If you are an indie hipster looking for old punk albums on vinyl then I guess this is your spot. A lot of people seem to think this is one of the best record stores in the city but I have no idea what they're talking about. Every time I have gone in there I have to listen to jackass employees talk about Facebook or what their plans are that night. I think they must view the movie High Fidelity as their code of conduct.
I've not been to their new location much at all. Last time I was there I found a small pocket of funk records which were all re-issues and overpriced. I had to leave because I was getting fed up with the music that was playing combined with random yelling from whoever was working in the back area pit.
I used to hit up their old spot a lot because they had dollar bins of hip-hop and I would be able to get some really choice records for about 5 dollars each. One good thing about Rotate This being an indie rock record store is that they have little knowledge of what their hip-hop records are actually worth.
I hear it's a good place to buy concert tickets though... If you are into a certain genre of music I can see it being a good spot, but if you're more into hip-hop, funk, soul or anything like that then there are much better options with less-crusty service.
