if record stores and labels pretended like every day was the much-talked-about annual Record Store Day, a lot more of them would still be in business.

call me weird and too young to remember the good ol days of digging through the crates or whatever, but i'll take the convenience of shopping for (or "stealing") music online and having instant access to it over always having to hop in my car and face god knows what whenever i want to purchase new music.

outside of the social, face-to-face community factor, i don't know if i miss these days that much.
