  1. I like my local record stores and i like the fact that they get a day that makes them a good amount of money which helps them buy new titles, pay their employees/rent/taxes, etc... If my local record store is forced to close, Im forced to drive further to the next one and if that one closes down, repeat process. Cant believe were on a vinyl collection message board yet there are jaded folks on here about helping out record stores.

    I can understand not going if you dont like the titles being released this year (my counter argument would be to diversify your musical tastes a bit more), but you also need to realize that the world doesnt strictly revolve around you either.

    In a year where some are complaining about the releases, this is easily the best release lineup in my and im sure lots of other peoples opinions.

    I like record stores too and I see your point. Look, if RSD is about saving the local stores, fine. But just because I want the Moneen repress without having to deal with clueless employees, limited numbers and the chance that it's not there, doesn't mean I think the world revolves around me.

    The record store business is a rough business. I've seen them close like everyone else. But I've not seen them hitting the streets, setting up booths at local events, or doing anything to advertise. Print off some flyers for pete's sake and pound the pavement. Simple things like friendly and knowlegable employees, listening stations and reasonable prices would go a long way. I went into my local shop and told the guy I was interested in buying a bunch of cassettes but he wouldn't print me a list (or even read it to me) of bands from a specific label (off wikipedia), not because he couldn't but because he wouldn't. One minute of his time. Whatever, I'm ranting. Point is I reserve the right to complain.

  2. Who wants to go to a record store and deal with crowds and over priced shit? That's not what I got into records for, I will spend RSD in some dingy flea market digging through terrible fucking Chiliwack LPs hoping to find something awesome hiding amongst the trash.

    Have fun with your special edition reissues priced at 20x their actual value losers!

    I pretty much agree.
