Template:Music Store This self-described “Store for freaks” buys, sells, and trades the finest in jazz, psychedelia, improvisational, progressive rock, avant-garde, acid folk, and other modern sounds. Located in a clean basement, Twisted Village also stocks a small but smart collection of LPs (prices range widely) and CDs, many of them imports and rare recordings. This is the place to visit for authentic indie music, jazz classics on vinyl, or Timothy Leary's LSD CD. Twisted Village occasionally also holds in-house music events. Check the website for updated information. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.

Template:Jazz Music Contrary to what your beatnik friends may have told you, the finest jazz clubs often reside in the hearts of swanky hotels, and Regattabar is no exception. Hosting big-name national jazz acts (Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Diane Schuur, and McCoy), the jazz bar also showcases a wide variety of emerging talent, most notably during its annual Regattabar Jazz Festival held every Feb.-Mar. Don't show up expecting your crush to pull up a stool next to you—there's a better chance that the attractive man next to you will turn out to be your History professor. A limited number of general admission tickets are available 1hr before the first show of the evening. Cover tends to be steep at $12+; min. 1 beverage per patron on F/Sa nights. Casual to semi-formal dress. The website lists the Regattabar's performance schedule and ticket information ($1.50 surcharge for online bookings).

Club Passim's Cambridge basement incubates its share of acclaimed folkies and other musicians angling for renown. Bluesman Taj Mahal played here in his early days; other alumni include Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Shawn Colvin, though not Bruce Springsteen, who was turned down for rocking just a bit too hard. No alcohol is served, and the place doubles as the earth-friendly Veggie Planet restaurant. Tu night is open mic. Cover $8-25; member discount $2+. Casual.

Folk music is alive and well at Passim Folk Music and Cultural Center. Perhaps not a first thought for kids' entertainment, Passim offers free, monthly programming for kids ages eight to 12.

Template:Music Store Formerly known as CD Spins, On Church St. sells new and used DVDS, CDs, and video games. Though small, its collection encompasses all genres, from jazz and blues to rock/pop and even techno and international, but it may take a good deal of browsing to find just what you're looking for. Although the price is right (DVDs $10+; new CDs $10+, used $8 and under), serious music buffs may prefer Newbury Comics or Twisted Village for specific hard-to-find albums. Still, On Church St. remains a great place for aimless rummaging. Look for sales to land especially good deals, and don't miss the “Wall of Quality” for classic albums at classic prices. They'll also buy back your CDs for anywhere from $0.25-6. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.

Quietly tucked away on JFK, Planet Records' misleadingly small space holds an extensive collection of used rock CDs. Check out their selection of current used CDs before shelling out big money at Tower Records—there's a good chance they'll have it for $6-12. Despite specializing in CDs, Planet has a growing collection of vinyl gems for as little as $2. They trade and buy CDs and records of all genres. Expect $1-3 for your old CDs, but don't bother bringing them in unless they are in exceptional condition.

Template:Music Store If you can get around without knocking anything over, you'll find a great selection of 45s and LPs spanning all genres and generations at this independent music shop. Their CD and cassette selection, which pales in comparison to their records, is dominated by the '80s and early '90s. A seemingly out-of-place rotating CD display pays homage to rap and soul's greats at bargain prices ($6). A modest selection of DVD movies and music also available. Rare steals may be hidden in bins throughout the store, but be prepared to rummage for a while. Buying prices are established on a “record by record” basis, and selling prices range from reasonable to dirt-cheap. SA 10% discount. Location at 957 Comm. Ave. is double the size (617-787-9755).
