We took an amazing trip during class to this small record store in town. The room was probably no bigger than your standard master bedroom, but it was filled to the brim with records, CDs and tapes.
It was quite exciting. Everywhere you turned there was music. Bins and bins full of old tracks.
The trip served a purpose, as we were preparing to write an opinion piece on if we felt the digital age was eliminating a crucial social component of sharing and getting our music.
So we visisted the old record store to get some information, speak with the owner and employees, and see how many and what kind of customers were there. Not many, but the few that were, were hard core record store junkies. They offered very intersting insight into their feelings about downloading.
It was a worthwhile experience, and very hands on which was nice to sort of get a feel for the atmosphere of what we would be writing about rather than just imagining it all in our head. After all, a good journalists get out there and make a story happen... and that's exactly what we did.
