Thanks a bunch guys! Those sound like great recommendations. With the important stuff out of the way, I guess I should now go take care of minor details like finding a place to stay and such :)
Great music stores in LA/Santa Monica?
I am about to accept a new job in Santa Monica, which will mean I'll spend two weeks a month out there, away from family. Can anyone recommend places that sell new or used CD's in or around Santa Monica / LA with an interesting music offering, ie. more than the popular stuff? Currently in to orchestral classical, jazz, female vocals, acoustical instrumental and techno.
