I'll take some of it. ;-P well, at least w/ the indie power pop side of
things. I wouldn't buy major label stuff from Not Lame, either! ;-P
A bit more seriously, w/ Media Play/Musicland closing stores left 'n right,
renogiating leases w/ the stores remaining, it brings warm sweet memories of
the only time I over worked for a corporation, when I managed Sam
Goody/Musicland stores in LA for two years(the hair metal years in LA, late
80's...talk about hell). And how explaining to the district manager and
regional manager that we needed to set up the store store with what our
customers were looking for and be able to buy what they were coming to us
for and being met w/ derisive threats always revolving around the use of the
phrase: "Follow The Planogram". Rot On.

@ Not Lame, the first damn retailer for power pop!
