Are there any record stores left at all? Well I know there's one -- we used to have a local string called "Silver Platters" which had shops way south, south, east, north, and central. They closed them all except the central shop. I could easily get to the south location, but the central location just isn't damned likely. Since that was the only record store I know of in the south end, I am forced to buy online.

I could have gone to Border's but their selection was almost entirely current hits-based. And my tastes don't run that way. But anyway that's moot because they closed all those too, and the one nearby that isn't closed just sells books and not records anymore.

I don't want a music collection of mp3's because the quality isn't as good as a CD, and because if for some reason your mp3 gets deleted, you're out of luck.

O..O
