Shades, also known as sunglasses, are worn either to obscure identity, or to exude coolness. They can also be used to protect your eyes from that burning ball in the sky.

Shades is also the name of a music shop in Ankara, Turkey. The shop has a great collection of hard-to-find-in-Turkey rock, jazz and blues albums. The owner, Suleyman, is a devoted fan of good music, and he imports high quality out of the mainstream albums that the big brand shops ignore. One can find t-shirts, posters and other collectible items related to music as well as people with good musical taste there. It is a fine idea to drop in if you like to talk about music.
