Personally I love visiting old record stores - whether it's vinyl on the shelves or CDs. There's something about browsing through records and revisiting your musical past, the evolution of sound and tech and the discovery of a nearly forgotten album. 

Music has to appeal to all senses, and record stores appeal mainly to the sense of touch; a sense overlooked when you don't play an instrument.

Digital music bars are springing up around the place too (In OZ) and it seems some smart cookies are combining the insatiatble appetite for downloads with the indelible experience of visiting and purchasing from record stores.

Great article - thought provoking, as are the comments.]]>

Yeah Earth Day.  AKA the day of this post.

I just think its funny that we can celebrate the old-timey record store one day and earth day the next.  And not miss a beat.

@ volume-addict: I have to admit I haven't spent much on CDs and vinyls the last few years but I do purchase a ton of show tickets AND merchandise.  Sometimes I think $40 for a T-shirt is ridiculous but a) the money goes to the artist and b) it's nice being able to "capture that moment in time" you know?

I still do shell out cash for CDs though, especially for local indie acts.  Nothing beats an actual inlay you can stare and the smell of the printing is something else.  Haha.

The switch in technology is inevitable but I do support Record Store Day just because it would be a shame if, say our kids never even know what a record store is.  It's a great place to share music information and ideas.  True, so is the Internet, but a physical connection with someone at a record store is better than text in a forum.]]>

Great article covering what it was like out there, Jade.  It's great that everywhere, people were supporting their neighborhood record store that day.

So how much did you spend on CDs and vinyl?  What free stuff did you score on top of that?]]>

I've been a total music freak all my life. Worked in record stores for 10 years. Started with 45's ,thru lp,s- 8-tracks ,cassettes,cds to digital, today.Here's my take: Personally, i've never had it so good.the access to so much more music via internet radio stations that play music from all around the world, and being able to sample millions of songs,blows away any record stores capabilities. I was that guy in the record store . This is so much better if harnessed properly. As for album artwork: Love it. Used to cover my walls with it. Cds ruined it for me. Too small. But with digital  and big computer monitors i think it could make a big comeback. Elaborate artwork  will be much more feasible as a download vs the cost of printing and distributing]]>

I hope to see record stores around in 10 years, but with the industry truly going digital, it will be hard to find one. Now-a-days, we go online to buy everything... cars, clothes, electronics... Didn't we used to try things out before buying them? Today's world is about having it "now", and it takes two seconds to click and download something, rather than to walk a mile or more to your local record store. You'll always find a few true music junkies that will never go digital, but it's hard to ignore the instant gratification of a quick song download... As long as music continues to grow, we all need to grow with it. Although we may not like the changes, we wouldn't be where we're at without the digital era of music!]]>

As an optimistic musician and music business entrepreneur, I believe that records stores will never fully die. As records have lasted, so will CDs. Maybe we're all just getting old. What will our kids think of all this?

From wax to vinyl to tape to CD to downloads - I'm just glad music is still surviving, and evolving at a faster rate each day. The only thing to do is stay positive, and keep supporting those who rock out for the benefit of our entertainment.
