I am flying to Melbourne next week to do the family thing (8 month baby and relatives to look up) and though i grew up there i haven't lived there for 15 years. Most of the spots i used to frequent have probably closed. I would appreciate someone letting me know some spots worth checking out. thanks in Advance

    I will definately hit them up as my mum and her partner are good mates with the owner Geoff Dixon.

    ha! warren's record paradise, that dude is like the walking dead i swear to god. I still remember fondly the first time i went in as a 17 year old digger, searching for zappa and beefheart. i approached the counter and asked if i could listen to a record. he snatched the record out of my hand and told me to get out. that's pretty much a standard interaction with the man.
    oh yeah dixons rarely, rarely gets anything decent these days, just the occasional don burrows or something.

    apparently there's a new place in the flinders street station underpass, I haven't been there yet but I've heard good things.

    ^^^ that'd be the Wax Museum. Run by Awakenings beatmaker Aux One I do believe...

    i will try and take a day off from my family commitments and seek out some of the mentioned spots. Is camberwell market still worth checking out?

    Yeah its not bad, but you have to go early.
    I think it closes at midday..

    for sure, though i reckon only worth hitting it if you get there by 7am at the latest. which is a big call on a sunday morning, esp for a gigging dj. have of course done the straight-from-the-club-still-hammered-5am dig but try to refrain these days...

    hey wubwub, if you are down there this Friday, I'm doing a show down there in the city... hit me on the PM, I get in at 1pm and can take you out to some spots...

    peace.
