ive been doing this since i started listening to music... at the beginning as i lacked of everything i even used to go twice a week to teh shop and after having listened to records for one hour i spent one more hour chatting with the seller around a coffee (subliminal message to record shops owners : give free coffee thats well appreciated !!!!)
its been six months i still do this, but checking on the internet on several websites to get a broader selection of tunes. i know this holy freaking...
the paradox is that i actually avoid only labels i know (like primate / primevil, though "pushcametoshove" is already worn out coz it hasnt left my crate from its issue date).
