Interesting dude who believes that music died in 1933.  15,000 records (mostly 78's) to prove it...

The new LP by The Smile is between $40-45 …I just can’t do that…

How come Dischord can sell records for $13?


The greed by major labels shouldn’t be surprising but it’s shortsighted

Its only short-sighted if people won't pay that much. As long as there are fools with money, its the right price.

this story was already posted on this board, a mere 16 days ago.  i feel that going to a corner and thinking about what you've done isn't nearly sufficient as penance.  this board is going straight down the tubes.  i can't even.

WaPo wrote a story about hutch??
