We're fascinated when finding shoppes that have a unique focus or genre of music. The stores in this episode are examples of a singular vision devoted to that idea. These stores are always a labor of love often conceived and run by one person. Just a few that we visited are: SELECTOR RECORDS - EDM / DANCE, BLACK WATER - INDIE HEAVY METAL & PUNK DOMINO SOUND - WORLD MUSIC, and THIRD MAN RECORDS - ROCK SUPERSTAR JACK WHITE'S LABEL & RETAIL STORE.
