years, is a great shop for independent artists and obscure records. The Union Square location boasts posters of Bay Area music stars like Mac Dre and Green Day. When you first walk in, be prepared to be hounded by the security guard to leave your baggage at the front. Loud music may be playing, anything from rap to wild punk rock. Posters align the walls going upstairs of the Bauhaus, Joy Division, and other modern rock heroes. Used CDs and DVDs sell for very cheap here, you can stock up on anything if you take the time to look. The Union Square location boasts a lot of tourists, so be prepared for lines and crowds. This is a also a great place to sell your album if you are a local artist trying to make it big!

A small store that has a variety of items, but nothing for a super great price or anything. And to top off their bad record, their service is one that really needs improving upon. There are so many other such stores in the area that QQ Entertainment should not even be looked at.

Open Mind music on Divisadero may not have the selection that Amoeba does, but they have a wonderful hand picked selection and an incredibly knowledgeable staff. Plus there is always an open listening station and you can listen to almost every record before you buy it. As far as I am concerned they have all the bests of every genre from down-tempo electronic to classic rock. I can spend hours in there talking with the employees and listening to records, and I never am able to walk out empty handed.
