Used bins and the Tower import section are a great place to find things that
I wasn't otherwise aware of. I'm not saying that you can't learn a lot over
the internet, but there are some things that you can only stumble upon by
trolling through the bins. This isn't a knock on shopping online -- I'd
just hate to not have the chance to flip through CDs and vinyl at a store.
I'm wondering if this experience is less meaningful for those who don't live
near a good record store, particularly those not near large urban areas.
Meaning - if you don't have a good record store, you adapt to conditions,
and eventually just don't miss it too much.
