Much of the stuff we like if you blink its gone. Record stores rule. I found David Linton's Neutral LP for $8 at OM last weekend. But then I also bought the Batoh/Espvell CD. I'm not obsessed with formats, but I generally buy vinyl if I have the option.

Sort of, except you can vote for both places, and as many times as you want. If I am picking up something by Toshinori Kondo I'm going to head up to good ol' Shake It Records because I know they will have it. But if I want, say, the new Shins and Best Buy has it on sale for $8.99 (this is hypothetical, although similar situtations have happened to me) then sorry Shake It, hope there are no hard feelings and you understand why I bought it from the "Man."
You don't have to make every move and decision throughout the day a statement.
