ok exotique is unfortunetly no more ... very uncool .. but there is a
store in capital fill on pike (just north of broadway ) called delicious
music .. and it fits the niche that exotiques closing has left us with ...

very cool place .. but not having a turntable makes it a not to often
vistied one ..

service smervice .. yeah there uppity sub pop groupies .. but oh man their
cd selection is always dope ... i have never left this store without a
handful of cd's...

2 other places to look are wall of sound in belltown(snd and bell?) ..
limited but ecclectic catalogue and OHM! ... on olive in captiol hill ...
ohm has an even more limited stock .. and its all imports .. but it has
been *the* place to get weird ass music since i move here 2.5 years ago
... i love walking into this place (or even by it for that matter) just to
see what hes got playing in the store


hope this helps
