Look like Al Nalli's store has finally given up the ghost. No big suprise,
since they were getting smaller and weirder every year. But already one of
the former employees has opened up "Analogic", a DJ store, in the same space.
Well, somebody needed to open a DJ store in Ann Arbor. Whether they survive
the inevitable appearance of a Guitar Center (the K-Mart of music stores) in
the next couple of years remains to be seen.

I visited the Guirar Center in Canton. All new and different
types of different geekdoom toys to play with.

Probably a couple crappy ones. For banjos you want to go to Elderly
Instruments in Lansing, where they have a huge collection of banjos from
high-end handmade ones all the way down to semi-authentic banjurs.

I thought Ann Arbor already had at least one DJ-oriented music store.
What happened to the Grooveyard? (I suppose I'm way behind the times..)

Dunno about Grooveyard, but what I meant by "DJ store" is that they sell
turntables and mixers and such.

I don't know if Grooveyard is still in business. When they opened, they
looked to be at the bottom of the used-CD food chain, but they almost
immediately started jettisoning their CD collection in favor of vinyl, and
started selling DJ hardware. They certainly seem to be trying to position
themselves as a "DJ store," but they're still scuzzy enough and
staffed-by-surly-teenagers enough that I'd be hesitant to buy hardware from
them.

Analogic does all the same retail sales and service that Nalli did. The
three main employees are still there, one being the owner.

Off The Record is still the main alternative in Yakima, as is Rodeo
Records in Ellensburg. Interestingly enough, although I wasn't fond
of Ellensburg, I think I prefer Rodeo Records.
