has that place ever caught on fire? every good indoor flea market i know has had a fire in the past. the creek had one a couple of years ago and there was one that looked like your picture (a big 4-5 story building) that burned completely down.

do you actually buy/collect vinyl yourself? |

gimmicks are not going to keep record stores alive. |
"vinyl resurgence" is nothing new, either. it was a reality well before RSD was established.

there are three record stores within 3 mins of each other now, plus half price books has gotten into the game a little. wish they were here when you visited! |
i do have a question about storage though; are crates fine, or is there a certain way they need to be stored? right now mine are just laying in a small little stack next to my player because i only have like 15-20 vinyls.
|
Just turn the stack so they're standing not laying on top of each other.

wasn't your original argument that like generating fanfare for consumerism is repugnant? and I said what's the big deal they need the business. and then you said it doesn't help the business.... and look honestly I am not an expert if you have info on RSD being ineffective to boost profits I'll concede the point immediately, but I think you already said that it definitely brings in mad $$$$ on this day, like any other sale/novelty thing at any other place that sells shit. I am going to assume it's a good way to do business, otherwise why would anyone bother spending money on advertising/marketing and putting on these sorts of gimmicks? certainly not just for the entertainment of enthusiasts. businesses exist for profit.
if you just think the idea sucks, that's fine you are entitled to your opinion obviously, but I find it hard to believe it doesn't help business. and when you are struggling to pay a lease, every little bit helps |
my position is that RSD is NOT about keeping "vinyl culture" alive. It is purely a marketing/one-day money spinning exercise. So we agree on that much!
RSD seems to be shrouded by this pretense that such gimmicks will get people hooked on vinyl. Interested? Sure. But, like drug dealers, record stores need large groups of people to be hooked (ie - regular customers). I would argue that the hardcore collectors aren't really too interested in what RSD has to offer, on the whole. |

it should never really be about money, but that's another argument entirely....

WHY DOES ANYBODY NEED TO BUY A WHITE DINOSAUR JR / THE CURE 7" SPLIT

to be fair here, dopey novelty limited releases are a staple of independent record labels
see especially southern lord of course it is also necessary for them to do sustainable business by generating hype so what are you gonna do |
generating hype for one day does not sustain business.
|
i wasn't talking about record store day exactly
|
okay well i think Southern Lord does things pretty well tbh
Third Man, on the other hand.... |
More like Third Rate, amirite?
