Same company I believe. I guess they bit the bullet and have turned into a 100% online store. A sign of the times. |

yeah same place... boomkat is just the online version. thing is with pelicanneck it's been more a good meeting spot for me, have met some good friends in there over the years... it had a nice veggie cafe attached to it. pretty unique place, nice place to chill like. it's not a dinosaur mentality, it's more that we like to have interesting places in our city. internet is good for buying records but it's just not the same for me... |

Also, actual human interaction is important. I like good record stores where you can search the racks for at least two hours. Talk to the staff because (usually in that kind of place) they are just as geeky as you are. You don't get that in HMV. Maybe you can find good rare stuff on the net but it's kind of an antiseptic way to find the things that you want. |
