Do you still use record shops?
In the old days visiting record shops was a thrill even if you never bought anything. What was your experience back then [if you're that old] and today?

There used to be "The Record Runner" here in Ottawa, Canada. They made a lot of money off me. I'd be there every pay day. I went from LP's to Cassettes to CD's. The only music shops left are used CD's. I miss the good old days.

I haven't been in one for a long time and that makes me sad. I loved records more than anyone I knew. Now ya get everything for free on your YouTube jukebox, that's something, but it ain't the same.

If i see a record shop i always go in. Real music stores have died a death here. We do have a guitar store though. However crate searching was a great hobby of mine back in the day

This is the last album I actually purchased legitimately from a record store, it was the nineties.

It was a thrill that I still miss. My memories are of going in to browse through the racks of new records while the in house DJ played all of the latest songs. If I heard something I liked I would buy it. The record store was also a great pic up place. i met a lot of girls in the record store and it was customary to give your number when requested. My favorite store was in Venice beach where all the hippie chicks were. They adored musicians like me and they always knew where the best parties were at. It was a cool place to go here the latest songs and meet people/ Now, everything is so impersonal with buying music on the internet. I loved to read the album covers and credits. I could spend a whole hour reading the freaky shit on those Parliament/Funkadelic albums. That was some wild shit that George Clinton use to imagine. He was obviously smoking. But yeah, the record store was my joint man and i loved it. Amazing that they are all gone now. Totally blows!
