| Easy Street Records & Cafe. West Seattle. 4559 California Ave Sw. |
Easy Street is one of my favorite places to go in Seattle. Not a gallery per se, but there is an artist who changes the displays and paints album covers on the outside walls a few times a week. I’m always impressed and excited to come into the store, the staff is extremely well-informed in a variety of music and offer great recommendations. They have play copies of most albums, listening stations, and the staff is required to list their top ten every year which is posted on their website (http://easystreetonline.com/staff-picks). Listen to the staff, they are wise, and without them I would never have picked up some of my favorite artists, including Wolf Parade, Mogwai, Efterklang,The Decemberists, Kurt Wile, The Cave Singers, Dirty Projectors, Hauschka, Elbow, Hercules and Love Affair (I could go on and on...). Pandora has nothing on Easy Street.
Today I stopped in to use my free CD stamp, picked up Toro y Moi, and I’m really digging them.
