kirkenshrir said:p.s. "Yoday Is Your Father", I totally agree with you! It's a pitty but it's true: Music has become disposable.
But the death of the record store is not what i'm worried about. It's mostly the death of the used CD shop - that is scary! I could name dozens of artists I love today that I discovered through used 2$ cds, tapes & even LPs picked up from used record stores, hand-me-downs, garage sales or pawn shops and the disapearance of this part of the market is really a tragedy for our future musical heritage. Music is now deletable.
A great point that I hadn't considered - and sadly very true :(
