This has been on my mind lately. I see indy record stores less and less these days. So read this article which I found over at The Denver Post Online's site. It sites examples of why we are seeing less good music stores and more chain megastores.
Not to mention that record labels cut the megastores huge price breaks if they buy in bulk (not something an indy store can do) so the megastore can use music as a loss leader in able to get people in the store to buy electronics, home appliences, and computers.
So next time you think about going to "Best Buy" or "Media Play" to pick up some new music, consider first a small local store.
