If You Can...
The latest Dum Dum Girls EP, End of Daze, came out today. I headed over to my local, independent record store like a good citizen; and, not unexpectedly, they didn't have it.
Sure, I could have told them to order it whenever I heard the news that this record was coming out, but I didn't. So now I have to wait. This is the problem. You want to be a really cool cooldad and support local businesses and preserve the institution of the independently-run, local record store. It's really impossible for them (or any business), though, to stock everything that everyone may want at any particular time. Yeah, they can order it for you; but really, at that point, don't you just say, "I can do that myself?"
So, I'll head over to Sub-Pop or Insound and order myself a copy online (my laziness also caused me to miss out on the limited-run, clear vinyl "Loser Edition") and ponder the plight of brick and mortar businesses.
In the meantime, I will put this video on endless repeat; and Dee Dee's voice will make the waiting less painful.
If you can catch the girls live (as I did last nite, and they were stellar as usual) they have copies of the loser edition with them
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I'll be seeing them on 10/18 when they open for The Walkmen at T5 in NYC.
