Are you fed up?

So this would be a crowdfunding campaign where the records would be produced as soon as the campaign goal is met.

Just wanted to touch on two things, I guess when you were talking about the expense it is more related to vinyl pressings because other than that artists don't have that financial hurdle when they release music on their own and make it available for streaming.

Two, I think the idea of this podcast might work just as long as there is a decent cross section between vinyl buyings and streamers that are tech savvy enough to bother listening to a podcast in the first place. I feel like older customers of yours wouldn't be too into podcasts as much as the young hipsters that flock to your store to get their vinyl gems. Listening to podcasts aren't even a difficult tech thing but you know how some old people are when it comes to anything related to tech/computers.

Everyone has such easy access to finding their own music that experiences like Plankton described are few and far between.

I don't care about that aspect of music having people share music in person. It's not that great of an experience imo. I will do it every once in awhile but I'd rather not. Maybe it's because of my circle but when I share music with them it doesn't click on the same level as it would someone from a music forum because they are casual music listens and it doesn't really matter to them that much.

"Before I tried The Slap Chop™ I weight 300 pounds and no woman would touch me, now I have The Slap Chop™"
"If you order now within the next ten minutes, you'll receive this stunning horse carriage clock absolutely free"

I thought about that too reading the thread title but mostly this song.

Yes the damn streets are fed up!

Music is so accessible lately that you don't need great recommendations from others especially if you are more of a casual music listener. Music nerds like us post on this forum and greatly appreciate recs because there is so much music out there that the recs that we get from fellow music nerds will most likely be something we haven't heard of and end up falling in love with it.
