Get sad, buy cds at 50% off, wonder where you are going to get all the latest releases by walking a couple of blocks.
Future Legend, in Hell's Kitchen NYC , is closing after 4 years. It's sad. The shop owners are great people and have been very influential in my listening habits over the years. I have bought hundreds of albums there and now I don't know where to go! The closest cd store is Virgin and I just can't bring myself to do it.
So this is just a little homage to a great place that will be truly missed.
Here's a song from one of the bands introduced to me by Greta at Future Legend.
I hope you all find a little record store where you belong.

Otis Redding died 40 years ago today.
I'm not old enough to have ever listened to him when he was alive, but I can thank my Mom for playing Otis Redding in the house when I was 10 to offset my Bee Gees obsession. I didn't know it then, Otis would become one of my favorites as I got older (and wiser. not that I don't still love the Bee Gees!).
Here's a great song by a great artist.

So what do you think will be taking it's place?:
1) A Bank
2) A Shoe Store
3) A Thai Restaurant
Well, I suppose 'tis better to have loved a record store and lost... I had a love affair with 3rd Street Jazz and Rock in Philadelphia when I lived there and was distraught when I went back last summer and it was gone.
And Hi-Fi, my local used store, closed years ago and was replaced by a dentist's office. Maybe this is the reason I've found it so easy to go digital...
