Rockville Rock City
Nestled in deepest suburbia sits Joe's Record Paradise, the coolest used record store that side of the Beltway. You'll need a car and about 45 minutes to get there even on a weekend, but if business takes you yonder, it's really, really, really worth a trip. For the princely sum of $27, I got the following on vinyl:
Eddy Grant, Killer on the Rampage
The Clash, London Calling (at a third of the price of the 180 gram reissue)
XTC, Black Sea
Men Without Hats, Collection
Iggy Pop, some sort of badly-labeled "Rock Club Versions" copyrighted 1980. I guess P. Diddy didn't invent the remix, after all.
Add that to my growing obsession with getting strange Out Hud and Pulp B-sides and remixes on Ebay and you have a reason to go to the next bluestate.
Megahotness.

Joe's is awesome. I miss Y&T for 7"s and collectible stuff, but you can't beat Joe's if you're just looking for used vinyl. I could browse there for hours.

I like Joe's a lot. Haven't made it over there since I got rid of my car, though. Nothing that is Metro accessible comes close to the selection there.
