R.I.P Neptune Records :(

For the last 5 or so years I've been a regular customer
here at my local independent music store called
Neptune Records. This is the place that helped me find my
musical identity and now I hear they're going out of
busniess on friday. Fuck. Even the fact that everything is
half off an already discounted price can't cheer me up.

Pink Panther records up here closed a while ago too. It was
the place I used to get the early warp, rephlex, rising high
stuff, plenty of good finds in there over the years and the
only place to find them in these parts. It went
downhill though. Before the end it was just stocking awful
metal and shit techno mixes so I didn't feel too bad when it
went.

This is the place to mourn the loss of decent record shops.

I miss Volume Records in Newcastle.

where i first picked up a brian eno cd and where i first
heard of throbbing gristle. great place. i miss it. i feel
your pain, mang.

Yeah man, all these shining candles gettin snuffed out...
only other place close to their level is a store called
Record Time in Ferndale but's mostly hip-hop and techno, not
the minimalist electro-acoustical/ post rock stuff I've
grown accustomed to. I mean, I'll still find great stuff on
my own but it's nice to share with people in person who have
tastes like your own. Eh, such is life

when i was in college my favorite music store "the sound"
burned down.

i peered into the window at the charred blackness and wept.
i wept tears of tears. teardrops full of tears for the torn
tiers of music.
