Even in this crazy iWorld, there's still something about stepping into a record store and having a human experience. Imagine a perfect afternoon: You've just cleaned up at nearby Beacon's Closet and decide to hit Sound Fix to satisfy your new-music jones. As you mull the (reasonably priced) new releases, up pops a friendly clerk urging, say, the new Ladyhawk. At the listening station, you're thrilled with the recommendation, purchase the disc and head back to the adjacent café for a coffee (maybe a beer if you're feeling saucy) and, if you're lucky, a free show by the same band that's playing Bowery that night (on Record Store Day, it's Regina Spektor). This isn't fantasy, it's reality. Now, isn't that better than BitTorrent?
