In honor of the music store, a dying remnant of a past culture. I've heard rumors that City Lights, the last music store in State College, isn't doing too well. Despite the current state of commercial music, please go support them. I hate seeing that culture disappear from our society, and iTunes just isn't the same. Not to mention that the man who owns the store is pretty awesome. Everytime I've walked into that store, whether I bought something or not, I've left feeling somewhat enlightened.
So to City Lights, and all meatspace Music Stores, I dedicate this video. And by music stores, I don't mean Circuit City or Best Buy or Walmart. I mean that record store down the street, the one where people who actually care about what they do. City Lights is a great example; Used CD shops; Virgin Records! Forums of our knowledge and enlightement few in my generation have actually immersed themselves in. But times change, and so must our business methods. Though I will miss buying John Zorn CDs right off the shelf.

I didn't even know city lights existed until this weekend, and i actually went there yesterday. I wanted to buy the new franz ferdinand cd, but having not known there was a music store in town, I pre-ordered it online about a week ago. I hope it doesn't go out of business because now that I know it's there, I know where to go to get a good cd.
