Coming out here from NYC, I was shocked to not find more record stories in a large college town. I thought that Zia would be more of a speciality store on first look and on seeing the pierced, punked-out, and gothed-out employees. True, the music on when I've been in the store has often been of the punk and black metal variety, but the store is well-stocked with all genres of music. I've gotten some pretty good deals here on music as well as on DVDs. \n\nMy heart has never really warmed to Zia, however. Maybe it's because the selection is not as ecclectic as the store's image. I've rarely found a great deal there on more underground music or found rare albums. Coming from a music fanatic, Zia is a good record store, nothing more or less.
