Whenever I go to Rasputin, I go straight downstairs to the used section. Here's where Rasputin shines over Amoeba. I mean, they're both independent and huge and have a million records. And I suppose Amoeba might win out with it comes to sheer vastness of product, though unless you're looking for something really obscure, I'm not sure at what point the vastness is lost on me and it becomes more overwhelming than anything. Like I said, I don’t worry so much about all those gazillions of albums upstairs. Because the used section rocks. Everything is really well organized by genre and artist and I always find something that I've been meaning to buy, or even better, something I would have been meaning to buy had I known it existed.
