Wiseblood

I normally woudn't spend $13 on an EP I won't listen to much, and infact I didn't. The MoJo "going out of business sale" everything was half off, so I picked up some rare Clint Ruin for $6.50. I love this shit:

you are killing the indie scene by buying things at rock bottom prices. get thee to an overpriced mom and pop and rectify what cool you have left!

This is not true. The presence of a solid used market improves the economy for new products. Would you buy a new car if you knew you would have to keep it for the life of the car? Not likely. People buy cars factoring in the resale value when they are done using it. The same is true for other markets. More so for something like music (and Clint Ruin in particular) in which people may make a gamble purchasing something they may not like, and then flip it on the used market when they discover it is not to their taste...

I read an interesting article on the matter recently, but I can't find it. Here's a bad one, that's similar, but about <a href="http://esposito.typepad.com/con_read/2005/07/used_books_dont.html"> books</a>.

Don't worry 10 D. You are preaching to the choir, my friend.

I remember circa mid 90's when G. Brooks was lashing out at stores that were selling his product used instead of new.

I was jabbing at a horrificly misguided pitchfork "news" item from a few weeks back.

I'm right there with w/ you, NP, saw the sarcasm. Mom and Pop stores can also sell used material, and I will continue to support them as long as they sell analog audio that includes a 12x12 piece of art.
Garth Brooks is the Thomas Kinkade of music.
