{NY Story} My Records Acquisition in 2007

果然對我而言，來紐約就是永無止盡的敗家。此行原先的任務之一就是到SOHO / 5th Avenue / Century 21等地添購上班時要穿的行頭，結果最後只在 Brooks Brothers / UNIQLO / Clarks / Brooklyn Industries意思意思買了些，老毛病沒改其餘資金依然大都投入唱片的收集裡。跟學生時代在紐約到處晃的經驗差不多，這次讓我足足逛了整下午的店是Jazz Record Center(最精采在黑膠區)，跟接下來逛到晚上八點多的Downtown Music Gallery(最精采在Downtown/Avant區)，只能說逛完這兩間已荷包已空彈盡援絕，肩頭滿載者甜蜜的"負擔"趕往下個目的地。若讓我做個紐約爵士購碟小結，曼哈頓兩間Academy一間有著實惠的CD收藏，另間專賣LP也算物美價廉。Other Music與Kim's Video則以學生或雅痞為主要對象，偶有少見佳作，價格還可以。Jazz Record Center超豐富的收藏量可滿足喜愛八十年代以前任何一款爵士風格的爵士樂迷，裡頭仍以LP為主，CD及爵士樂相關書籍次之，應該是我見過陣仗最大的爵士庫藏。Downtown Music Gallery則是令我懷念的好地方，適合我這種喜愛偏鋒的重度前衛樂迷駐足瀏覽，回國前應該還會再去一次。pulp幾天前帶我逛的數間Brooklyn個性小店也很不賴，大概四分之一的黑膠就是搜購於Williamsburg這個新興的藝術家社區。現在開始擔心到時該如何將那堆超重的唱片抱回家了。
