What one place can you score: mix tapes made by Calvin Johnson, furry dolls by Mike Kelley, claymation DVDs by Ian Svenonius, limited edition Maui and Sons reissues, and copies of Werner Herzog's travel diary?
If you said heaven, you're right! But if you can't wait that long - where on earth are you gonna find all these delights? That's OOGA BOOGA in LA's Chinatown.
Specialising in obscure zines, magazines, art books, clothes, and music - with an emphasis on limited edition, small run or handmade items - it's kinda like Colette if you took away the snooty French staff and replaced them with friendly, enthusiastic, arty little SoCal punks. Yay!!
If you can't get to La La Land, don't trip out, man! All the aforementioned goodies (plus heaps more from Opening Ceremony, Bless, Susan Cianciolo, Shobo Shobo, Steve Dore, Paper Rad, Dean Sameshim, No Age, My Barbarian, Ariel Pink, Abe Vigoda, The Sads and David Scott Stone) are just a click away.
