I managed to get there last Friday on the New York leg of my honeymoon and grabbed a handful of dope LP's and a bargain UK britcore 12" that was in the dollar bin. Even got interviewed and photographed as part of an interview Jared was doing for an NY radio station about the closing. Very friendly service and Jared recommended some great funky-latin LP's for me to check.
Hate hearing about shops closing down. Toronto used to be lined with them. They're popping up again, but the hipster douche bag influence is now present.
No love for the skinny jean crowd, but sure, I see your point. The worst is when they actually get jobs in a spot u like - dealing with that "I know Indy bands u don't know eye-rolling shit is the worst.
to be fair hipster douche bags are probably a sizable record buying demographic
I've said this before but to the rest of the planet, outside this board, Soul Strut absolutely would look like a convention of hipster douche bags. Let's just be real about this.

Change skinny jeans into baggy jeans, and indy bands to indy hip-hop, and you sound like an old record dude 20 years ago.
Embrace the hipsters, they might help keep record shops from dying much like sample spotters and break fiends did in the 90s.

No. The worst is when people working at record stores are actually into the same music as you so half of the records that you would want to listen to never make it to the racks.
