I'm sorry to say that my patience with record shops has dwindled over the last couple of years. Honestly, i cannot believe i'm saying this. I've done my time, 20 years man & boy. Gone are the 2-3 hour visits, bored mates/girlfriends/wife & maxxed out credit cards.
For me the internet has made record shopping easier - a search engine and online listening is far less hassle than a flick through the racks, moody staff, and limited listening posts.
One shop i would still love to visit is Monorail Music in Glasgow, part owned by The Pastels. Their amazing One More Song compilation clearly shows why record shops should exist.
