| Hey everyone! Read the site a lot, but have never posted before. I am taking a 4 day vaction to Toronto, I will be there Aug. 29 - Sep 1. I am wondering if I could get the names and address of places to go record shopping, and any clubs I should make a point of going to. Thanks in advance. Peace! |

| Well as far as clubnights go, look no further than this. Rumor has it that the Guvernment will be jam-packed, but the lineup is worth it, IMHO. |

| Sounds good. Is it possible to get the address of these places, I am from Minneapolis, USA; so address will help me tell the cab driver where to take me. Also, what night is that? |

most of them are all along Yonge ST. and Queen St. West
of the more popular ones:
Play de Record
Release
The Pit
Eastern Bloc |
|
|
| Mosaic |
just take the subway to College :)
The PIT, Play de Record and Release are all within 5 minutes walking distance :) |

Eastern Bloc is closed.
Release is nice and roomy, with high quality listening stations. Super friendly staff.
Play de Record has, by FAR, the best selection in Toronto but only if you're willing to put in some elbow grease and do some crate diggin. It's truly a shop for the music lovers, with a wide selection of every type of genre. |

and PDR is VERY cramped... it's also the shop of choice (as far as I know) for the hip hop crowd. |
