Sweat Records

After moving to Miami six months ago I finally went to check out Sweat Records and was glad I did. I don't know what took me this long. It is a record store, coffee shop and community center in one. I bought two old 45's from Team Dresch and Fifth Column and two zines. They have a good selection of vinyl, CD's, books and music and art zines you can find nowhere else in Miami. And, a welcome relief, they are really nice and the store is located on the edge of Little Haiti, a neighborhood that could not be further from South Beach and, in fact, feels like...Haiti. It makes a great Saturday day outing, or any day. Their website is http://www.sweatrecordsmiami.com/ and it is a good way to stay abreast of local happenings.
