I'm planning to hit Rockaway Records in Silver Lake this weekend, haven't been there for over a year.  I also need to go back to Record Surplus in Santa Monica.

S.D., do you know of any good record stores in San Diego? I'm going to be on vacation down there soon and that would be some great information.

I actually haven't made it down to San Diego yet, the farthest south of L.A. I've gone is Newport Beach.

I'm sure you can find recommendations online for local record stores.

Lucifer - Lucifer I

I finally caved in and bought me some Tesla albums. I got Mechanical Resonance, The Great Radio Controversy and Psychotic Supper.

I was pre-ordering the new Caffery and Maiden albums, and figured what the hell let's go wild. Tesla has been on my "to get list" for years, maybe a decade or even more.

I don't really know why I didn't try Tesla before. I always heard they were great. And I like gritty hair metal. I guess it was the fact how their fans so vehemently deny them being hair metal that put me off. "If they're not hair metal like Dokken or Cinderella, then I guess I'm not interested!".

Anyway, there's a few days wait before I get to comment on the actual albums. Just figured I'll get that out of my system. Looking forward to some Tesla. Mind you, I have heard them before. I think I've heard Mechanical Resonance since I at least know the Modern Day Cowboy song, and I once borrowed one of their newer albums from the library. It failed to wow me, but I remember it being quality music nonetheless.

Now I wrote so much I figure I could have just started a new thread. Oh well...

Glad you are getting the Tesla CD's Lari. I think you are gonna dig em. I don't want to wreck the thread so I will just say this about Tesla fans not thinking they are hair metal; it's the fact that they didn't look like a hair metal band (they were more t shirt and jeans than spandex) but the sound is there. I've been a fan since I was 12 and have never been disappointed in them.
