 Topic: Where do you buy your music?
Posted: July 14 2005 at 22:00 |
|
A good majority of the records I own I have purchased from a small,
local store. They have atleast five thousand vinyl records all over the
place so I just search through them and find stuff I like or have heard
good things about. Many good King Crimson, Genesis and Yes finds. All
on vinyl and most in excellent condition. Besides that I usually burn
it if it is very hard to find or buy it on CD if it is more popular.

I get all mine in shops, you know the usual sort of mass marketed ones like HMV, musicworld
Except there is a great one, which im still discovering called BIG
JOHNS, its one of those nice privately owned one. I like it coz they
say when they think something is crap ie - the toilet in the corner
with "sh*t tapes" in it, or the poster on the floor telling you to wipe
your feet on it of rappers, popstars (last time i went it was xzibit
who does "pimp my ride"), and I LOVE that the rap section is about the
length on my arms wide open (not even)

I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked the Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
They call me the seeker
THE WHO!

The record stores around here don't have much of the music I like, so I
have to buy most of it on line. I try to buy right from the band
so they get more of the money.

I usually shop around the mall, best buy, or local used music shops.
I've only gotten something online once..but I'm having a harder time finding stuff. I can't find any King Crimson anywhere. Not even the brand new re-release of Red. I'll probably have to start doing some online buying.

by the way you can still find a lot of hard to get stuff but not in the most popular stores, mainly the good stuffs hidden in other stores in the out scerts of shoping centers

I was curious if a majority of you buy music online or in the stores. I know a lot of the cd's that are discussed on this site aren't known by a majority of the public and thus are harder to find. But just a reference so I know where to find things easier. If you go to a particular store such as fye or borders/barnes and noble, that would be appreciated.
