Another One Down

When I lived in Dublin, Road Records was one of my favorite shops. I spent a lot of time in the Dublin music scene, doing research and, well, enjoying the music, and Road was the place to go for local bands' music. I have several of their limited-edition splits that are just great.

But Road's closing, and here's why.

I'm as guilty as the next person of not always purchasing the music that I listen to and enjoy. I pass several outstanding record stores whenever I'm in Portland and I rarely go in. It's emusic or itunes when I buy anything at all - but I don't want these shops to die. I guess I'm not the only one. Do any of you still buy real CDs?
