I'm heading home on leave for 30 days and my wife wants to go to Prague on holiday.
Anyone know of some good vinyl spots? Or nightclubs???

Cheers! 8)

Here's the (unsurprisingly hilarious) google translation of hip-hop.cz

Looks like you're going at just the right time - the Hip Hop Kemp festival starts on the 20th. 'Kemp' translates to camping - I'm not sure what Hip Hop Camping entails but Method Man, La Coka Nosta, J-Live, B.o.B, Blu & Exile, Camp Lo, Planet Asia (the list goes on) are all playing - looks like a seriously heavy one! It's about 250k east of Prague, but with a lineup like that it's gotta be worth it (your missus likes hip hop right?).

As for vinyl shops, a bit of clever searching and I found the motherload. Some dude on the discogs forum made a map of all the vinyl spots in prague - loads of em! It was posted 23 days ago so should still be relevant. Rapublik looks like it might be ok for new records.

EDIT: Just found this post on an expats forum - looks like the place for crate diggers! http://www.expats.cz/prague/showthread.php?p=675527

EDIT 2: This looks sweet as well, any shop named after mingus has gotta have some gems.
