I complain about the lack of independent record stores in D.C., so I may should pass along this info. D.C. has a new record store. And even though it is right down the street from my apartment, I haven't been able to visit it yet. But it's called Crooked Beats, and it's across the street from the ninth circle of Saturday night hell that is Tom Tom. The over/under on its survival is one year. I'm not saying that to be an asshole; just be pragmatic.
