I spent almost all my disposable income on records and CDs until the internet made it possible for me to listen to what I want for free or a nominal fee. I’m never going to buy another record again. I actually remember record store cashiers looking at me with a sort of pity like for a heroin junkie. The loss of consumers like me brought down Tower Records and all the chains. In my mind it’s like you’re selling ice to Eskimos. How different do you think your typical customer is compared to my day? How do think not having people like me around has changed record store culture?
