OT - i miss record stores..
I still buy records on a weekly basis. Thank God for Record Surplus and Amoeba Records…and Discogs.
i don’t… cause i have one a few blocks from my house
been going there since i was about 12 or 13 years old, but i am gonna be sad once i move.. especially if there is no record store where im moving too!
nothing like looking through crates of weird music for an hour, then buying a few because they have cool album art, and finding out that only one of the records is worth listening too haha ![]()
I miss them also, the last one around here closed just a few months back. I managed to get a steal on anything he had left in stock which was nice but it won’t bring back that feeling of hunting for those lost gems.
was just thinking of adding that…
Not that I miss the record store, I still go to, the thing I miss is the Exclusive release you could have in really few copy… kind of cool battle between DJ for a record. Now you can have everything, and on the top of it please Kill the f*ckin a55hole who’ve created Shazam & app like that. Even my grandmother can know now the track i’m playing. It sucks to spend loads of hour to find/discover tracks and then a young a55hole show you the track ID then download it for free 'cause he just don’t care about music and all. It sucks!
Word..
but I still find rare tracks (on vinyl) that people still hit me up about.
There’s a pretty good one about an hour from me, but I don’t go very often anymore. ![]()
Fuck 'em, bro. It doesn’t matter what anyone else does, it matters what you do.
Although I don’t really get the “exclusive sounds” deal. I play other people’s records in order to share them with the masses, innit, not to keep them to myself.
I know what you mean, all good point, but still … I like the Idea to have an exclusive and/or hard to find track on hand… kinda warm feeling inside to be unique… f*ck I’m so special after all LMFAO!
a record shop just opened up a few months ago near me in Poughkeepsie, NY. Its pretty awesome to finally go digging.
Honestly I’ve never been in a record store and not felt like they’re sneering at me as if somehow I’m not supposed to be there. I couldn’t give a fuck if they all die, there’s still plenty of places to buy vinyl.
not the same
^ bu bye now
i agree to a point with the sneering.. some stores are/were worse than others - but you just gotta build a rapport with them. after they know what you’re into (and know your name) they’re usually pretty good.
at least that’s how i found them to be here (in melbourne).. didn’t take long for them to know what i was into, and they’d keep copies of stuff i might like behind the counter before it went onto the shelf… and i miss that! (not just in EDM stores either.. i had an independent cd/vinyl retailer i used to frequent that would always have garage, rockabilly, psychobilly, country, dub stuff put away for me to preview)
lol, and in English?
WoW spam bro.
