Disclaimer: I'm not that old but I still want to participate! I miss music shops, but sadly, even if they were still around I'm not sure I'd have the time to go hang out and visit them anyway! In between work and life and family and ****, it's much more convenient to buy all of my music and media digitally
When I was a teenager I worked at Missing Link Records in the heart of Melbourne city (I have a feeling it is still around and kicking but not 100%).
I have the best memories there! I started off doing "work experience" there where I was paid $5 a day and then later ended up getting a casual job there. All the people that worked there were these seemingly intimidating, heavily tattooed and pierced dudes but they were so nice, even if they did give me all the ****ty jobs like sitting out the back peeling price stickers off. Music shops do indeed have such good vibes about them.
