Rolling Stone Says It Is The End Of Owning Music

[One and a half]

In the 70’s record stores the genres to choose from were male and female vocal, classical, jazz, and the largest was groups, that’s it. Look at today with an explosion of genres, it’s not physically possible to stock even a shallow depth of music people are willing to search then buy. Too much choice?

 

For the last three years or so the amount of space devoted to vinyl hasn’t grown in the stores in my city, so the surge in vinyl is overhyped. Much like the OSX share at 14%, there’s more optimism than reality.

 

Thank the stars for Bandcamp where new musicians can get a foothold and make a name for themselves, there’s a huge choice of very talented people.
