quick thoughts on White Noise Records Hong Kong
Some quick thoughts on White Noise
first this is one of the better shops in Asia
granted it’s definitely smaller than many.
Main reason: Gary seems to have a sense of humor and amazingly is remarkably un-pretenious as record store clerks go and B. he has a rather good ear. White Noise also seems a tad more contemporary than Purple Records in Seoul primarily becuase it actually stocks the little “experimental” bands like No Necks, Kieth Whitman, and others. It’s the fact that the cds he stocks are also the good ones. While japan might have shops with every cd possible to ever find and then the limited edition with teledildonics and t-shirts, White Noise is more advantly adventuress than many of Japan’s stock everything indie and then let it sell. In essence it’s everything there seems to belong to an elagonated mental category of musical listening that’s more likely to recommend just by location than by scene.
