Well, i need to rant and who better too than the great wide yonder?
Work has sucked so bad the last week! I am the dance buyer and I have been doing a fairly good job I felt. The records are selling, the section is turning over, what else can you want? We are not a dance store I do not specialise in the latest and hippest underground 12″s or LPs. I carry what people want.
But, come Tuesday all is changed. My section has been rearranged! The compilations have moved….Why? I had finally gotten rid of about 20 expensive compilations that had been sitting around for about 6 years, so the section was empty. But, I have stuff on order. No, the one owner moves the compilations to the other side of the row. He did not approve of the job I am doing. He then ordered $500.00 of 12″s from about 4 years ago!
What? I do not spend that a month in records and CDs. So now I want to wash my hands of the whole thing. This happened when I started being the Goth/Industrial buyer as well. Then I yelled and screamed and ranted and won.
But, for dance? I am a fan, I go to partys, I like the music, I read the magazines, I listen to what people ask me for, I have even done the chemicals. But, it is not my greatest love. – that would be selling music – . But, I wanted a fairly good section, people would be happy, I would be happy, the bottom line would be happy. All shot to smithereens. The other owner though, wants me just to ignore this and keep running the section, as he likes my work.
So frustrating.
PS I love trance again. I went to Scott Bond(Gatecrasher) and the DJ who opened up made me feel so happy and trancery! Love it! So cheesy!
