I currently dwell in the hills of El Cerrito, and while dorking around in the town part of it one day recently, I discovered the coolest thing about it. On the corner of San Pablo Ave and Central there is the best kind of store... It's called 33 Revolutions and it is a cafe/coffee bar that looks like a bunch of different living rooms in one big ass room AND it's also a RECORD STORE, thats right exclusively vinyl! Totally my kind of place. I'm a helpless caffeine addict and I love to collect and listen to vinyl. I walked out of there with the following gems :

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon
John Coltrane - Expression
Santana - I think its one of the 1st albums they ever put out. The cover is the design of the guy traveling through the cosmos. It has "Batuka", "Taboo", "Everybody's Everything"..etc... classic old Santana, very cool...

...so if you are in, going through, or close to El Cerrito sometime I highly suggest going there... here is their site = http://www.33revolutions.com/

What a find! I've gotta check it out. Your description reminded me of one of my favorite bars.. in Boston called "Our Place". 1/2 flight down, looks like a bunch of different living rooms (or college dorm rooms), large or small, some with a stereo or a TV or a pool table or just a couch and end tables. Like hanging at a friend's house -- but with table service.

But with vinyl. Wow. I've been thinning the collection a bit (down under 2,000 now) but still looking to fill gaps.

Thanks for the lead!
