"rock'n'roll needs to be seen, touched, smelled, and tasted just as much as heard. i want the tactile, visceral, physical guts of it all. i want to unroll the poster, open the gatefold, explore the cover art and the liner notes...i want a totem that exists in the physical world...we just want the blood and filth of real life and the purity of ecstatic transcendence--neither of which are available at Wal Mart."

"the indie record shop is a global institution. it's a place that reflects history, the current state, and at times, can predict the future. identities are formed and molded at record shops when on discovers an artist, an album, a genre, that moves them to no end. it's a venue for human contact; a social HQ for all music fans and fans of all music."
