There used to be CD stores and every major outlet had some assortment of CDs. Then they all went online and you could order CDs from all sorts of quant and off colour websites. But that's all gone now, or have escaped me. How do people get there CDs today?
In Portland, there are still CD stores, crap, there are VINYL stores.
But I follow the musicians I like and when there's something new, I try to buy it from them directly. Cut out the middle men.
