To the anonymous Idiot form Nov 5: You can have your pristine antiseptic soulless world. Just leave us true music and culture lovers the messy stinky magical record stores. Rock on Pete!
Great article Chanel!
Thank you for such an amazing article-- so well researched and written! The Daily needs more writers like this one!

Anybody who understands music at its depths rather than its popularity know that these stores are a treasure. The quality of the music today at all kinds of levels speaks for itself. It's like one Daily columnist said, there is such a lack of important and insightful personal contact and communication today that you can't get people's attention with quality so the only way to do that is simply produce noise that makes them uncomfortable and takes them out of their temporary complacency. Volume is everything -- like with the MC 5 in the 60s. And there is no substitute on the internet anywhere for Peter Dale, despite what the story says. And the guy is right about music and fascism.
I really could care less about most of these places. They're dirty, smell awful, have terrible customer service, are a mess to navigate, and many times you are overpaying for what you get. If you cannot adapt to a changing market then you don't deserve to be in business. They need to get with the times and start offering better service, or branch out from just music sales.
Wow. You're kind of an idiot, aren't you. You missed the whole point of the article, and I am fully convinced you don't even like music. It's too bad that record stores are the things that are vanishing instead of people like you.
great, great research josh. you did a great job. this is something that's really important to me.
