...and I'm floored you guys still have HMV. I thought they were D-E-D dead. The big box stores like HMV and Tower (Virgin, R.I.P) have all gone the way of the Dodo bird in America's insane rental market. Somehow the excellent Amoeba records in LA and Frisco hangs on.
God, I miss those daze of flipping obsessively through the bins, the clack of the jewel cases, the surreptitious glance at what your neighbor just snatched up before you had a chance... And now what? To paraphrase the Stones:
Amazon, Bandcamp, it's just a click away, it's just a click away...
