In today’s digital world, why bother going to a music store when you can just download to a computer in the comfort of your home? I admit, I have been taken in by the convenience of itunes and the like, however, I still miss the tactile experience of opening the cd case and flipping through the lyrics and album art as I listen to my recent musical purchase. Theres also something to be said for the smell of old records and being exposed to sounds I often have never heard before that have chosen by someone who spends all day sorting through music. Such is an experience that can’t be found in FYE or other chain stores, which is why I’ve provided a list of my top 3 favorite small music stores in the city.
