One of my favorite things to do when traveling is to check out any local record stores to see what kind of treasures I will find, so naturally, when I saw Zia Records on my way to my aunt's house, I had to stop.
Zia was not quite what I was expecting -- I had anticipated more of a "proper" record store, whereas Zia had more of an FYE feel to it. As in, they were stocked to the brim with DVDs, Blu-Rays, CDs, kitschy knick-knacks, and of course, records back in the corner. If I hadn't been pressed for time, I would have perused more of the other sections outside of the records, but records were what I came for.
They have a nice selection of both used and new records. Organization was not their forte, as the records were very loosely (and loosely is actually a little generous) organized by letter. This was not necessarily a bad thing since this disorganization lead me to finding a nice copy of Velvet Underground's White Light/White Heat in the A section, but it was a little annoying that I could not rely on some sort of organization to riffle through the records.
All in all, it was a nice stop -- found some records to take back to Oklahoma City with me, and when I'm in Vegas next, I will definitely stop by again.
