Moby Disc Date: 2/19/2002 1:04:22 PM To: xibalba@no-fi.com If you read my original post, you'll know that Django is based out of Portland and they have take upon themselves to buy out old record stores that seem to be on the verge of bankruptcy. I've been to the original one in Portland and let me tell you, they do have a pretty good selection. Now that everyone is talking about Orange County, what about the valley? Is Moby disc still there? Record Surplus? Odyssey? Earcandy?.....Licorce Pizza!!!...yeah right...but that was the place(Sherman Oaks mall)where I bought my first Church record. Damn...are there still record shows going on at least? Pasadena? Buena Park? How about Poobahs in Pasadena? Still there? Does anyone remember Neal's records in Glendale. The grandaddy location for Imports and Bootlegs. Enough of my stroll down memory lane.
