musician's Reviews

Other Music at 15 East 4th Street in New York is a music lover’s dream. They stock a bit of everything — indie rock, avant-garde jazz, experimental, electronica, classic rock and a few rare imports, as well. The staff isn’t all that chatty, but they know their stuff, especially if you’re looking for music that’s not on the radio. Since I own a record store, I always have to know if I have something they don’t. It’s just a little competition us record stores have with each other. Anyway, so I will ask them about a few rare, hard-to-find records, and rarely am I able to stump them. More often than not, they show me records I didn’t even know I wanted. Now that’s impressive. Their prices are reasonable, and it’s much better than going to a retail store.
