aarondltd Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I didn't even know this was a thing until I was browsing the online selection of a store not too far from me. It looked like it was all Bandcamp stuff and a lot more I've never heard of. I can't imagine that is all they have in the store and it keeps them open.

unknown pleasures Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 how many indie record shops are open and operating in the usa today? like 1500 or something? Not many are going to be open in the middle of the night. Even Pacific time it's 10pm on a Sunday. Maybe you'll luck out in Hawaii or something... Why the rush, anyway?

shamrocks Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 the better question would be how many corporate record shops are open in the US. there are at least 5 "indie" shops where i am and not a single non-indie that i can think of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 When I think "indie record store" Im not thinking mom and pop shop, is that what it is? Or like the one I saw online today that sells indie labels releases only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downisthenewup87 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 When I think "indie record store" Im not thinking mom and pop shop, is that what it is? Or like the one I saw online today that sells indie labels releases only. The definition of anything "indie" is along the lines of "free from corporate ties and/or influence". So yes, Mom & Pop shops are the same thing as an indie record store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Then maybe that store is an indie indie store. That or they actually have something I would know in the store but not so much on the site. I might go check it out but I could just order from bandcamp instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
