Peter, I did some research about it a while back and my memory is that it did NOT last terribly long, so it was very lucky that I stumbled onto (and into) it. Again, I visited in 1996, most likely, possibly 97.

The only record store near Harvard I've had the good fortune to visit was Weirdo Records, also defunct. I remember strolling toward it with one record in mind--Borbetomagus & Hijokaidan, Both Noises End Burning--and as I approached the store, my nose twitched, as if to say, "You'll find it here." Lo, despite the relatively low stock, there it was!
  7:43pm

Ah wow! Yeah never heard of it.. found an article mentioning it in ‘98 so it made it at least that far, but don’t remember it from when I started to hang out there, probably circa 2001?

Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:44pm
Gary:

↳ peter @7:43
Yeah, I don't think it made it into the 21st century, alas. Here's what the Edward Said story says about its name: "Daff is the Arabic word for tambourine, commonly used in Arab music. Raff means bookshelf."

What a place it must have been!

That's the kind of constellation that attracts my attention! Books, music, Said! Really need to revisit some of his work.

I don't think this circumstance is exclusive to Arabs:

Quote Bird pee is not stored in a bladder but rather in most cases mixes with feces in a cloaca, which releases this waste all together as the white sludge with dark masses you are familiar with and likely just call “bird poop.” unquote
