holy shit, that took a long time! maybe it had something to do with the place catching on fire during construction, or maybe it’s just that everything in las vegas takes four times longer than it should (stoners). but zia is open, and it looks great inside. and not just that – there’s a lot of really good music stocked up in the racks as well. they were blasting ramones the entire time i was inside – so much better than the shitmetal/numetal/buttrock/shittyshit-wraparound-shades-goatee-flame-hat-no-fear-truck-shit-metal-shit that’s always playing when i go to the zia on eastern. and – and – and – they have a pretty damn good selection of new vinyl! i almost cried when i saw the new no age nouns record sitting up there looking all pretty and clean.
