About two weeks ago, I found myself in the not unusual position of being elbows deep in the dusty vinyl bargain bins at a record shop. More specifically Generation Records, a somewhat sizable CD and vinyl shop located in downtown SoHo. Almost immediately unimpressed by the generous collection of overpriced rock albums on the main floor, my good friend Sam and I soon found ourselves wandering downstairs, where they kept the other genres.
