There is no space left to grow anything new, even college radio has mostly been taken over by corporates or outrightly sold off. So its very efficient for the corporates to get their money from itunes, but you can only sell the same Beatles catalog so many times. What will they do next, try and tell us there is a BETTER download format and we need to purchase that fucking whore katy perry's catalog all over again? No gets excited about a download the way we used to get excited about a single. And there is no underground anymore, if you're on facebook, you're totally overground, even if no one cares about your shit.nygrumpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-36289348415378753442012-12-11T10:55:31.582-05:002012-12-11T10:55:31.582-05:00I remember going to bleecker bob's in high sch...I remember going to bleecker bob's in high school in 1985 looking for crap I couldn't get at Tower Records and soon found nothing I wanted. There was another smaller but better record shop up closer to NYU off the park, cannot recall the name but it had much better stuff. Bob's was good for tee shirts that's about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-84943424396624607322012-12-11T10:53:39.978-05:002012-12-11T10:53:39.978-05:00So Bob's replaced a neighborhood staple?
