Good post, Ryan! We really ARE our own record stores in a way, aren’t we? I’m about to play my CD collection for the first time in years, and for each CD I play, I will place the case on one of the speakers – “Now Playing”, like they do in record stores.

It takes AT LEAST our generation for this “weird hobby” to die out. And I’m not sure it does with us either, when you see these older formats being picked up by young hipsters. In fact, I cleaned my late uncle’s house last year, and he had a bag of old walkmans. I took them all, intending to keep one for my own cassettes, but maybe selling the remaining three to those hipsters. 😀
