retail really sucks right now,blame it on the internet.what happened to wherehouse,morningglory and all those stores is just sad.this year i visited the westcoast first time since 2000 and from santa barbara all the way up to san luis obispo i only found 2 little record stores with very few westcoast artists albums,mostly mainstream.
that one guy told me rap became pop-like,meaning people don't worship the music anymore following artists over years.
