The end of an era. Record stores are now officially an endangered species. It’s inevitable, and right, but it makes me sad. There is no doubt about it, it’s easier to get and discover music from mi computadora, but there is no digital equivalent of the community created by a good record shop. And nothing will ever replace my sentimental joy at the sight of a place FILLED with music. I usually embrace change with an open mind, but this is one loss I will always be a little grumpy and reactionary about.
In other NYC news, Union Square now has solar powered compactor trash cans that can signal to the dump trucks when they need to be emptied.
The future sneaks up on us, and kills us in the night.
