B-Hub at Yucky Salad misses record stores<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I haven’t been in a record store in over three years now. There’s no point. Who’s going to spend 18 bucks on a cd with two or three good songs when you can just buy those songs for two bucks? I don’t miss buying records, but I do miss record stores– everything about them– the people, the vibe, even the smell. I miss going into The Electric Fetus and buying something cool like “Hang Time” and having the punk rock girl ringing me up giving me an approving glance as if to say, “hmmm, maybe I mis-judged you jock-boy” and I also miss buying something like Bon Jovi and having the same punk rock girl give me a dismissive look that screamed “go date-rape a cheerleader, jock-boy”– I loved both looks and I miss them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Truth be told, I have never really liked digital music.\u00a0 Oh, it’s convenient, and it’s brought back the single<\/em> which is a wonderful thing – but the CD always sounded way to clinically-clean and teutonic to me.\u00a0 And ever since all three stages of recorded music (recording, mastering and playback) have gone from analog to digital, it’s all felt cold and heartless to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And record stores?\u00a0 I used to love the feeling you’d get when you’d talk the totally-wasted stoner behind the counter into playing some sample on the house stereo; sliding the record out, dropping the needle, the anticipation as the record rolled toward the start…<\/p>\n

And Katie sounds off:<\/p>\n

Bill is trying to pretend he isn’t that character from High Fidelity, and he so it that character. He’s if that character and Nick Hornby had a baby. Also, I hate that sone from Hinder so much I wish it was a rabbit so I could kill it with a shotgun. <\/font><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the crowd goes wild!<\/p>\n

Katie also settles a bet or two:<\/p>\n

And no, I’m not dead, I’m just in hiding.- Katie<\/em><\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sure, I was worried.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
