As someone that used to own a record store, I miss that too. I opened a record store when I was 27. No business acumen, just a pure desire to show new music to fresh ears. I brought in bands and in-store events. Midnight record release parties and loads of other fun things. It was awesome and I had a great run until downloading killed it all. I didn’t have the smarts to figure out how to keep it alive. It was harder back then anyway as there was no marriage between digital and physical releases. Everything was just free back then. Anyway, rant over. I miss talking about music in person with like minded strangers.
