“you shop is bullshit … the only thing worse than the
poor selection is the wack personalities and elitist
bullshit you have to put up with… the same goes w/
satellite… i can’t be bothered with premadonnas
espescially when they can’t keep up with nu shit
now… can’t be bothered
i am just letting you know that i speak for a growing
massive of former l5P record stores shoppers who are
fucked off and deterred by the morosity of the scene
or lack there of
fortunately there are still a few good record stalls
around but not in this city or state… what can you
do… so i’ll hear no more of that contra ordering
online dogma or ordering out of state whateva
and yes the only thing worse than venetian snare’s
music is his personality
anyone who makes hard breaks music and doesn’t know
who source direct is deserves to be shot!!”
This is my email this morning!
This is why I lose interest in ordering stuff for people!
I try, I really do try to get obscure hard to find releases for people. But, people like this just Fuck me off!
I work – note work – in a small independent record store, we cannot carry everything! We try carry what people want, but if you come in once a month or so demand very hard to find releases(only 100 copies made etc) do not be surprised if I cannot order it and tell you no. By all means go on the web and try get it.
And the keeping up with new stuff! Wow, I keep up with as much as possible – R&B, Rock, Soul, Rap, Indie, Dance, Goth, etc, I do not go into a very small niche and try only to track one thing, sorry if my Drum and Bass and BreakCore is not up to your standards! No one in the City is, it is too small a market and waay to specialised. We carry what people want – yes and they want Venetian Snares – how many record stores even know who he is and carry some catalogue on him?
Arrgh so mad now!
