were my comments harsh or something? I was serious in that I didn't KNOW of Birdman Sound. My comment truly meant that I didn't know what they've done. Pure ignorance. I would have been glad to read a list of their accomplishments. Like, hosting bluesfest stages, shows they may have supported, or other special events. Vinyl shops are pretty much independently promoted with very little outside support. Unless they make it easy to sell online with cheap shipping, they're entire business model is based on walk-in traffic. Let's face it, it's super easy to order vinyl online and just wait a week for it to show up at your door. It makes it super easy as well to forget how fun it is to go to the shops with friends, decompress and go over the finds, then go home and crack the seal placing the fresh (or musty) vinyl on a turntable. Thanks for that vinyl bloggy link. I'll be sure to visit that often!
