i remember these days browsing the bins for cool looking artwork or the undeniable logo of your favorite label. it was when going record shopping was a real event, i’d spend all tuesday (old record release day in the states) at record stores. There’s also a lot of albums i bought in those days that i don’t have anymore cause album buying could really be hit and miss.
i appreciate the loose genre on things, it makes it easier to cultivate a music collect and to obtain more that stays around versus i got this album tried it and dont like it so it will sit on the shelf for the next five years. getting too specific on genres and labeling almost always leads to bickering.
ultimately, a friend a long time ago told me something that stuck “there are only two genres. shit i like and shit i dont like.”
