Today’s Record Stores
Apr 14th
Today’s record stores suck. Back in the good old days there were thousands of ‘em and you could discover some great music (and a whole bunch of crappy stuff, too) by strolling the aisles and looking at physical objects. The ones in my ‘hood today may as well be cupcake shops: they’re really cute, only stock a few items, and sell merchandise everybody on the planet could do without. That having been said, please enjoy this weekend’s attempt to build awareness/sympathy for the country’s struggling brick-and-mortar recorded music retailers.
