Requiem for a record store
I. As a child I went where the pediatrician. When I was not going to kill something else anemia was rare (typically the older brother who used to experience while others do better with the genetic and parental experience).
Almost every time we went to a medical appointment Discotienda passed by remaining in the 23 (which now must be some top of shoes) and my mom bought me a Disney tale of those who came with booklet and 45-disk RPM. So I learned to read, to associate the images with written words and the actions he was telling the disc. My mom says I memorized the stories and pretending to read them telling people that I had learned to read.
put When Disney took the story of the small discs of the label "Costeño (Codiscos subsidiary) or FM disks and tapes and listened to my dad vallenatos liked both those days: Rafael Otto Serge Ricardo, Lisandro Meza, Romualdo Brito (If I can find the photos in Manila that I'm sitting by the stereo with a bunch of records of 45 the escanearé to illustrate this post).
II. The first break with the music of my parents was a gender breakdown because I began to like the sauce (which was neither an enthusiast) and the second was a break in style: The music that I wanted to buy the sold on CD, not LP. After buy a few acetates bought my first CD with nowhere to play in late 1994. Herman, owner of The Old Wagon , and William, of La Casa del Compact were my CDs providers strongest in nearly a decade. What I miss about their stores is that they both knew a lot about music and he was well treated as a customer. Today you enter a Prodiscos or Entertainment Store and sellers is that thanks to his musical knowledge may well be working in a clothing store. The other good news is that I trusted Herman. I reached out and scoring records in the open that we had my dad and me. Each month came and left him he had saved the money they gave me for afternoon tea in the college or university.
III. In New York managed to visit the Virgin Megastore and bought a couple of disks in a Best Buy . The experience of buying music in a giant warehouse or in a place where they put the discs with appliances seemed a little sad. The disks were then stacked in rows in alphabetical order around the washing machines and blenders, as happens here in the Success and Carrefour store, or about books in Carulla.
IV. When Diana introduced me to Marín Santiago Higuera and Records Sparta feared for my life and my financial stability. He really knows where the business is mutating discs. Brings limited edition, luxury editions, rarities and memorabilia appreciable very select audience of buyers - in the medium term - is the only music-buying public with a physical (Insert emoticon of happiness or sadness at your option).
V. The discussions generated by the so-called Law Lleras and, above all, the position taken and repeated speech by major record companies against new forms of marketing of music remind me of the sad state of the music industry (note: I say music industry no music industry) and I do miss the little store overhead of 23. Is a source of nostalgia - as music lovers - see the decline of the industry, but as a musician is encouraging to believe that there is no future for us, even with fewer intermediaries.
VI. - "You know you have to change the page when you hear Tinkerbell, the fairy of Peter Pan, playing his bells and ... (ring). Let's start now ...".
