What a sad world we now live in.......


What a sad world.....

Had to go to our local Wal-Mart for something for the wife and thought would check out CD,s while here.

Could not find them so asked where to be told they had decided to stop selling them in-store.

In fact the whole electronics section looked bare and desolate.

Pretty sure a sign of the buy online times we now live in.

It is Walmart's loss - I used to go to Best Buy once a week to buy CD's (and in the process purchase something I didn't need), I have not stepped into Best Buy in 6 months - stupid marketing decision.  There was really nothing in the Walmart bins that I was interested in, and even their online was not only poorly created, difficult to use, but had no selection.  I now buy all my CD's online (amazon, amoeba, elusive, acoustic sounds),  purchased 3 today.  It is good news for the local record stores that are packed now - and not with old people, young people - and most of them are browsing CD's.  Many kids can hear the difference between an MP3 and a well recorded record.  The CD's are much cheaper than the vinyl alternatives - you need a pretty good system to make a record sound better than a CD - most youngsters don't have $50K to blow on a system.  New SACD's are coming out every week - it is a good time to be a music lover.
