Editorial Review for Reckless Records – by Jennifer Olvera
The Scene
Bespeckled hipsters with side-slung bags riffle through section after section of new and used CDs, videos and DVDs, silently contemplating how the latest Nelly album made its way into the racks. Cranked, varied tunes keep the vibe vibrant, while its musically well-informed staff rattles on about the rise of alt-country, the drudgery all ages shows and their distain for malt beverages. And keep an eye out-you might even get rung up by Revolting Cock Chris Connelly.
The Goods
Among the city's greatest resources for affordable new and used, out-of-print and hard-to-find indie releases-both on CD and LP-everything is easy to locate and divided first by category, then alphabetically. Face-level you'll find new releases from ambient and experimental to punk, rock and soul, many with notes of recommendation. Other offerings include video games, multi-formatted movies (some avant, others unbearably mainstream, many used).

Super-cool indie spot for records. lotsa freaky introverted college students work here, giving it that authentic slacker vibe. good used selection, and you can listen to any cd you like. much better than buying from the man over at border's.
Pros: good used racks, great selection
Cons: hipper-than-thou vibe
