If anything (and this goes with my other post), this just means indie stores will sell less bullshit now. I highly doubt "indie kids" go to "indie store" to buy albums by most of those shit bands. INCLUDING RADIOHEAD, WHO SUCK.

Both the real independent record stores in this town closed down years ago. Used to love browsing through, listening to this or that. I actually did buy a couple non-indepedents there, I think. Good times.

There's a huge difference between independent record stores and indie record stores.

There are towns all over the place that aren't big enough to warrant a record store from one of the chains, where a couple of guys have opened a record shop that is the only place for miles around that folks can buy any kind of music. They're not there for hipsters, they're there for everyone. They've already been hit hard enough by downloading and recession, and now they're gonna be hit again by one of the big four (is it four these days?) record companies refusing to sell stock to them. Which is crap.

I want to try and explain why this is so crap, but I can't be bothered trying.

Er, isn't indie just short for indepedent? Maybe you mean there are indie (independent) stores and there are INDIE (INDEPENDENT)stores.

I don't think it matters what kind of record store you have anymore, they're all suffering.

there are independent record stores, as in not a chain or conglomerate, who sell any album by anyone, and then there are the ones that specialize in indie rock and shit like that.

this will affect the former but not the latter.

I have a tab at my local store. They provide me with what I want, and they don't mind waiting till payday. They don't do indie. They do do classical. They also know the fuck out of what they're selling.

If I want something that falls out of their remit, they'll sell it to me, or, in extreme cases (the distributor wankery of the Parmegiani boxset), they'll e-mail me a link to a website that will sell it. These people will stay in business because they're good at business and have a niche. Most indie stores cater for fickle fly-by-nights. They will, eventually, all die.

Well, I'm sure they'll still end up in the used bins. No biggie.

right.

Both the old independant music stores around here sell mainly used cd's, horror movies, porno, and bongs now. They're not even "music stores" anymore. I went in there recently and bought a used Fudge Tunnel cd and some salvia. It was crazy.
