co-sign all these comments. I only buy singles of itunes to support the artists I like but ain’t nothing like that feeling of struggling to wrap off the plastic on your cd just to pop it in and bump it front to back – meanwhile reading all the credits and shout-outs and admiring the photos and album cover. NOTHING LIKE THAT FEELING

“Still, there’s nothing quite like being in an actual store, with it’s promotional paraphernalia, deejays and general atmosphere being something no digital store could ever duplicate.”

^^^No doubt. As long as record stores exist, I’LL still be goin’ there. Plus, most real local/underground artists are slow to go digital anyway. There’s nothin’ like that atmosphere and opening the cd package, even though it takes like 20min to open it.

My personal best Fat Beat memory…during the Rawkus, indie ‘eruption’ of the late 90′s, digging through stacks of amazing underground records (half of the artists I never heard of, because you couldn’t find their music everywhere on the internet). All of a sudden the house DJ (some short Asian kid) throws on MOPs “Down 4 Whateva” with OC. It was me and like 15 other heads in the place and our necks snapped to the beat all at the same time, like in a cartoon or sumthin….RIP Fat Beats!

yeah I rather buy the CDs than on iTunes.
They cost about the same, and you get more with it, and just upload it onto your ipod.

Anyway, can your next blogpost be about Lil’ Wayne. Not really about Jail, but if you like him or ever have, favorite “era” of Lil Wayne and why you continuously post him on your blog.

Personally I used to be a really big fan of him, and now he makes pretty good songs once in a while.

Man, I used to work at a Warehouse store on Hawthorne and Artesia in Torrance, Ca. back in the day. Best job I ever had. I got to bullshit about music all day and every night we closed the store we would roll doobies and crack 40 oz. in the parking lot. Believe it or not, that joint is still there. One of the last Warehouse stores left in L.A. county.

Man, I’m so against buying music digitally. If I buy something, I want to be able to feel it. If it’s in CD/LP format and it’s dope, I’ll most likely end up buying it, especially if it’s released on vinyl.

^ Reminds me of that Bruce Willis movie with the virtual bodies.
