Yeah, most of the record stores I frequented in the Boston area in the 80s and 90s are long gone. I miss those places. Nice that you still have a good record shop in your area.

How about Newbury Street?

I used to love Newbury Comics back in the day (both the Newbury St and Harvard locations), it was easily my favorite record store, but not so much now. Their music selection just isn't what it used to be, and their prices are outrageous. Also, Tower Records on Newbury Street was great too but that's now a distant memory.

We still have a store like that! It's called Real Groovy and it's brilliant.

I'm not surprised you still have cool record shops in New Zealand. NZ had a thriving music scene in the 80s/90s via Flying Nun Records and bands like The Chills, The Clean, The Bats, Tall Dwarfs, Chris Knox, etc. I don't know what's coming out of NZ these days but I'm sure it's interesting.

NZ music is not as interesting these days, but you could say that for music in general. I have so much NZ music from the two decades you mentioned and it's brilliant. Good times!

Oh yeah, I've seen that one before. More memories. Unfortunately, the metalheads I knew were always such music snobs and had no tolerance for punk or hardcore or anything that didn't sound like Metallica or Guns N' Roses.

I LOVED going to record stores AND video stores.

You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

I was thinking about getting a record player but then it's just more junk to store.

Do you like vinyl?
I like the sound of vinyl better. I like that it isn't so sterile and stripped.
