Well, I want to start off with my adventure in Ft Lauderdale. Amidst all the botox, boutique shops, rich bitches and over priced restaurants, I found some of Ft. Lauderdale's finest treasures.
I'd always wanted to go to Radio-Active Records .. for the most obvious (not to mention lame) reasons.. uhmm I work for a station called Radiate FM and they're Radio-Active.. I felt a sort of kinship with that store off the bat. But also, I'm always up for checking out a new music store, esp if it's right in my back yard. I must say, the store is more than I'd expected! They have a
great selection of both Records and Cd's , the atmosphere is great and they even have a little section for local music- which brings me to the purchases I'd made over there. The picture that you see in the left hand corner is the CD of Tumbleweave- they're a cartoon demon electron experimental rock band.. and their music id soo rad. I bought it pretty much because of the CD art (which is a limited-time edition) so it was a nice surprise to find out that they're good. The second CD that I bought was Jose El Rey's album. I'd been wanting it for a while. The music is mostly bass.. or Miami bass or whatever you'd like to call it. But either way, I couldn't pass up owning music by him. His lyrics are ridiculous and I love how he puts on an extra-strong Hispanic accent.. don't go swimming after you eat, or you will get the belly stress (from safety first)... that still cracks me up. Too bad he's on hiatus! Anyways, for coffee I went to
Brew in Ft Lauderdale. I love the
atmosphere and the coffee, not to mention. It's not as busy or corporate as Starbucks and I love that. The prices are reasonable and the employees are down to earth (don't mean to rag on SBUX employees though!). So if you are in the area and would like some brew, go to Brew!
