| _Griphin_ User Info... | Requiem For the Record Store Downloaders and discounters are driving out music retailers http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A20620-2004Feb6?language=printer Could the same thing happen to local independants like Turntable Records, Ditch Records and Lyle's Place? - Sat, 7 Feb 2004 2:24pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Which store? - Sun, 8 Feb 2004 12:23am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | i dunno what people expected. they shoulda figured it out ahead of time. shows you the state of the music industry these days... and the prices for cds are outrageous here. i saw a satryicon cd for fucking 32.99 at HMV, what the fuck is that? and 22.99 is still pricy for lyles (not ragging on that wonderful store at all.) but why are cds priced so goddamn expensive? especially the good metal stuff? - Sun, 8 Feb 2004 12:58am | ||
| Anonymous User Info... | Fuck that, I get awesome deals at Ditch, their used shit is a lot cheaper than that bullshit at a&b. Plus I would much rather support a small local record store than a stupid chain. - Sun, 8 Feb 2004 2:30pm | ||
| [+} User Info... | buy direct! if you buy from constellation records (godspeed you! black emperor, do make say think, etc.) the cd's are $14, LP's are $12, and EP's are $8. great music that doesn't fuel the corporate middleman. - Sun, 8 Feb 2004 6:00pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | You work at A&B Blaire?!? Yeah I know Stephano who works there, I spend a lot of money every few month's, these days more on DVDs then CDs. That's too bad to hear about the layoffs, but explain something. How come they re-did the bottom floor?!? You used to buy CD walkmans there, but one day suddenly it was gone. - Mon, 9 Feb 2004 12:37am | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Stefano quit?!? No wonder I haven't seen him in awhile. You working on the second floor right by the vinyl, or which department exactly? - Tue, 10 Feb 2004 11:33pm | ||
| ted zeppelin User Info... | individual choice is ALL that is important. Want to have a real cool record store like lyles or ditch sell real good music at affordable prices? Then dont support big business at all, ever,and suggest the same BEHAVIOR to your CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE. CREATIVE VISUALIZATION is the ONLY THING that WORKS. - Wed, 11 Feb 2004 9:24am | ||
| Dano User Info... | {{but why are cds priced so goddamn expensive? especially the good metal stuff?}} Ever hear of Napster or Kazaa??? Sad but true. Dano - Sat, 21 Feb 2004 7:37am | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | all the good metal bands i like are not mainstream. like take for instance a band like Drawn & Quartered. I like them alot, but their CD is ridiculously overpriced at Lyle's. If I somehow got their songs off of Kazaa for free i'd be cheating a small-time band. Theyre on Moribund Records, and they are an underground label. Underground bands need support. I dont feel bad about d/l anything on major labels, because theyre a joke. - Sun, 22 Feb 2004 6:30pm | ||
| des fleurs User Info... | I buy from those that need support. Or that I want to support. "Bigger" bands... I'm not as likely to buy their stuff, but then again, more of their stuff is available online too. I love indie record stores anyways. - Tue, 24 Feb 2004 3:03pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | it has to do with distro, I dunno how it works, yeah I'm as bummed as you all are. I mean I dropped $50 on 2 albums, and it pisses me off I had to spend that much cash, but what can I do?!? - Tue, 24 Feb 2004 9:45pm | ||
