I was just at a record store in a nearby town, as I had some time to kill while my wife was doing something else in that area.
This store used to be huge, but I found that they had shrunk it down by two thirds. Record stores in general are a dying breed. Once ubiquitous, they are now scarce.
I guess everyone buys online or does digital downloads these days.
But there's something that is lost here. The act of physically inspecting, reading, flipping through LPs and CDs. And then there's the conversations other customers and staff. This is not something easily replicated online.
Glad we have gasland, as it offers us some of these experiences, albeit in a mostly anonymous, digital banner.
