STAFF PICK: Sure, you can head for the expensive chain
stores and their "alternative" collections, but if you
really want a taste of the unique, what better place than the
dozens of music vendors at the Tanque Verde Swap Meet?
It's easy to find oddball cassettes to please both the kitsch
lover and the classic rock collector in you, not to mention the
occasional 8-track...and who can resist those wonderful tents
selling pop and dance music from Mexico? A word of caution--make
sure to shop during cooler hours, or that Wayne Newton tape you
just picked up is going to implode by the time you reach your
car.
